I love this card. The madness cost of one is what makes it great. You don't want madness costs to be that high, and this perfectly illustrates a great madness card.

Strictly better than Unholy Strength.

Suddenly that Nantuko Shade has broken out of Kirtar's Desire and is smashing unblockably and untargetably for 4+.

A unique approach to the aura disadvantage problem that is two pronged: If discarded it can be cast without costing you a card, AND if your creature is incapacitated by Pacifism or the like this removes it, putting you up a card that way. Put the two together in the right deck and you've got a solid chance of getting your buff on the cheap

T1 Play Swamp Cast Dark Ritual Now you have {B}{B}{B} in your Mana Pool {B} Goes to Putrid Imp, who discards a fatty {B} Goes to Reanimate, targeting that fatty
But where does that last {B} go? It pays for the Imps discarded Strength of Madness.
The best part about madness, though, is that it is instant speed. If you have a discard outlet this can be played for {B} as though it had flash, which turns it into a very nasty instant speed combat trick or method to fizzle their removal.
