I think this card is a lot better than it looks. But maybe it just looks a lot better than I think.
I'd run it in EDH without a second thought, people would hate that
Well, I think i'll end up trying to make something with him, Heartless Summoning and that R ritual for RRR would help to get him out on turn 3 i'd think...
Seems decent, especially against control

WOW! This guy has such a target painted on him at the EDH table. If you can get him to live till your end step everyone else officially hates you. Less awesome in more competitive formats, but might see some play vs. Sphinx's Revelation strategies.

FANTASTIC! I love when I get new toys for Tariel, the Terrible to enjoy. I also love giving the big middle finger to consecrated sphinx, and global discard, and demon-pig things. This card is great.
I can't stress enough my emotions for this card, because i feel like the internet carries too much inherent sarcasm, and instead I just want several copies of this card to throw at people angrily.

So I'm reading this right, right? He triggers the turn you play him for everyone? I would have surely thought they'd print this guy with the stipulation that each player discards only at the end of his turn. This seems really strong.
No. Everyone discards his/her hand at the beginning of every end step. Not just the turn you play him. EVERY end step. That's really strong, especially if you have a way to recoup your losses (Blood Scrivener, etc), because your opponents are all in topdeck mode.

Tho he is strong and may see play, if scrivener takes off, even in standard.
I'd play that ALL DAY in Thalia. Get Thalia + One more dude + Sire, just start bashing they're face in. Hopefully you've forced em into top deck mode and you can just keep bashing them over the head for at least 11 damage each turn.
Not to mention if you had Reya Dawnbringer on the board, oh lawd.
At six mana, he is not an aggro card, and midrange is unlikely. Control wouldn't want him, and combo has no use for him. They should have made him a four mana 2/2, but maybe they don't want him to be playable? I'd certainly want to hit my opponent square in the jaw for playing this kind of card.

B aggro's big issue cards are Sphinx's Revelation, Thraggtusk and Angel of Serenity. With either reanimator spells or rituals, he comes into play turn 4 and ****s it up big time if he's not answered on the spot.
Every answer me or loose card, is a good card.

Yes sir, I take fantasy art and character design commissions, PM me for rates.
I'm really impressed with this card. Flashback is still in the format, as is Scavenge. And Cavern makes this guy uncounterable? Definitely seems strong and constructed playable.
I think this card would clearly be too good if it were four mana--punishing your opponent for tapping out for a wrath by making them discard their hand and then having a 5 power guy in play seems kind of like it would be a problem.
Does Wizards just not want people to play control anymore? Between this guy and Ruric Thar, I think I'm just gonna avoid playing control for a while...

More like Olivia/Tariel/Sedris. Kaalia actually likes her hand.
Entomb-Reanimate as soon as turn 2 that's nice and broken.
