In my opinion, not too good, but has a certain amount of usefulness. If you think about it, its like using a Trigon of Infestation twice whith out every having to cast the artifact.

I just checked, this is the only non-black card ever printed with the word "Carrion" in the title. Awesome.

Related to the song "Clarion Call" by Falconer?

Not sure if it has any place in constructed play, but a good pick in limited. The instant speed really sells it.

No, it's a pun on the expression "clarion call" which refers to the medieval trumpets, clarions, which were blown as warnings or signals, often in battle. The song's title is likely a reference to this.

@Gavrilo I think we can dispose of the "strictly better" nonsense when comparing two cards that aren't even the same type.

You can bet your ass that this is almost always better than Trigon of infestation, because you get bugs at half cost and instant speed. It's *** green removal

i think that "infest" is a very powerful ability, and they create infest card carefully. We are not only talking about wither, but poison counter too, so, unblocked, it's like two 2/1 token creature.
further more, like Blackcleave Goblin, this one give you two 1/1 "haste" infest creature if you play it at end of opponent turn. so this card alters how you play just by existing...
not a 5/5 card, between 3,5/5 and 4/5... but, for sure, a very well conceptualized card.

If it made 3 tokens that would be perfect. But it's just a bad Dragon Fodder :(

In an infect deck, it makes two critters at instant speed. In any other green deck, it is "put two -1/-1 counters on a nonflying attacking creature or put a -1/-1 counter on two nonflying attacking creatures." Not too bad I think.
@Dacen_Octavio- Actually, no it isn't a bad Dragon Fodder. Yes, it costs more to play, but in the colour that is the king of ramp. It is also an instant, which makes it a lot more powerful and versatile. And finally, the tokens are 1/1 INFECTERS, which blows a pair of vanilla 1/1 goblins out of the water, both as defensive chump blockers or as extra poisonous attackers.
4.5/5, the bread and butter to my green/blue infect deck. Though I feel the cost is a bit much for two 1/1's, even if they have infect..

There are some advantages to having two 1/1s instead of one 2/2.
Normally this card is overpriced. In some sort of wacky casual infect deck, though, it comes out after Gaea's Anthem for example, and before Overrun. Multiple bodies improve the overall ability should you have a deck based around mass pump.

Definite 4/5.
