So, how would I use a card that has a large  in the top half and "sui?l? -- pu?? ?is?q" across the middle?
Winning is not important if:
1. You win by a blowout.
2. You pay billions of dollars in cards to win. If you like wasting money just to win one game, while you could have saved it to lose a few and end up winning more in the future, then it is fine by me.
what?
do you ceremonially light your deck on fire after a win?
Or did no one notice Transmogrifying Licid  before. (And by not notice, I mean covered their ears and shouted LA LA LA LA  )
Hmmm...
I think the most awkward situation at the moment is simply the Myr Welder / Equipment / Licid / Aura craziness, but I'm pretty sure he's aware of it.
If the most awkward thing going on right now involves Licids, I declare victory.

Mage is awesome, BTW.
Dear Mage24365,
You are totally awesome. Thank you so much. I hope you are able to dine in Paradise without kicking the bucket to actually get there, and that every dollar you ever make magically becomes two more.
I don't think there are any cards like that.
There are things that prevent you from activating activated abilities, things that increase their cost, and things that counter them, but I don't think anything triggers from them specifically.
There are things that trigger from targeting, so that might be relevant, but I can't think of anything that triggers from targeting a player.
I'm almost positive there's nothing that triggers from damage being prevented.
Rings of Brighthearth  ; Dormant Gomazoa  ; Samite Ministration  .
Well played.

The demon doesn't qualify, Pirate, because you don't have to start popping humans when you want to, and it's a 9/9 with three evasion abilities. Force of Nature  does, though. One Armageddon  and you're taking 8 each turn. Erhnam Djinn  can very easily. Especially if your opponent's playing infect. Skyshroud Behemoth  's not so masochistic, but his fading and lack of any sort of evasion ability or even pseudo-evasive abilities like trample makes him fairly weak. These days, he's chow for Kresh the Bloodbraided  or The Mimeoplasm  more than anything. Rakdos, Lord of Riots  comes to mind, especially in multiplayer. Phyrexian Negator  goes to show the best way to deal with card disadvantage is more card disadvantage  . Lord of the Pit  and Yawgmoth Demon  were some of black's first.
Clever deduction Watson! Maybe you can explain why Supergirl is trying to kill me.

Phyrexian Negator goes to show the best way to deal with card disadvantage is more card disadvantage .
Lord of the Pit and Yawgmoth Demon were some of black's first.
I think Archdemon of Greed  counts, because it is a 9/9 for five mana with a drawback that hurts you. You choose to transform it just like you choose to cast Leveler .
Erhnam Djinn , Lord of the Pit , and Yawgmoth Demon are not big creatures for cheap. They are big, but they cost a lot of mana.
I do not think Skyshroud Behemoth counts, because its drawback does not hurt you. It just makes the creature weaker.
Rakdos, Lord of Riots is all upside, so I do not know what you mean with him.

I think most of the big ones have been covered. Let me see if I can fill in some of the remaining holes: There's also Iwamori of the Open Fist  to add to the Tempting Wurm  and Hunted Wumpus  stack. PirateAmmo missed two of the Hunted creatures: Hunted Dragon  and Hunted Lammasu  . For a more recent card there's Treacherous Pit-Dweller  . Demonlord of Ashmouth  is another Undying creature with a drawback, but it's considerably easier to work around. (And potentially much more powerful) The Avatar of Discord  certainly requires quite a price to keep around. Ruinous Minotaur  is fun because it's totally drawback free... Until you actually connect. For cards that start small you have the Hatchling  cycle of enemy pair 6/6s that start as 2/2s until you play enough spells. Canker Abomination  is another 4 mana 6/6 that has the drawback of being smaller for each creature the opponent has. Desecration Demon  is another 4 mana 6/6 that can be stopped from ever even attacking by the sacrifice of a measly Arbor Elf  . Goblin Goon  and Grinning Demon  are other 4 mana 6/6s with drawbacks of relatively minor severity. Mijae Djinn  is a creature that is purely luck based in its drawback, which tends to be harder to work around. If you're running a goblin deck, Stenchskipper  may not have much of a drawback at all for you. Pangosaur  is fun, but good luck keeping it in play until late game. Argothian Wurm  and its timeshifted cousin Shivan Wumpus  are both cards you may find yourself casting over and over again before they finally stick. Personally I'm a fan of Dust Elemental  which works wonders as a combat trick until you can get the necessary manpower to send it in permanently. The Shah of Naar Isle  and Volcano Hellion  are both fun, but keeping them around long enough to attack can be costly. Not really nasty, but Deep-Slumber Titan  fits the bill of cheap-but-huge creatures with a drawback. Ruhan of the Fomori  doesn't even have a drawback in a two player game, but IS huge. Woolly Razorback  doesn't have a painful drawback to you, but it does have one nonetheless. There's also a bunch of 1 mana 3 power guys with drawbacks like Scythe Tiger  and Rogue Elephant  and Circling Vultures  and Kjeldoran Dead  and Slumbering Dragon  and Sleeper Agent  . ... Turns out there were more creatures than I thought that fit your criteria. As for how I dredged up this list? I searched for creatures in Gatherer with CMC 4 or less and sort from greatest power to least and worked my way down the list.

I meant Rakdos the Defiler  : "Pop half your permanents to attack" is a pretty bad downside.
