ok heres one, rite of consumption, hexmage, dark depths. seen it done on turn 2. GAME OVER! turn 1; drop dark depths, and a lotus petal turn 2 swamp and hexmage (at the end of opponents 2nd turn, sac hexmage [if hes still there] turn 3 swamp and you can either attack with depths or use rite of consumption be careful if your opponent is using any type of spell that causes you to sac a creature (wing shards, diabolical edict, fleshbag maruaders, ect...) (and an old school card that works great against it, spike weaver (3 fogs built in) great fast early deck, but if stopped early, it stalls bad, there really isnt any extra support for it. not enough creatures or things to help dark depths

This card is way too good to be a common!

crazy-broken: turn 3 soulstoke, turn 4 use his ability with supreme exemplar to deal 24 damage. GG! also broken in quillspike/devoted druid decks (infinite damage turn 3, 4, or 5).

This card is so underplayed. Sure its sorcery speed, but it acts like a modern "Fling". How about casting on Kokusho for and easy 10 damage/10 life. GG. This card is so underrated.

Great overlooked card. I'm planning on a playset of the in my R/Black with my nova chasers early game, and mid to late game with demigod of revenge (sac the demigod, do 5 damage, gain 5 life. then cast a demigod and get the one I just fed to this card right back)
