Why, yes, Razaketh is technically more powerful than Griselbrand.
In that he's an 8/8.
Shame they couldn't do anything with the "Blood Magic" he was showing in story. Pay life and Sac a creature to gain control of one, or something like that.
This could be banned in EDH right? I mean you don't have to have haste. This is like an insanely good combo creature, also a reanimator target, 8/8 flying, trample.
Really, really underwhelming. At least it's an 8/8 with flying and trample and therefore makes a decent reanimator target...though wouldn't you rather have Griselbrand?

Pay life + Sac a creature to get anything you want is some pretty powerful blood magic...
I was surprised because I thought he would be saved for Core 2019...I think he should've with the way they designed this ***** card. Do something for the Vorthoses for a change. My six year old nephew can write better flavor text than that.

He has Diabolic Intent with a life payment instead of a mana payment. And he is the stick.
Looks liem someone has never heard of edh
And how many ways to cheat creatures there are
And this has diabloic intent on a stick.
Yeah, don't really get why people are complaining that he's bad, considering all the ways there are to cheat out demons (:cough:).
Sure, he doesn't replace Griselbrand in reanimator decks, but he's plenty powerful if you've got creatures to sac.
Very powerful in EDH, not just decent.
