Possibly more useful if you bring something like Sorceress Queen...still not a very reliable card, though.

It isn't Innocent Blood, but I think it can be good.

"Oh my God, I just wiped the board with Day of Judgment! I'mma drop my bomb and wi-"

"Wretched Banquet."

"FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-"

Hilarious theories abound. A much better card at second glance, and while it looks rubbish on paper, removal is removal.

And the flavor text is blunt, direct, and absolutely hilarious IMO.

Killer of Defenders, good card when you have not any creatures on table ;) It could remove even some high thoughs :D

Seems solid enough, if you remain aware that you need to work to make it work :)

Oh, hello there Fissure from YuGiOh. Didn't see you there after you put on a Magic suit.

People aren't looking at this card in the right light.

You DO NOT play this card in a creature heavy deck, you play it in a control deck.

Goes well with either Godhead of Awe or Humility. Mind you Humility works much better with red spells that can ping multiple creatures for one apiece.

As a few have said before, it's a lot better then it looks.

I threw this into a control deck with some edicts and thought, "What the hell, it probably won't be very good but i'll try it." This card is amazingly useful... especially if you don't plan on having many creatures out the first three or four turns.

Sedris, laying the smack down on Jesus since Conflux.

Well Sedris sounds like an arse

Going by his flavor texts, Sedris's Creature Types should be "Zombie Warrior Troll."

Actually, the flavor text comes from one of my favorite Frank Zappa songs.

I have a soft spot for this card. Conflux was my first draft and really the first set I really started playing. This card and Bone Splinters were two of the first removal spells I got to use and now I appreciate them much more. I'm glad Liliana brought Bone Splinters back for us.

Ink-Treader Nephilim. If you put them on the stack in the correct order you can choose what lives and what dies.
