It's a damn shame this guy comes out too late to be able to stop the vast majority of <2 toughness creatures that would actually need to be killed. At least he can always squish Deadly Recluse or something.

A bit expensive, but still decent.

This is absolute shit of a card. It's a SEVEN MANA 4/4 with an ability that's worse than an ETB Shock. Just terrible. I don't even think I'd play this in limited.
Limited filler, waaaay to much mana for anything else. Dangit R&D and your addictive ink. It has to be addictive ink, why else would I buy boosters with stuff like this?

I like the idea and art and such. But seven mana is just far too late, and a 4/4 body for the seven mana is underwhelming too.
@MrShinyObject: There is a difference between creatures being hit with "damage" and "destroy" effects. A card or effect reduces damage by a certain amount, it's not going to stop it from being destroyed by anything else. For example, red removal effects typically deal X number of damage, while black removal will work in spite of total toughness (as long as the creature is a valid target).

Man. Another awesome art wasted something that will never see the light of play. I'll give it credit for being one of red's few direct creature destroyers. That would probably explain the cost, but it unfortunately kills the playability. If this thing costed even {4}{R}{R}, I would like it so much more. It still wouldn't be great, but then I could justify myself playing with it, if only because it looks cool. But 7!? Hell no. Moving on.

Would have been cool as a 3/3 for . It still wouldn't see play in Constructed, but it would at least be a little better in Limited.

I just don't get it when they make cards like this.
It could so easily be a fun, fairly balanced, and somewhat unique card - a decent uncommon great for both limited and casual play... but instead it gets completely nerfed. It could've been any of the following and been quite cool without ruining limited game play in any way: * one mana less * 6/6 * creature with toughness 3 or less
So I just want to get what Psychichobo said out there again "Pity, he does begin to edge into interesting territory..."

Hi there, Kaijudo mechanic!
Seriously, this is how they implement burn in Kaijudo, so that people don't have to track damage on their creatures.

Makes you realze once more how awesome Flametongue Kavu is.
Is there a difference?
Should've been 5cmc. Possibly passable at 6cmc with a toughness 3 restriction. Pity, he does begin to edge into interesting territory...
