The orb with butterflies in it in the top right corner can be seen in the card Zuran Enchanter

Only good against white, but at 2B, it can be a total gamewinner. If you can get one down on turn 3 and 4...nothing the opponent can do.

bouchart i am guessing you have a photographic memory :)

Ow, my balls. Black should loosen that tight grip on my White-playing balls.

A more evolverd form of Oddish

Yeah! Love anti-white , it's so deliciously black.

5'd for my hatred of White.

"Only good against white"

NO, REALLY!?

Terrible card (because it's so stupidly broke) but I love it, because it's anti-white. I hate white. D:<

I love how not only does it make their spells cost more, the stupid circles of protection get specifically spited as well.

Got it once on turn one with a Dark Ritual, won the game, byt the time the other had the opportunity to play any weenie, he was to wait turn 4. strong! in in an deck, put in some sleight of minds to add insult to injury

@KnightofAlara Thanks for the lulz.

This card has seen so much play over the years, professional and casual tournaments as a side board!Usually the first or second pick for anti-white sideboard back in the day!Definitely a 4.5 as far as sideboards go, even if only a 1.5 star card as a staple card in a deck.Making it an average 3 star card overall! The best tournament I ever saw was some guy who had built a deck around when IceAge first came out. I don't remeber the build, but he decided to exploit Power Sink effects in a Black/Blue. I remember Homelands was allowed in that Tourney, and the spread he had out was sick! 3 Glooms, an Irini Sengir, a few Mole Worms tapping out land, a Koskun Falls, a couple of Seizures on the few creatures that made it into play, an Icy manipulator, then for the kill a couple Norrit on the table poised to untap his small army of Prodigal Sorcerer and Zuran Spellcaster's he had in play. Not to mention the Power Sink's he seemed to always draw to add insult to injury! Talk about a tournament to rember. He placed second, he lost to a mono red burn deck, but still! Gloom as a sideboard against the many white decks made the difference for sure!

You guys are so unoriginal, I use this is my green control deck to deal with blue aggro. Why is everyone talking about white?

I'm getting a real Castlevania vibe from this card.
It's too bad there isn't a red version that does the same thing; I could use a bit of white hosing on my end of the spectrum.

I love how all the comments on cards like Karma , Drought or
Light of Day are like wow this card is a great combo with Magical Hack or hmmm I thought they stooped reprinting color hate this powerful or then there are others just commenting about just how much it hurts black but here ever one is like I hate white D:<

wait . . WHAT? This is almost too ridiculous . .
4.5/5

@darcider:

No, he just used the link on Zuran Enchanter. Which he wrote.

White-playing balls? I was unaware white players had any. GRIXIS FTW B*TCHESZZZZZZZZ

:(

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV hates being gloomy.

Hmmmmm, looks like you almost have enough mana to destroy my gloom. I think i'll play another.
