Agreed. The art for this is so... Rakdos.
As for the card itself, I love it. It's super casual, but that's pretty much all I play anyways, so, yeah. Will find a home in a commander deck of mine for sure. With Worldfire, because that's just the kind of deck it would be.

Man, Half-Life would have been such a cool name. I really like the card, and the feeling of "sudden death" and tension it creates as soon as it hits the board. One thing though, the autocard for Searing Spear  in the Return to Rakdos deck is Searing Spear Askari  .

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

the creature quality is different
Gavin, I'll respect you (or anyone in R&D with the requisite metaphorical stones) a lot more if you just come out and admit there's been power creep. Aaron Forsythe said as much regarding the Lorwyn era when he announced the banning of Jace and Stoneforge Mystic, and it's well past time that everyone else do so too. Because it's true!

Nice card there Gavin, very elegant! (Hmm... two six mana Enchantments to win, you say? I think a casual Open the Vaults  deck might need building once I get a couple of these!) It's always going to be "Half Life" to everyone in practice, in much the same way as Dark Confidant is "Bob". if you just come out and admit there's been power creep
I'm not quite sure what you're talking about here - R&D have been very open about the fact that they've been deliberately pushing up creature power since at least Onslaught block. So yes, creatures are stronger, but it's not "creep" in the sense of being an accidental side effect of trying to print interesting cards.

Your deck must be green or black. It does not need to be both, and it does not need to be Golgari-themed. (Although it certainly can be!)
Does that mean we're going to see a hybrid card?
