If this cost, I'd consider it. Warping Wurm is just a waste of mana, this can actually hurt you.

i don't understand the balance of the cards in this hound cycle. why do green and white get 2/2 creatures for 2 with often amazing abilities (wild mongrel) and the other colors have absolutely awful drawbacks? (phantom whelp is possibly one of the worst blue creatures ever)

It seems every cycle has a color that is made purposely awful, at least it isn't always the same color though.

Again, though nothing comes to mind, there might be a combo to abuse here. Like triggering something every time you lose life...

You know how they say that any card whose best combo contains Donate by definition sucks? Well, this is one of them.
Another unplayable creature, the worst being Wood Elemental.

You could donate this, or you could Binding Agony your friend's creature. Hmm...

Even if it is filthy, the poor thing is probably a stray. This mechanic "Whenever ~name~ is dealt damage, you lose that much life." could be named Empathy, if Wizards doesn't mind Black having an emotional soft spot, if only in the tragedies of its companions.

Awww... I just wanna give him a big ol' hug and tell him he's not the worst creature out there.
His picture doesn't do him any favors... He accidentally hurts his master whenever he's damaged (I'm sure he doesn't mean to)... Everyone in this commenting section hates him... Even his flavor text hates him.
Poor guy. :'(

If it cost :B::B:, had first strike and was a 4/2. It would be good.

This card is very far from salvageable, however, still plays a very important role, in totally insulting your opponent if you are feeling daring and ***y. One quick fix is Soul Link. Make a deck filled with those, and Filthy Cur(NO I WILL NOT AUTOCARD ON A COMMENT ON SAID CARD!!!,lol). And the likes of Spirit Link, Vampiric Link, Loxodon Warhammer,Noble Purpose, and any cards of the like. With four Filthy Curs,Thrashing Wumpus,Flesh Reaver, or maybe a Juzám Djinn just to be mean, but the real kicker is Treacherous Link to be plastered on your opponents creatures when they start jeering at you for the Filthy Cur! Mwahahaahahahaahahahahaah! Oh yeah the Thrashing Wumpus reminded me of Thrashing Mudspawn, that would work well in this deck theme as well:)

Really? This is what I'd expect from Homelands... Seriously? When was a 2/2 for 2 overpowered?
If you block it, you lose 2 life. And if you don't, you lose 2 life! BEEST COLUMBO EVAR I HAFF BROKEN DA CARDZ

At (1/B) this should have had at least fear or swampwalk or something. I agree it might have been playable for one black. For two black you can have a Black Knight with both first strike and pro-white and no drawbacks, or for a common you could go with Fledgling Djinn that just pings you on upkeep. Even Foul Imp is a better play as you just lose 2 life when it comes out, and it's a flier.

Might as well just make it "Disgusting Mutt cannot block". Same damn thing, really. Except this time you wont lose your stupid dog. AND I WOULD JUST FALL TO PIECES IF I WERE TO EVER LOSE SUCH A FAITHFUL AND DEPENDABLE...THING. WHATEVER IT IS.

If you're looking for an efficient 2 drop in black, there's much better. If you're looking for a way to beat the shit out of yourself, there's much better. 1/5, because he's really bad, but not abysmal.

Use your best John Cleese voice when casting this! FILTHY CUR!!
Sometimes, you'll be digging through your old cards and see a card you once dismissed as bad, and realize it's actually good; other times, you'll see a card you thought was great and you now realize is bad. And then, there are cards that were bad to you then and just as bad to you now. This is one of those cards. Strictly worse than nearly any other 2-drop dork. 0.5/5

Unplayable unless you can keep all your opponent's creatures off the board and prevent it from dying to direct damage. That's asking a lot to protect a junky little creature like this.

Not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Run it in a red/black deck, give him to your opponent with bazaar trader, use lots of burn. If you can, make him indestructible before trading. Lets you get past things like ivory mask or leyline of sanctity yet still use burn.
