Just wanted to see what people thought of the card in the current meta. I know it'll have some sort of impact post rotation but want to see what people are thinking of it now.
Personally I think it has alot of potential. Especially in a jind monsters sideboard
I think it could be a 4 of if MBD survives rotation, without Devour Flesh gods become a lot harder to answer. Ultimate Price gods away too. It's main attraction is that it hits gods, which Jund has better answers to in Green IMO.
It's not a SB card for the current Jund Monsters set up (we want to be applying pressure, not playing reactively), although, depending on where things go, it could see play in Jund mid-range and control decks post m15.
It's a very, very good card. Due to it's mana cost, it's no more than a 2x in most MDs. It fills a similar slot as Sever the Bloodline did last year, which waned from popularity as Gatecrasha and Dragon's Maze entered the meta.
I think this card is very good depending on how the meta shapes up. In decks looking to go long I can already see this as a one of or a sideboard card. If the avatars make a splash in standard I think this card becomes tier one after ooze rotates.

It's an okay card. It's not a great card. It's certainly a playable card post-rotation when available removal is substantially weaker (at least for now). Just look at the Pro Tour Theros block constructed format to see the value of it.
I would expect that better removal will be made available in M15 or the first set of Khans, but it may nonetheless be played as a 1 or 2-of. It all depends very much on the meta, primarily the speed of the format.
