This card would've been a fantastic candidate for the Epic mechanic (you can't cast spells; copy this spell once per turn on your turn for the rest of the game).

In Commander format, I already cast this with 38 life points. Fun.
One of the sole reasons why I threw in Batwing Brume into my EDH deck. EVERY time my friend played this, he'd dive in for the kill. ONCE I managed to beat him after he dropped this thing, and that was because I dropped the land-eater (the blue one that came out with the pre-cons), gobbled up all my land, slapped the grieves on him, and swung all-out, doing JUST enough damage to kill him.
Quite expensive, needs to be in a dedicated deck... 3.5/5

I have this in one of my EDH decks. The best I've done so far was Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, sitting at 120 life. I cast this, and gained 480 Pegasus tokens :-)
The game got really crazy then. Two opponents went, couldn't find a way to kill my guys. Guy before me thinks he's all powerful when he drops All is Dust. Thanks to Leyline of Anticipation, I drop Altar of Dementia and milled them all to death :-)

Once someone plays this is EDH, the table calls to all Black players:
Billy was always laughed at for his love of cute little horsies. Little did Billy's opponents know, he had a new weapon in his frequently mocked horse tribal deck...
So my friend is playing his retarded-ass Ghave token deck. Lo and behold, he plays this, with 59 life.
I say, revealing the Suture Priest in my hand, "Your actions are unsuitable for this game. The court finds you guilty for being a giant dippedy-doo (I wasn't thinking about what I was saying).", and literally laughed out loud, BECAUSE SUTURE PRIEST WON ME THE GAME!
It was a glorious moment. Don't play this when there's a Suture Priest on the field.

This is EDH gold. Slower format, and chunky 40 life starting total. If anything demanded a sweeper or loose, its this card.

Also, the combo potential between this and Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter is ridiculous.
I hate it. But it's a good 'win' card.

"You... play... Demonic Tutor... and find... a Massacre Wurm..."
And then profit.
Anyone?
And that's how I lost my friends.
I had a Leyline of Anticipation out. This is important.

THIS IS WHY I THIS CARD MAKES ME PEE MYSELF.
