You could have some fun with this in almost any game, and even more fun in multiplayer.

Play with a colorless artifact deck, and use Sarpadian Empires, Vol. VII for complete destruction of your opponent's creatures.

Put this in an artifact deck and use a playset of Transguild Courier.

use it with Darkest Hour and any repeatable token generator and you can be sure that you'll have the only creature on the board ; )

Artifact creatures? I just use this to kill everything. As long as I'm quicker on the rebound once someone disenchants this, I'm golden.

Any 5-color fatty can pretty much clear the board (besides artifacts/eldrazi) with this. Just be sure to use something like Moonlace to so it doesn't die as soon as an opponent plays something new.

Well, if you just want to do a deck that totally hoses all creatures, throw in a Painter's Servant. Might as well add an Aether Snap to take out Planeswalkers while you're at it.

One of the more legitimately disconcerting flavor texts in MTG. Always fun to play in multiplayer as well.

Only Black cards would include something this crazy and powerful.
4/5 from me.

I like it with Endless Whispers. Everything dies at the end of every turn. Triggered abilities abound. Actually profiting is more difficult, but enjoying the chaos/politics is priceless. Just make sure there isn't a Wispmare in the mix.

Aside from the combo potential and interesting interactions this card has, it's also just plain good.

In EDH, when you likely have around 2-3 opponents, decks that share colors abound, and this stops people from wanting to play many creatures at all. When creatures do manage to come into play, they're likely to just get blown up by the next person's creatures before they get a chance to do anything. Meanwhile, you can sit around, drawing cards and building up a great mana base, holding on to all the removal you would have otherwise been using.

Lethal Vapors has the same effect on the game state. Try them together!

Mogis, God of Slaughter EDH wants this. You can keep your commander on the table and deny your opponents a chance to build up a supply of creatures.
