Me being nitpicky: viruses aren't technically "living things" (but then again, I imagine the phrase "disease-causing bacteria" doesn't have quite the same gravity).

I'd much rather run Sickening Shoal since you can sink excess mana into it to kill a bigger creature (whereas by itself Waste Away will not be able to kill of an 9/9) as well Sickening Shoal is more useful in the early game since it can be used to take out smaller threats, sure paying {1}{B}{B} to kill an X/1 isn't very efficient, but that is usually the tradeoff of {X} spells. The ability to pitch another black card also one-ups Waste Away in that you can pitch when you're backed into a corner, whereas here it's an additional cost meaning that if Waste Away is countered or for whatever reason fizzles, you're still discarding a card.

Eh, it's not the junk that some of these worthless cards are. If somebody was new to the game and using a madness/threshold deck, I wouldn't laugh at them for using it.

Hello, Power Creep Inc.? Yes, we have a Mr. Waste Away here. He's complaining about something like Dismember ?
I can't help but give this card 5 stars for the sheer memory.

Yes, it is possible to make horrible creature kill.
It's as if they increased the casting cost to balance out the "ability" to lose a card from your hand. Now, sure, it enables Madness and such, but still - it is costing you 2 cards and 5 mana to kill a creature. Rather horrible.
