Always thought this guy's character was cool. But come on! way overcosted (cmc AND his ability's activation)

No way! This guy is insane, not only does he give you an outlet to put creatures in the yard to get rezzed later he can also dump madness cards. His spellshaper ability is Mind Twist which is just retardedly good.

Amazing with hellbent/madness but also amazing for his ability to make opponents cry if played right :)

people also have to remember Prophecy had mostly weak and terrible cards. This was one of the better ones, besides Rhysitc Study and the Avatars

Not just Mind Twist Instant speed, repeatable Mind Twist. U/B deck with enough draw to pay for his ability will lock the hell out of just about any deck.

Hmm, use him in a Psychatog/Madness deck. If you get either out, they'll speed you up... Just don't use them both at the same time.

Hmm... One Howling Mine and this soft-locks them out. Am I correct?

I love the art. Brom is one of my favorite artists. 5/5, though ovverrated almost as much as this is overcosted.

Instant speed repeatable Mind Twisting is worth a meager 2 cards in a color rife with card advantage engines.

He's one letter away from what he really does to minds....... in particular Rayne's, I guess.
It's an interesting mentality that works really hard to build a deck around something like this--you want to play a card game with other people, the point of which is to see fantastic things and interesting synergies, but you also want to prevent any of that from ever happening and just skip to the part where you win. I find it unrewarding to play that way, but I like that it's an option; the execution of black as a color reflects the flavor of black mana so well.
Considering that Mind Twist is probably the best discard ability of all time, 5 mana for a 3/3 that can cast Mind Twist is hardly overcosted.

Few people recover from a big Mind Twist, so in some sense there's no need for repeated MT. Being instant discard is it's biggest pro, at the cost of two cards, a tap, and mana paid, all on a bolt-range creature. In multi-player game though, being able to MT more than one person is evil.

The premier Madness general, being the only black legend with discarding of any card as part of a cost. Not to mention the whole "instant speed repeatable discard" thing, which can get irritating very fast.

I'd love to see instant speed discard back.
Also, this dude looks awesome, thus begs for new/more art.
That is an increadably scary ability to be able to repeat...
4/5 Stars
