Plainview: I'd like you to tell me that you are a false prophet... I'd like you to tell me that you are, and have been, a false prophet... and that God is a superstition.

Eli Sunday: ...but that's a lie... it's a lie, I cannot say it.

Committing suicide for love...? That's more likely to incite horror in Serra than appreciation...Eventually, we need a flavor text for a future white or red/white card along these lines: "The one willing to risk martyrdom is a hero in the making. The one who desires martyrdom is a fanatic already made."

I have decided this guy is named Bob. Why? He kind of looks like a Bob. Also, its really fun to shout, "Beware the Wrath of Bob!"

Classic board intimidation if ever there were. Costs the same as a Wrath of God, but removes things way more permanently with the trade-off that you have to find some way to kill it. Plenty of options for that: attacking, blocking, Doom Blade.... My personal favorite method is "sacrifice" costs like Fling: because they're costs, rather than effects, your opponent(s) can't bounce/exile/etc. the prophet to stop it from telling everyone else to do the 200 meter dash off of a 7-foot-long ledge. They can still respond to the effect itself of course, but that's usually a lot harder to do.

@SkyknightXi: Yeah, flinging yourself from a cliff wouldn't really make Serra feel all warm and fuzzy, but then again this guy is a False Prophet for a reason.

@yyukichigai: Sorry, but the name "Bob" is taken by some other guy.

Because jumping off a cliff is something Serra wants us to do.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but are really Wrath of God XD

Cheaper than Final Judgment, although he has to die first.

I love using this guy in multiplayer, it's like holding everyone hostage.

Not sure how it started, but my EDH group has nicknamed this guy Keanu Reeves. It took me five minutes to find this guy because I just couldn't remember his real name.

The picture implies he's leading a group off of a cliff, to "die for Serra", right? I'm just curious about this cliff; where the hell are they jumping into that doesn't just destroy you, but upon impact, ruins you so thoroughly you are exiled from the game?

"Why would Serra want people to jump off of a cliff?"

She wouldn't. There's a reason this guy is a FALSE prophet.
