I was in this big 6 way free-for-all and by the time we were down to 3, I had Kemba, Kha Regent, 2 Auriok Steelshapers, about half a dozen cat tokens, a Basilisk Collar, and this bow. for one mana to equip both equipment, I was in a position to clear both my opponent's fields and win on my next turn. unfortunately, I got Traumatized and Tome Scoured to death before I could get to that next turn. never-the-less, this card has earned my respect and deserves a 4/5 in my book.

@PhagePoker: This + Phage the Untouchable =/= win Phage doesn't have deathtouch or "player deathtouch", she has to deal actual combat damage to creatures and players to kill them. Stick with whispersilk cloak if you want to win with her.

I could be wrong but this makes Infect all the more terrifying.
It's not just you, pretty much anything is better than Rod of Ruin, in fact, nothing at all is better than Rod of Ruin. I would go as far as to say that having Serrated Arrows shoved up your Oblivion Ring would be better than Rod of Ruin.
This is such a great card, goes with anything that has Deathtouch, Wither, Infect or any other "when this creature deals damage" effect. A definate 5/5 for the endless utility of it.

The equip cost is a bit high, but it is offset by the low casting cost, tim ability outside of red, and the beating this already is in a deathtouch deck. As it is, you can still take out two creatures per turn with just two deathtouchers and .

This and a Typhoid Rat = fast ping of death.

Are those green things jutting out of it the arrows, or just beams of light? Does the bow grow it's own arrows? Ezuri's Archers seems to suggest it, since they do not seem to be wearing quivers. And on that card you can see that some of the beams of light are longer and more solidified than the rest. Cool.

First of all 5/5 because this is an amazing card. Second, you know this card is awesome when whenever it touches the battlefield, your opponent says "oh $#!t" and it is the first artifact to be removed I use it in my black deathtouch deck and I love the look on my opponent's face when I know he has a big fattie in his hand but can't cast it because it is just wasted mana. Plus Viridian Claw for extra viridian flavor and 2 deaths when blocking.
Round 1: Typhoid rats Round 2: Longbow + sthing for {B} Round 3: DEATH! Round 4: MORE DEATH!

Sorry, combat damage only.
This + Vedalken Heretic= Draw a card
This + Deadly Recluse / Thornweald Archer= Projected deathtouch
This + Warren Instigator = Play a goblin from your hand without playing its mana cost
This + Hunting Cheetah= search for a forest card
This + Hypnotic Specter= Opponent discards a card randomly
If your deck includes green, then add instill energy to double the effect ^_^

Giving this to anything with deathtouch or infect is so much fun.
Slide everything onto a creature - "Tap: Exile target creature."
Move onto next creature - "Tap: Exile another target creature."
In fact, why stop there? Throw in the Shield of Kaldra and some Darksteel Plates and go to town - don't leave a single creature standing.
