the card sucks, but what could be more metal than decapitating your own creature to hurl its head at your enemies? nothing, thats what.

i give it hell-yeah/5

Would be much better, even pretty good, if you didn't have to tap it.

Much fun in Eternal formats with Eldrazi tokens, act of treason and the like.

5/5 for flavor, 2/5 for usefulness

Often mistaken as a pillow.

Wish the activation cost didn't have that pesky 1 in it.

Not bad in a control/fling deck for use in situations where you're gonna lose the stolen creature & don't have the card you need for flinging it, like a back up plan. Helps achieve metalcraft as well.

I could see this being reprinted the Innistrad block. It so wouldn't break standard could be really good with morbid in limited

I am proud to say that the first infinite combo I discovered involved this card and Void Maw. I'm pretty sure it completely didn't work, and was based on my not knowing how to play Magic but having a really cool Orc Shaman precon deck and wanting to do something infinitely, so I decided to read the cards as if that's what they did. Ah, the good old days. I forgot the rest of the combo, but I remember needing red mana for some reason. (this was before I knew what mana was though, so I'm not sure.)

A catapult that uses skulls? It doesn't get anymore metal than this.

Not a fan, like others have said. If it didnt require taping, or cost 0 and tap, would be a fan.

Am I the only one who finds this artwork hilarious?
