A generic artifact creature, overcosted...the only redeeming thing about this card is the flavor text...

Artwork is so ugly! I agree that it is overcosted, and that the flavor text is somewhat amusing.

Was this worth it back in the day? It's basically the reverse of Craw Wurm.

I think the artwork is alright, especially for a card back then from Alpha.
It provides a somewhat sinister atmosphere and suits to the power and toughness. I like the flavor of it.
And this artwork was used in every printing up to Classic Sixth Edition, which should actually proof that it wasn't that bad.

For an artifact creature, it's actually undercosted, not overcosted. 4/4s usually cost 6. You'll find two 4/5s that cost 7! You'll find 3/5s for 6! 4/6 would normally cost at least 7.

I used to use this guy. How else could you kill a Juggernaut without losing your own creature?

*** *** *** it annoys me that you can't autocard this because of the butthole in the cardname.

I first started playing during unlimited edition, and these guys were actually pretty good back then. of course compared to today's cards they're pretty much worthless.
