I think this is the first card that lets you put a "kick me" sign on someone in multiplayer, unless you count Donating something really good to someone (which obviously has its problems).

Oh, man, using this in Archenemy would be awesome!

Combine with Death By Dragons in multiplayer when you decide you absolutely hate someone.
Anyone else want to try this with Blighted agent in an infect deck? Worked wonders with Invisible Stalker in the prerelease.
@dudecow - the curse only gives out counters for combat damage so you'd have to swing with the spikeshot elder before he'd get the benefit.

Am I the only one who wants to run a deck with this and the Vows? "Sure you can attack me. Well except for the creatures you actually want to hit me with and it's more beneficial to kill that guy anyway, but whatevs."

A cheap, fun curse. Red likes this, colors that can splash red like this, midrange decks love this and EDH likes this.
All around a nice, solid and interesting rare.

I pulled one of these during the pre releas and won almost every game with this and a diregraft ghoul. it is simply an amazing card, pair it with stromkirk noble to have a 3/3 by the second turn

In multiplayer, this essentially reads "Ruin target player."
with Fireshrieker it exponentially grows the counters.

Guys, it's great with Spikeshot Elder not because it gets counters when it pings (it doesn't), but because when it DOES ping it deals more damage if it has +1/+1 counters. So, there is legit synergy there.
very good in any vampire deck that uses a good amount of red mana.

Cheaper and most likely harder to destroy than Rakish Heir

Worked wonders for me in a draft.

This card is pretty darn sick in any creature heavy deck. And yet another sweet combo for the always popular Triskelion.. Wait a tick. Is that yet another insta-win for Trisk??

Combos with crypt rats or thrashing wumpus or Plague Spitter. aw man, looks like a fun deck to make.
This turned my Dragon Hatchling into an airborn menace in three turns, the other two weren't far behind at all.

So anything with double strike gets two +1/+1 counters and anything with trample is loving this , or even unblockables. Even more of a blowout with Aurelia
It's also referred to as "Form of the Horse" by some players, since it acts much like Form of the Squirrel on the cursed player, except for the upside that he'll get 1 life whenever his 1/1 green Horse token named Sacred Prey gets blocked.
Soon the Curse of Tastiness will be in both Red and Green- Curse of Predation is now released as part of Commander 2013!
Wait, hold on a sec... I misread the card, it's really a Gleam of Battle (with a few differences) for just ! That looks pretty insane. Of course I'm putting both curses in my Borborygmos Enraged EDH deck.

Works wonders with any red or red-splashed aggro deck.
Turn 1: Reckless Waif Turn 2: Transform into Merciless Predator, Play Curse of Stalked Prey, swing for 3, Merciless Predator is now a 4/3. Turn 3: Play Full Moon's Rise, swing for 5 trample. Now you've got a 6/4 that can be regenerated in an emergency.
