These guys + Hatred wins me sooo many games. Because it's FS and only 1/1, no one wants to chump it early on--in response to you not blocking, Dark Ritual ~ Hatred (I pay X life and I win.). Heck, even just putting on Unholy Strength makes this guy menacing on turn 1-2.

A staple in many black decks in the early days of MTG, right up to Antiquities, and still highly usable today. A 1/1 creature with first strike for 1 mana, What more can I say. any time you can get something for nothing in MTG thats a good thing. its a shame this card has been forgotten by most people over the years.
