6 cost for a 3/4 with fear you have to pay for & discard a card? And why this is rare is because.....?

THis is not the card fear came from, Fear is the card Fear came from...
it's not rare either, It's uncommon...
Yes the card itself is lame.

There are some creatures that just seem like they were designed by someone from space. What the hell happened to this guy before he was printed? I mean I know WotC thinks they 'have' to print bad cards which are just a waste of cardboard, but seriously? 3/4 for 6 that can have fear for the low cost of 3 mana and a discard?
I usually don't allow myself to give 0.5 for cards that actually do stuff (and can potentially therefore be useful) but I think this deserves 0.5.

No, Braids. Certainly not your best best work. That goes for you, too, Wizards.
At least the art is pretty cool.

If it were {3}{B} with built-in fear, it would actually be OK.
Frightened five people to death? Why would it frighten anybody to death? Or frighten people at all?

"OMG! THE USED A 6 COST 3/4 CREATURE THAT NEEDS AN ADDITIONAL PAYMENT OF HALF ITS MANA AND AN ADDITIONAL DISCARD TO GAIN AN MODERATELY USEFUL ABILITY FOR A TURN!" *Dies of shock*
And that's how it frightened those 5 people to death. They could not handle the insanity

The face of fear only has fear sometimes? What is this madness?

ALMOST has Fear! To be honest Braids, I don't think this was your best either.

The creature type is surely correct: it's horrible!

The flavor text is hilarious. It's like it was going to press the next day and they realized how abysmal it was and a guy said:
"Quick make some funny self-depreciating flavor text that kinda breaks the fourth wall and at least people will laugh at it."

Some cards make you wonder whether finding a joker card in your booster would be less insulting than actually designing a card to be totally unplayable...

Why yes, it is madness *points to discard*

Even if this gut had static fear all the time it would still suck. Too overcosted.
0.5/5 for actual value, +0.5 for flavor text. 1/5.

I suppose you could use this to have some sort of discard engine in reanimation, but what's wrong with Putrid Imp? While I'm at it, I'll make a pros/cons chart between these two:
Face of Fear:
PRO - Power and Toughness are better - Offensively, Fear is better than Flying
CON - Lower Rarity - CMC is cheaper - Discarding is free - Defensively, Flying is better than Fear - Has Threshold - Is a Zombie Imp, a better creature type than Horror
Do I need to go any further? This is a... 'putrid' card (HAHAHAHA GET IT?!)

The message I got from this card: Very few can face their fear, but in order to face their fear, they must gain fear while looking in a mirror. . .

Strictly worse than... well, damn near everything. Interesting to note: At this time, the two lowest-rated creatures on Gatherer both cost — this and Bog Hoodlums.

Two observations:
1) The "I admit it, this is terrible" flavor text almost made me give it 1/5. Almost.
2) Who woulda thought that a terrible, overcosted card would have come out of Odyssey?

Face of Fear, we meet again. You tend to bum around in the worst cards in the game area, along with your buddies Bog Hoodlums, Aven Trooper, and the king of the bottom, Razor Boomerang.
Honestly, I rated you a 1 rather than a .5, because he's not so terrible he can't block weenies. He won't block anything useful by the time you play him, and his evasion is less likely to be effective than winning the game through Game of Chance without Krark's Thumb, but at least you can be a discard outlet, even if there are oh so many better choices.
So I'll give you a 1. Because you're still terrible.
