An amazing card, especially if you're playing control

Quite a useful card, especially if you're running some type of control and in multiplayer games. Use it in conjunction with cards like Ascendant Evincar and Infest, and you'll pretty much have control of the entire battlefield.

I don't get why this is so good compared to infest

@powerdude:

This is a PERMANENT. It's an infest that stays on the field until someone finds a way of getting rid of it, and it basically hoses white weenie, while substantially reducing the offensive power of other decks.

This + Humility + say honor of the pure = win

Since Kamigawa is about to be shifted out of Extended, there's an excellent opportunity to play this with Humility in Legacy; for a permanent Day of Judgment that avoids annoying things like Indestructable or can't be targeted due to protection.

I'd love to run this in a black white green deck with Humility, and Invigorating Falls.

Try it with Godhead of Awe, and suddenly the board is yours.

I wanna make a deck with this, Godhead of Awe and a lot of counterpells...

The flavour text on this card is epic. It really evokes a sense of desperation from Sensei Hisoka, begging Konda to put an end to his crazy ambitions.

This isn't the only letter that Hisoka wrote, either - see also Unnatural Speed and Hero's Demise.

this is AWESOME I could think of some combos for this that would seriously massacre my opponents!

and no massacre isn't one of them I was just being clever.
too bad it's legendary...
this + reassembling skeleton + grave pact = reusable diabolic edict

I understand that a lot of people don't like Kamigawa, but the flavour of the set was amazing. This card's flavour text is simply amazing.

strictly worse than Curse of death's hold . not only can you actually have more than one on the field, it effects only your opponent

@FailMarcus Ignoring the fact that it costs 1 less which is enough to say you are wrong, it also effects all your opponents in multiplier games, can be found with legendary search cards like Time of Need and Captain Sisay. Also you can use the -1/1- on your creatures to make combos like supershawn did... 3 years ago. I do not believe you know what strictly worse means.

EDIT: Almost forgot you have to be able to target the other player with the other spell. I am sure I am missing more things but this seemed like a good start.
