Play both him and his mirrored pal Soul of the Harvest in your BlackGreen decks!

Do you think this is a hint at the power level flux that is coming in Magic? When Titans rotate this card will be awesome at 6 mana. While titans exist no one will even sniff this card.

Any other creature's death give you cards. In multiplayer game your card advantage would go through the roof.

WB control, with a nicely-timed Day of Judgment or Divine Reckoning?

If you trade him with a titan you still get one card because they died at the same time and his ability will still trigger. That seems totally reasonable. This seems like the type of thing black players love. I cast Doom Blade, and guess what? It's a cantrip! and look what I drew... another Doom Blade!

Play him in a token deck and if the opponent uses Day of Judgement, they only buy tempo, not card advantage (which is really saying something!)

I think this is perfect for a rare at CMC=6 -- big fatty, two nice abilities, not so overpowered to just win the game for you, and can be built around within the set. Good job R&D, 4.5/5.

There will always be a place in my black heart for card drawing demons.

It's when any nontoken dies, not just yours.

Make everyone start hitting themselves with Gisela.

How you supposed to get both out?

Well....there is this girl I know named Kaalia of the Vast..

No surprise that this demon is better than it's Green elemental counterpart Soul of the Harvest.

I'd say this 6-CMC creature that does something with souls and harvesting of the two is the better one.

This is mainly because Harvester draws when any creature dies. Soul of the Harvest draws when you play a creature. There are no shenanigans with Soul, because tokens aren't allowed.

However, with the Harvester, you can do all kinds of crap. Here's an example of something I did in tonights draft:

I had Harvester of Souls, Bloodflow Connoisseur and Blood Artist out. I played Butcher Ghoul and sacrificed it. Undying occurs, and then I sacrificed it again.
The end result came to +2 life for me, +2 1/1 counters of the Connoisseur, and 2 cards, while my opponent lost 2 life and is going to take +2 damage than before... all for 2 Mana.

Young Wolf, Strangleroot Geist, and anything with Undying Evil added to it can do this exact thing. You can do so much with it.

It's a perfect creature... but it isn't at the same time as well. 4.5/5 for absolute fairness.

Fabulous card. Have this out with Birthing Pod and enjoy the card advantage; trading a creature on your field for a new card AND a bigger dude out of your library!

i hope you like drawing cards because, Grave Pact. love this card; it's so hard to draw a shit ton of cards in black without some stupid draw back like bargaining your life. great too especially in a block with Liliana of the Veil

Demon, you look like a mongoose. And the flavor text is absolutely hilarious. And such a very solid card, too! Very nice.

Suddenly, Malfegor's ability draws you cards instead of the opposite. Simply beautiful.
I haven't got to play it yet, but I Cloned someone else's and it heavily encouraged me to do so.

Is it just me, or does the flavor text mean that this guy is actually Judge Dredd?

Viridian Longbow - a demon using a bow doesn't make much sense but anyway...

Powerful!

Sure, it's a bit smaller than its green counterpart, but it works when any creature dies. So, you're going to kill all those enemy creatures anyway - may as well get some cards for it.

This guy is hilarious with Blood Artist. Either get card and life advantage or just do a crapton of damage.

I'm not sure how legal this is but... It's fun.

Pestilence Demon and this guy were out against my friend's mono green beatdown deck with Liege Of The Tangle and some other weenie elves. Pay 8, everyone takes 8 damage, everything dues, I drew 8 cards consisting of Dark Ritual, some lands, Demonlord Of Ashmouth, Demonic Taskmaster and Tormentors Trident. SWING. Card advantage after a board wipe is always welcome

I put this in my Rakdos, Lord of Riots EDH deck.

A combo I found completely by accident was This, plus Psychosis Crawler, then casting into a board wiping creature. (Reiver Demon was my choice.)

You board wipe, draw 10+ cards in multiplayer, deal 10+ damage to all opponents, Rakdos makes all the cratures you are going to draw into dirt cheap.

It was quite satisfying to drop a Darksteel Colossus, Artisan of Kozilek, for free and a Sheoldred for BlackBlack.

As a demon i don't think he should have a may clause, with that clause though he reminds me of a very insistent dog: Here master this squirrel died so I brought it to you

Five stars. This is one of the best card-drawing engines in black, and quite possibly one of the best in any color.
