Look at me! I can bold words and use CAPSLOCK to emphasize my point! Hopefully I can trick people into ignoring that I completely have no evidence in my post to back up my claims if I make it look fancy enough.
Decent, I like the Horror, another card built for Multiplayer, but one that may put a target on your head after a while since it hurts everybody. The other is very situational, but a good one for knocking out cheap utility critters like Birds, Hierarch, and the like. Still can't compete with the newer White removal spells.

Infectious Horror is going to be a good pick for limited. Even if it gets blocked it still dropped your opponent 2 life points. If Wretched Banquet had been an instant I would have liked it a lot better.
Wretched Banquet, say goodnight Doran? Very situational, and too narrow for Standard when tokens are all over the place, but a cool design nonetheless. May have applications in other constructed formats.
I like the Horror too. He's a little deceptive, he looks like a 2/2 for 4, but he's really a 4/2 for 4 that's half unblockable and gets better in multi-player.
Wretched Banquet wouldn't be able to target pro-black creatures and it would also backfire if your creatures were smaller... but it is a pretty cheap removal and even if both u & ur opponent have a 1/1 out, you can still target his 1/1.
Infectious Horror is also pretty good in limited and already great in multiplayer.
Wretched Banquet: I prefer removal without targeting restrictions like Incinerate, Nameless Inversion and Cruel Edict, but I may find a use for this card yet. C+.
Infectios Horror: I wish this guy had evasion so much. C.

Banquet is.. pretty bad in this format. Though in the end, it's essentially an Innocent Blood that doesn't get around pro black.
I like it.
Host is cool- simple but effective. I don't see why they can't cover cool design space like this instead of printing Hill Giants? There is elegant simple, and stupid simple.
I like the Infection Horror in multiplayer. Wretched Banquest doesn't seem like a black card as black doesn't impose restrictions on its self when destroying creatures.

It doesn't? Terror is doing it for some time now, as do a lot of other black removal cards. Usually it's akin to "non black" or "tapped creature" or something like that. Black usually has a 'catch' in their removal...

I meant when destroying a creature with the lowest power or toughness. It feels like a white card that's black.
The banquet is cute, but kinda meh, but the horror, well I like his ability, it'll fit nicely in my black multiplayer deck, my only concern is thqat 2/2 is abit easily dealt with...
i do think the banquet is a black card, it is like a "hey, lets gang up on the little guy" thing, i never really felt that drop of honey or porphery nodes belonged in green or white.
Infectious Host- a 2/2 for 3B is pretty bad but this is sort of like a 2/2 which becomes a 4/2 when it attacks only better because the extra +2/+0 is dealt in life loss instead and doesn't even require the Host to hit the opponent.
Wretched Banquet- It's removal and as such i'll draft it and i'll run it in sealed. However it's also very weak removal so I won't be too happy about it. Still it's good at destroying those annoying Guardians of Akrasa.
Just going to note that if you play Banquet, targeting a guy, and the guy with lowest power changes (Agony Warp or something) it won't change the target of the spell to that, it will just fizzle the spell, so you won't get completely punched in the face.
I like banquet a lot I think this is the type of one mana removal like say Innocent Blood that gets underrated at first then finds a lot of niches.
Darkblast was played and in a deck without many creatures or only big finishers this is just as good if not better. No dredge obviously knocks it down a slot but at least this thing can kill a ton of different creatures.
I like how it kills Doran in nearly every situation. Those comparing it to Terror need to realize its one mana like I have mentioned before you can't compare a 2 mana card to a 1 mana card.
Otherwise you say stuff like why isn't Isamaru as strong as Watchwolf?
Removal is always good in limited unless extremely restrictive. For one mana you don't get much better removal then this unless your talking best removal ever type cards.
If this thing cost 2+ it would suck in constructed but still even be playable in limited. Compare this thing to Topple the inverse of it its quite good.

Also, what if the creature has Pro-Black?
Would be a much better card if it says Destroy the creature with the lowest power that target player controls.
Oh well, might be fun in limited.

Machius proudly supports R_E's right to Rumour!
infectious horror seems strong. it's like it's a murk dwellers but it always hits for 2 hehe
it could've used more toughness like 5 though
banquet... will you play it over terror? not likely. when you need to cast a kill spell, it wont likely be wasted to a weakling threat.
