In before everyone ever says "Good in EDH" and acts like that's an excuse for this miserable card.
If everything is good in EDH, doesn't that mean nothing is good in EDH?

Was excited by the name while afraid that I'd be let down again like leyline phantom. I absolutely love him and the art is just icing on the cake. In standard in addition to Rites we'll also have the ability to turn 4-turn 5 ramp out this guy or Griselbrand thanks to Crypt Ghast. Awesome.

Not everything is good in edh, lightning bolt isn't in edh, nor is tarmogoyf, abrupt decay, goblin guide, or other cheap and efficent cards good in normal constructed. Cards that are efficient and good in normal constructed arent necessarily good in edh while cards that are powerful but costly are more likely to be good.

The reason you see "Good in EDH" a lot is because lots of people don't understand the EDH format very well, and assume that anything with a casting cost too high for constructed competitive must be good in EDH.
This guy, though, is definitely good in EDH - very few black creatures besides Grave Titan or Rune-Scarred Demon are comparable to this beast.

I was using hyperbole. Every stupid creature that costs 6+ mana and does some overcosted and conditional effect is heralded by at least 6 "Right into my EDH deck!" comments.
And no, not everything has to be standard playable, but outside-of-EDH playable would be nice. I like commons/uncommons you get to see in draft even if they're not standard playble. I love voidweilder, for instance. This, however, is the kind of card that will very rarely ruin a limited game and other than that will ONLY see play in EDH. It's frustrating how mythics are either OMGWTFBBQ $20 cards or just stone-cold unplayable . No one wants to open mythics that are just unplayable, you feel shafted every time. At least I get excited about revelation type stuff even if it shouldn't be mythic.
Mythic rarity was such a great idea.

I agree with you here. Being an EDH player Mythics are usually exciting for me as they are nearly universally playable (with some exceptions .) If you aren't into EDH Mythics are the rollercoaster of which you speak.

It's really only because EDH is a very popular singleton format. Since most players probably don't own complete sets of the vast majority of expansions, nearly every costly card is good for someone in EDH, because they can probably replace a worse card they have with the new one. Even though, in a truly competitive, mind-blowing, extremely well-tuned EDH deck, most of those cards aren't actually very good.
Couple all that with the facts that the EDH overseers willfully attempt to have EDH *not* devolve into the kind of format dominated by those decks, keep most of the format multiplayer, and EDH isn't terribly competitive right now, and you have a recipe for almost every card that's bad in standard to be good for a lot more people in EDH.
So, yeah -- standard is going to get like twenty-ish or so competitive cards from a new large set (because I guess Wizards just doesn't want to actually keep all the new card designs relatively close to each other in the power curve), but EDH is going to get like 70+.

yayay a big fat fattie for black with fun ability, I only wish it had trample that would make him really good, can't wait to hit my enemy then use their own angel of serenity against them.

You know, joking aside this is actually pretty baller in EDH, thanks to a certain five letter word that says "Have fun running 112 recursion cards in a 99 card deck, every EDH deck ever."

Are there any Timmies on FCaSS or is the whole subforum about arguments between spikes who play standard and spikes who play commander? THIS CARD IS AWESOME

I'm pretty sure foruming about magic is a pretty spike environment in general.

I'm a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong; I like the card well enough. But I thought it was going to be have a lord ability based on the name. I like playing standard tribal decks (just recently started playtesting a bird tribal that's performing pretty well). so the lack of static pump makes me sad.

Love it. Goes into my Kaalia EDH deck and could also sneak into some reanimator stuff.
Also with so many "just play the best creatures" midrange decks going around, this thing will probably land you something decent.

Calling spot removal "pointless" is pretty bold, and most likely incorrect.
I wouldn't say it's pointless, but when a Reaper King deck in full swing can't keep up with the ridonkulonkulous levels of recursion everybody runs, spending a deck slot on Murder can feel pretty silly.

The only spot removal I run in EDH nowadays is stuff that doesn't "destroy" -- too much Forge and Avacyn -- Banishing and Swords are okay, as is Tragic Slip. It's few and far between, though, and it needs to be able to take care of most of the threats.
Most of the rest of the spot removal is pretty crap.

Phthisis?... I haven't thought of that card since last I recommended a new edh player take it out of their deck...
I like this guy... might be better than nefarox or nightmare in edh... but I'm not excited.

He's part of Black. Not every citizen, or monster, is part of a guild.
Well, he seems to be in a leadership position and has a lot of followers. Rakdos would make sense because he's a demon, and Dimir would make sense because he mills.

He doesn't fit the aesthetics of either of those guilds, and while his ability does indeed fit the Dimir, they do not employ demons, let alone ones that command armies. That is incredibly un-Dimir. As for Rakdos, it's possible, but as far as I know the only demon with a leadership position amongst the Rakdos is Rakdos himself so it seems unlikely.

Standard 'big dumb creature too overcosted to see play' card. Seems like the density of these kind of cards is higher in GTC than usual, what's up with that?

Gearing up for DGM. Because any good Labyrinth needs monsters.

Dimir for the Library hate, Rakdos for the Creature stealing.
Though seeing rakdos go for aggro, this might be more a dimir strategy... I mean, stolen identity-able and clonable. Why not? Reanimate this with 5 mana and spend 4 or so to make more of them. Make a damned house of Lords while we're at it. =D
