This will be a great card in RTR block Limited. I hope my secret guild is Rakdos and I pull at least one of these.

Good in mutiples and funny with Rix Maadi Guildmage. Seems like a great Rakdos card.

What?! A skeleton that doesn't completely suck?

I accept your apology for Rakdos Ringleader

Kind of like Hellrider's effect turned inside-out.

I'm sure at least a few people will lose games when they don't realize this effect applies to them, also. Still a neat card, but be careful of killing yourself.

Awesome name, awesome abilities, awesome flavor, awesome typing, awesome art.


Rakdos has been winning the Flavor Trophy for RTR pretty hard.


And no RB player actually blocks, meaning the only 'drawback' this guy has is that he lacks Haste.
But there's solutions for that.

Solid 5/5 for flavor and having a fun way of dealing with the chump block problem.

Skeleton Tribal! :D

And Obzedat won the Flavor contest Tybaltic. Actually, I'd say All the Black Guilds have been doing a great job on Flavor. Huh. So City Flavor means Black-but-Gold. Lol :3 I mean it's not so much that the other guilds aren't flavorful, so much as the other guilds could be one of few different levels of Urbanization (Azorius in particular could be any small town large enough to have Sheriffs and A Court with A Judge, flavorwise) but the Rakdos, Golgari, and Dimir in particular can ONLY make sense in a City large enough where not all Crime is brought to Justice and there is a stinking huge amount of coin to be made in the Business of Evil. :)

It's not the Rakdos card we wanted, but it's the Rakdos card we deserved. After Hellbent AND Unleash, they better be preparing to give us better R/B cards like this for next ten sets.

It's alright, though the regeneration ability is a bit expensive.

Feels like he deserves the Golem subtype with that art

SO MUCH SKELETON LOVE IN THIS BLOCK!!!....ahem...

Rather exciting card actually. An attacking body with extra damage tacked on that, if played correctly, should never really affect you. AND it can regenerate itself to force prolonged damage over time.

Solid ability in a deck that mostly attacks. 3.5/5

One of those cards with a name that should be considered to get assumed by a metal band.

I defy you to play this card and not have this theme song playing in your head:

A great way to deal damage through an opponent's barricade of walls that would other wise just bounce away attackers.

This thing is an abomination. I love it.

As someone who owns both this card and Hundred-Handed One, I have mixed feelings about the "block multiple creatures" thing only triggering once.

As someone who owns Pathrazer of Ulamog, on the other hand, I love it.
