This and/or Endless Scream has won me a fair share of games...Dunno what that one guy is talking about...

After Endless Scream was printed in Tempest, this card soon became a bit underrated if you wanted to increase your creatures' power. Anyway I still think the old Howl has its own advantages particularly when considering the surprise damage from an unblocked weenie. Also, black doesn't have too much large creature boosters so I value the Howl because of that, too. Oh yes, and black doesn't have Fireballs so you can't compare Howl with a Fireball mr. Daw...

I don't like this card it is just a bad Fire Ball. For this to damage a player then your creature has to get through. If you want it to hit a creture then you have to wait for the creature to block or attack it just doesn't have the versitility.

Cheap casting, cheap damage. Since this card in an instant, play it just as opponent is assessing personal damage from that lowly 1/1 creature that got through.
