A 1/1 deathtouch indestructible for 5 wouldn't have been terribly exciting, and this is worse. The flavor is cool and the art is amazing... but it has pretty limited applications.

I obviously don't know about constructed formats yet, but this thing was a pretty decent mid-game drop for me in the prerelease. Often things would go to my being outnumbered to my opponent being outnumbered in just a couple turns. It tended to make them think twice about attacking too. 4/5 at least for limited.

I pulled this and a Cackling Counterpart at the prerelease. The most fun I had with this card was fighting against a werewolf deck and using the Counterpart to copy my Creepy Doll twice. That was the highlight of the night, honestly...I kept giggling like a lunatic. And then my opponent asked me to stop, because he'd just watched the Doctor Who episode "Night Terrors" not too long ago...

Between this, the Plants vs. Zombies refence, and Gheistcatcher's Rig, I have literally no clue what the hell is coming in Dark Ascension.
Except that it will be Epic.
While I LOVE that they managed to pull of horror tropes of every shape and size in Innistrad, I also do hope they return to sanity with the next block and not be TOO spread out. It worked because they got lucky with some amazingly deep design space. I'm not sure they could do nearly as much with, for example, Pirates. Or Ninjas. Although we already have Ninjutsu and Bushido. A return to Kamigawa block would be unexpected, but I think there might just enough to do it again one more time. Mirrodin and Zendikar have more than enough to fuel another block each.

They should reprint time warp at some point during the block. Because you know lets do the time warp again from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

PROS: -There's no negative gamble to the coin toss (like 'sac Creepy Doll'). -Indestructible creatures are always great, and leaving Mirrodin, this will be one of the few we'll have. -Actually frightens the opponent to keep them from attacking. -Flavor is outstanding. I'm reminded of that movie Dead Silence (puppets kill people if they scream.. idk, i've never seen all of it). It actually fits the movie perfectly, as there's a chance the other creature would survive.
CONS: -Really only usable as a blocker. -Requires combat damage to activate. -Cost is a little high. (but shouldn't be a problem, Wizards seems to be pushing for slower games, which is fine by me) -Dolls are creepy as hell anyway. (Oh wait, this is a PRO...)
I honestly think deathtouch would make this card too good. Indestructible and deathtouch are two things that shouldn't go together without really having to work for it. That'd be more aggravating to face than deathtouch/first strike. Although a fair trade off might be to make its power 0..
4.5 in Limited. It's an indestructible blocker that can count as removal, for any color. 2.5 in Standard. Today's games go a little too fast for this to help much, and infect just blows it out of the water. 4.0 in Casual. The flavor is too beautiful, it has to be thrown into something.

Blightsteel Colossus rapes this cards shit. So does any other infect card for that matter, hell just a 1/1 token with infect rapes it. I don't really see the appeal. I just had to put a General's Kabuto on the 1 creature I had that was a ground and this little doll couldn't do a thing about it. 3/5 at best.

i actually like this lil beast. i have this end game with a worldslayer on it, everytime i attack with the lil doll, he had to block it with one of his big boys and risk a 50% chance of loosing it. had my Manor gargoyle to block off his attacking creatures, i kept swining this lil creey doll and finally his biggies lucked out and all got destroyed, and i finally worldslayered him, leaving nothing but all my indestructible guys and worldslayer. 4/5 card, couldda been better if it got like 2/2 or 3/3, 1/1 is jus too lil

I'm not really sure why everyone hates on this card so much. It keeps people from attacking and doesn't die unless they put a -1/-1 counter on it somehow. I run two of these in a casual blue black deck along with Energy Chamber to beef it up just in case. Great little ping card and helps me block and take down other threats.
Last game I played it in, I actually pulled Elbrus, the Binding Blade and had enough mana to play and equip it. I attached it to Creepy Doll and proceeded to swing. Opponent had two choices: take the damage or risk losing a creature. Poor guy misread the text thinking that, if he takes damage, then Creepy Doll transforms. T'was a quick game.

This card was great for me in draft. the guy I was facing had out 2-3 strong hitting guys and when I let this thing out it stopped him in his tracks, with the fear of losing his heavy hitting guys, giving me a chance to let my rage thower and mondronen shaman out. I had ( as far as I know) all the cards that removed cards in my deck, so I was not worried about it going away. Let's just say it was not long after that, that I won. I don't know how well he would do out of daft with the remove cards being more of a problem.

This would have been great, but randomness on losses and the ability to make it unblockable unfortunately make that unfeasible. So sad =(
