After thinking about it for a bit.... mono-black after rotation is going to want heartless summoning, especially with this set. It just makes all these buff demons playable and getting -1/-1 on a lot of them really doesn't hurt them that much. Gristlebrand becomes a 6 drop and a 6/6, Harvester of Souls becomes a 4 drop and 4/4, Demonic Taskmaster becomes a 1 drop and 3/2, and Demonlord of Ashmouth becomes a 2 drop and 4/3. Now I know some of the listed above require sacrifices, but if we get some 2/2 or 3/3 recursion creatures (apart from the messenger we already have) a demon heartless summoning aggro deck might be possible.
haha we haven't delved far enough into white yet but right now things aren't looking to great on the plane. Great card though, Mono-Black control could be awesome.

If you're gonna come at the King, you'd best not miss.
...aside from that I'm not all that impressed. Guess dropping six for a 5/5 with additional abilities is going to be the norm when titans rotate out, anyway. Reminds me of Geralf's Mindcrusher, in a weird way.
Makes dismember cantrip. Makes doom blade cantrip. Males go for the throat cantrip. This card is actually decent given the sheer amount of spot removal black has access to. The turn after you play it you will likely draw 2-4 cards, which is madness.
There is a reason removal spells rarely cantrip. If they do, they become two for ones. That is value. This card has an actual shot at being a serious contender.

Lycanthropy Awareness Day.
Hoping for a cure, or at least an outbreak.
The art is a little meh, but that effect is quite relevent. I have to agree that it does pale to grave titan, but i do look forward to a standard where the titans dont exist. Maybe ill even play it.
But this card is perfect for my Kaervek the Ass-hat EDH deck.

I fear I won't have much time to play Magic these days.
I get to watch worlds develop around me.
I get to watch great leaders, terrible oppressors, and trend setters rise and fall.
Limited, Standard, Modern, everything is a different playing field I feel I can observe, but will not actually touch.
I look forward to the stories I will hear.
And more so to the ones I will watch unfold first hand.
Isn't the unknown exciting?
so now kaalia has both playable angels and demons. now for the last piece: please please just print some good playable dragons, not just the required one per set.
Since when have demons gotten card draw? It's a good theme to have, that's for sure. There has to be some combo hacks here. Maybe a Heartless Summoning build?? I'm going to try it.

how about:
4RR
Creature-Dragon
flying
Whenever this creature attacks, it deals damage equal to the highest cmc of creatures the defending player controls to that player and all creatures he/she controls.
5/5
I do wish soul harvester could trigger from tokens. My new edh jund sac deck would love it.

After the Oct 2012 rotation....could be a very good black creature.
Unfortunately for right now....he is inferior to grave titan on all levels for the 6cc slot.
This. A thousand times this.

More like Light and Shadow but still nice catch..! I wish it could be in the set, as it fits somehow the theme!

Why ?
With all the crazy token decks, this would be crazy nice to draw tons of cards ; even use your own tokens for giant profit.
With "non-token" it hurts me, could be so much more fun and just another proof that some words in magic are just annoying ...

Harvester of Souls --> Cast Hellfire --> Draw tons
Ugh. Got a little too excited. Considerably less excited now that I realize that (1) the card isn't nearly as good and (2) I'm an idiot.
Why Wizards !?? ARGH !
