Strictly a first turn drop, and easily a dead card if you don't get it out immediately. Even when you do, I'm not sure if I'd rather not just use Carnophage as an eco first turn drop. That is, of course for us normal folk who can't afford Sarcomancy and the like; the real 2/2s for B.

For now, I'll stick to Vise/Ritual/Duress/Consultation/Festering Goblin.

This black jackal pup was used pretty frequently when Torment was standard. It was fodder for cards like innocent blood or cabal therapy while still providing some pressure early on. It also halted a bit of progress of UG madness/psychatog whose circular logic was often reduced to a mere force spike by this card early in the game.

A good body, low cost, and has great synergy with Nezumi Graverobber
