What power creep?

Abyssal Persecutor
Creature - Demon
Flying, trample You can't win the game and your opponents can't lose the game.
	6/6

So? He isnt that good. He's much worse than baneslayer/bbelf/other cards

Unless the title wasnt sarcastic.

[Thomas David Baker]

I really like this card.

[Nam Hyoung Lee]

Make an opponent 0 life and then just return it. simple.

[Charlie Grover]

That doesnt make him overpowered. His drawback is steep.

[Ben Titmarsh]

I would say the drawback is closer to irrelevant than steep. Your deck will be running removal by default, a couple of extra terminates/pulses/paths isn't exactly a cost. By power creep I am talking about converted mana cost to P/T ratio and the curve getting lower.

That said Baneslayer can block this all day long... protection from Demons baby.

[Glenn Goldsworthy]

his drawback is big but he is also rather silly, I wonder how many people will play him at the pre-release and the not read the drawback until they lose a game because of him

[Ben Titmarsh]

Yeah limited is a whole different ball game. You'd need to have a very good reason to run him.

I just know there are going to be some stupid judge questions over this one

Seems amusing for multiplayer - You can't attack someone whose creature is the only thing keeping you alive!

On that note, what the hell happens if you have this out in multiplayer and one of your opponents completes some alternate win condition?

[Ben Titmarsh]

They win...

Oh I see what you mean. I guess what would happen is you would lose the game, then as a state based effect (depending on the win condition), the other opponents would lose the game.

But then he is basiclly a 6/6 that makes you discard a removal spell. Which is potentially not that good. Im not saying its bad, but its gonna be overhyped like cobra then find a role that is not amazing but still solid...like cobra.

Oh, and im pretty sure the guy who won the game still wins the game if you have this out in multiplayer, because no one loses, he just wins.
