Awesome new art for what I consider to be a card deserving of quite a few buffs. Wouldn't hate to see a reprint in Theros block for drafting purposes.

I like seeing these sacrifice effects spread out to Red as well as Black and Artifact.

Probably nothing will ever top Ashnod's Altar and Altar of Dementia for both flavor and power, but it's the thought that counts. :)

Interesting reprint.

Definitely has its uses with the right support.

So it's like Goblin Bombardment except a lot more expensive. Perhaps they should have called this 'Blood Wrongs' instead, eh?

in comparison, Barrage of Expendables is a Red-cost enchantment that only costs Red to activate it. The only difference is dealing 1 damage versus 2. I mean, dealing 2 damage at the cost of one sac'ed creature is better than 1, but all of these additional costs add up. That being said, Barrage isn't as good as Goblin Bombardment.

Regardless, the art is beyond awesome and gruesome. You don't see something as visceral as this every day.

I understand it's more in-theme, but warstorm surge from the naya deck will do a better job.
Besides being much much cheaper and although the surge will do nothing with the kobolds which are a center piece, it will still activate for every other creature and when you summon Prossh you can imediately sac all the kobolds to it and deal commander damage on the go.
