In a continuation for traumatizing cards in EDH/commander, we have a high-value but devastating card that could easily make you lose friends! This card could be useful in a lot of decks you can think of containing black mana. A deck that depends on opponents losing life to gain life or life-decks. A deck that deals damage via land-tapping or excess mana. Or even in a demon-artifact deck with powerful hexproof spells (can’t be target of spells) or indestructible counters.

I specifically run this with Toshiro Umezawa and Exquisite Blood. A wonderful combo that allows me to double-cast this spell and gain double-life for each point of life lost. Even in other formats, evening the table as a black player can give you quite the opportunity…if you’re patient for it.
