I notice that Greg Staples did the art for both this and the AVR edition of Angel's Mercy. The similar poses can't be coincidence...But I do wonder if the mirroring was part of the art directions.

I think they are both dudes... though vampire make-up makes it tough to tell, sometimes.

It's always interesting to see cards like this that are terrible but if their mana cost had been tweaked just a tad, they could have seen actual play. As mentioned, 1BB would have been good, but you just can't justify the additional mana for this.

This is what happened to the guy a the bar who was playing wingman to his buddy who wanted to pick up the chick in Angel's Mercy.

I'll rather stick to my Gruesome Discoveries and PICK the cards my opponent shall discard after sacking a black cat.

To everyone saying this should have been printed at {1}{B}{B}: Just compare this to Blightning. Blightning is two colors and was still a very powerful card. Reducing the amount of life loss by one would not be enough to justify taking an amazing multicolored card and making it monocolored. Now, a cost of {B}{B}{B} would be fair (as it would restrict this to mono-black decks). Of course, Wizards probably doesn't like printing many cards with such restrictive costs.
Funny how this is identical to Rakdos's Return when x=2 and the majority of the time you use Rakdos's Return it is with x=2. All this lacks is the ability to be an overcosted Red Sun's Zenith and burn people as a finisher.

It may have a place.
