In non-tribal cubes, is there a reason this guy does not see play? I was reading an article on SCG comparing this little squid with Simic Manipulator. Imo, the Oppressor is the stronger card, and I think the reason I don't put it in my Cube is that it's a pretty easily removed threat. Has anyone had any success with him? Compared to other Control Magic creatures (Gilded Drake...ok that's about the only other one I'd run)?
Better in Multiplayer, due to the political implications of making a single player choose, and I've seen him get play there.
But at the end of the day, a weak and easy-to-remove body.

I doubt I'd play it in my peasant 360 if it was an uncommon.
