Tap to get a free land destruction? Yes please. Not to mention a 5/5 for 6 mana. And as far as the upkeep goes, it's not that bad; considering most black creatures of this caliber require you sacrifice a creature.

Fun Timmy card, but the upkeep can be a real challenge.

Desperately needs reminder text. (You pay a cost of the form 'BBBBBBBB' or 'PPPPPPP' by giving your opponent the raspberry.)

Dear person who posted the "Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Demon Hordes!" you have stolen my heart.
@Travelsonic: You certainly would be able to tap to destroy a land during your upkeep, even if you don't pay the . However, without paying the upkeep cost, you will still have to sac a land of your opponent's choice.

Question: How does the upkeep cost work?
Does it untap, then tap if the cost is not paid, in which case I can just in response tap for free land destruction?
If it is untapped, it taps ?
What?
I mean, since there are no rulings on it here that I can see - in which case I'd assume my first guess, but I defer to anyone who is more knowledgeable than I.
EDIT: I mean, your turn does start "untap, upkeep, draw" - from that alone, and what the card says - DURING your upkeep - it would seem to me that you can get land destruction every turn, but again I defer to more knowledgeable folk.

Donate it to someone with no conceivable way to pull off BBB a turn, and it really does become land destruction for free. Beware of untap abilities though.

Guys, this card isn't even close to being strictly worse than Helldozer. I don't think you understand. With helldozer you have to pay that {B}{B}{B}. With this, you can choose not to. You still get to tap to kill one of their lands while this card's self-tapping effect is on the stack. Imagine if helldozer had an alternate cost to tap to sacrifice a land. That's even ignoring the fact that you can do stuff like turn twiddle into a 1 mana sinkhole.
All your giving up for that is a point of power, which won't probably matter anyway because this card is meant to lock your opponent out of the game before ever taking a swing. Okay, you're losing the strength against nonbasics. Still there are tons of situations where this would be way better than helldozer. Imagine reanimating it turn 2. Now neither player can do anything that costs more than 1 mana. Wait until you've got your dark ritual or whatever, summon any creature, and win. Strictly more evil card than Helldozer.

I must say, though, they love keeping Shauku, Endbringer company in the graveyard until Necrotic Ooze shows up.
