creepy artwork and intimidating name, but not a strong card anyways. ;)

Jesper was awesome with black cards and he made this one creepy as heck. I've always loved the flavor of it, even more now that it's become a zombie.
Unfortunately, it isn't a very good card. The ability does combo in casual play with Arcane Teachings since it isn't limited to combat damage, and the extra toughness will help with most burnage.

I just read The Gathering Dark by Jeff Grubb, and these were mentioned. Yay! I know my Magicz. Anyway, this card is cool, even if it is a little black-mana intensive. I personally like it.

I was gonna suggest Krovikan Plague to keep it mono-black but just realised it's Krovikan Plague that deals the damage not the creature...

The 2/3 toughness means after it hits, it can rest as a blocker against 2 power guys and, thanks to its power, still do damage.
"Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" would have been much better if it was about these. I like the idea that this is the only creature that continues to damage opponents on the condition that it has touched them once, like the stain on your soul is so great that it keeps harming you even after the creature has stopped attacking. That, with it's creepy art and flavor text, makes for such great flavor.

OK, this card is expensive: three black mana is no joke, and four mana for a 2/3 is a lot. However, thinking about the 1994 standard creature costs it is not SO high...
As a Vorthos, I love it! Its plain and simple name and its creepy artwork make this card one of the most flavorful in Magic.
About playability, I think I obvious that for four mana in black there are far better options!

I guess it's now a bit better with planeswalkers. Hit an opponent, and this dude will keep any planeswalker that players gets into play small or even kills it.
High Synergy with Zombie Master. The master gives the fallen evasion, to increase the chances of hitting an opponent, and keeps it in play with regeneration.

I am interested in purchasing the original artwork if anyone knows where it is located.
It would be cool and useful if it kept damaging them for the rest of the game even after leaving play; but as it is, it's just not very good. If you want to ping your opponent for one every turn, there are much better ways to do it.

An improved version is Diseased Vermin, which isn't saying much.

Hit each opponent, and then start binking creatures...
