Hybrid 1-drop that grows whenever you sacrifice creatures or artifacts, and has a built in activated ability that draws you cards? This seems like a pretty compelling 1-drop for Golgari, and one that I'm excited to test over Lotleth Troll.
This is pretty solid if you support aristocrats and have a lot of sacrifice outlets. If not, I don't like it more than other hybrid Golgari creature options like Fiend Artisan / Deathrite Shaman.
I do support Aristocrats, and have a fair number of sacrifice outlets. I run a fairly large multicolor section in my cube, though, and have made a point of not just stuffing Golgari with removal, so there's a bit more room in the list than most. I do already run Fiend Artisan and Deathrite Shaman, so this will be slotted in alongside them.
Activation cost too expensive considering it's weak body.
Only playable in a sacrifice deck and there's many payoffs I'd rather include over this.
Creatures that are bad top decks, weak vs bounce and need support to do anything always underperform in my experiences.
Not close for me, but not totally unplayable or anything.
Nonetheless, a good fit for my artifact cube with a BG sac/stax and +1/+1 counter theme. Hybrid allows it to be used for the BR Welder archtype as well.
I'm actively maintaining a comprehensive article to help explain to new cube players how some complex vintage level cards work in a cube environment. Vintage Cube Cards Explained
The addition of artifacts is really cool for Clue, food, or treasure synergies. I'm saddened the activation cost is both so expensive, and requires both colours. I wish it was (B/G)(B/G)
