No, you sure don't find many old werewolf hunters... in a Greek mythology-themed plane.

Couldn't they redo the flavor on this one?

Prey upon is a simple spell, but extremely power considering what color its under, and its cost.

Especially with a high power/toughness creature, this can equal multiple kills with just one creature. definitely a must in any stomy green deck.

In most cases I'd prefer pit fight simply because it's quite easy to screw with an opponent's blocking plans; hit a creature in response to removal, or other neat tricks.

I.E. "I doom blade your Primeval Titan"
"In response he fights your *insert 4/4+*"

While that may not be optimal in other colors; this isn't bad at all in green. Be very careful when someone can respond to this with a kill spell; netting them a 2-for-1; same with hitting creatures who aren't smaller than what you're fighting with.

Also remember that damage last through the turn; so don't accidentally use this, attack, and lose your fat to a 2/1.
