very good in MBC..
this creature has card advantage written all over it..
first to comment..

good flavor, definitely something that a*hole Nicol Bolas would play with

for the evoke, Doom Blade and Go for the Throat are better, and who would pay 5 for a 3/2 with fear. There is little flexibility for this card

3.5/5

little flexibility?? if you pay 5 it still enters the battlefield use643

I don't think you understand that the ability still works EVEN if you don't evoke him. A creature tied to a kill spell is pretty much the best example possible for card advantage. Yeah, a plain 3/2 with Fear for is horrible for Standard. But with a free Terror? And you can play it as a slow (sorcery) Terror for the same price should you need it earlier? Excuse me, but what the f**k is wrong with that?! Yeah, those more MODERN cards are better than Terror. But Terror WAS the Doom Blade of it's day. Now there are 5+ versions of terror that each outclass it in some way.

As I said on the other printing, there is a reason the tournament decks of his day played the hell out of him like they play Dismember today.

You could unearth the evoke cost if you need spot removal for 1 after its been used the first time. You could animate dead for 2 if you used evoke first time and get evoke and creature removal for 2. This can be used to great effect. To bad my friends like to all play black.

love this card in my mimic vat deck. cast it for its evoke cost and hes all cozy in the vat on the cheap. proceed to demicate.

Fantastic card. If you are looking at this thinking it is overcosted, remember that although it's ability isn't as good as say Doom Blade...this comes with a nifty little 3/2 creature as well. Not to mention in a pinch you can cast it early on as at {1}{B} as a kill spell at sorcery speed. As a removal card on it's own, it is not as good as Dismember and similar cards. The 3/2 creature it comes attached to combined with the flexible evoke cost are what make this card shine.

Abuse it with Grave Pact all day every day.

This is great , i like evoke you got a spell that is a creature and there are many way to come back creatures instead of a little for spell !

Acidic Slime! Love these in my deck.

Intimidate + creature removal + 3/2 creature + 1 quick cast = all sorts of options and reasons to play this.

Roaring Primadox + Shriekmaw + Acidic Slime = remove one permanent per round.

this + Cloudshift => : double Terror and you keep the creature
this + Undying Evil => : double Terror and you keep the creature with +1/+1 counter

A very solid uncommon. Flexible, Removal, and 3 powered Evasion, what more can you want?

The first time i saw someone use a blink to get around the evoke sacrifice, I thought it seemed a little fishy, but i let it pass. If you review the rules, specifically 702.72a, it's very clear that the sacrifice is PART of the casting cost, not a triggered effect. Failure to sacrifice the creature makes the evoke fizzle and the creature goes to the graveyard. It doesn't matter if the creature leaves the battlefield, it still must be sacrificed to fulfill the evoke cost. Any judge that misses this obviously hasn't read the rules closely enough.

Oblivax - " If you review the rules, specifically 702.72a, it's very clear that the sacrifice is PART of the casting cost, not a triggered effect. Failure to sacrifice the creature makes the evoke fizzle and the creature goes to the graveyard. "

Comp Rules 702.72a - "When this permanent enters the battlefield, if its evoke cost was paid, its controller sacrifices it."

It's a triggered ability that triggers if the evoke cost was paid, so 1) it triggers at the same time as the "ETB, terror" ability, but they are separate abilities and have no effect on each other's resolving, and 2) if a creature leaves play and comes back, it is treated as a new object. The sacrifice doesn't apply because it's not the same creature any more. The "sacrifice this" trigger still resolves, but the permanent it applies to no longer exists, so it does nothing. Check rule 400.7 for more details, and to find out what the exceptions actually are.

Go ahead! Keep printing him! I'll just.. Keep using him!

He seems good at first glance but for me he was always just a Terror.
Not that great.

i abuse this guy so badly with Havengul Lich. i can cast him repeatedly for his evoke cost over and over, terror-ing their battlefield multiple times for 11B each cast. it's truly a terrifying combo, even more so with Heartless Summoning. then you can terror for 1B repeatedly.

I love this guy. He's great in decks that just bleed you out with raw value, like Mimeoplasm or other reanimator-esque decks.

It feels good to have Mimeoplasm be an 8/7 Fear that Terrors on ETB

Course he could also be a 10/10 flying infect creature with B for haste and BB for regenerate, but that's when you don't need to kill stuff.

The real special thing about this card is that you don't have to tell someone what you're going to target until after it resolves, and I've found that a surprising amount of players (at least in my playgroup) are less likely to counter things if they don't know what it's going to do.
