I remember people calling Tarmogoyf underwhelming at first.
this has the potential to be bigger than Tarmogoyf plus has 2 evasion keywords.
What keeps it back is that it doesn't grow stronger if it is already on the field, but on the other hand it doesn't shrink if the graveyard is removed from the game after it hit the field.
Has its pros and cons if compared to tarmogoyf, but one thing is sure, it clearly has much potential.
Is this the smallest/cheapest demon to date?
Not counting changelings, of course.
I wouldn't mind having this "different mana cost matters" becoming a recurring mechanic in the future.
There are two 2 CMC demons Rakshasa Deathdealer from Khans and the undying switch sides one from Avacyn Treacherous Pit-Dweller been at least a handful of 3 CMC ones before like the 5/5 flier that drew opponents cards, the 4/3 flier that saced your other creatures and I think there was a -1/-1 counter themed one from Amonkhet. Being a 0/0 though kinda makes smallest an easy win though lol.
Really forgot that Rakshasa from Tarkir have the demon subtype.
Next time I'll take my time to make a fast search on the gatherer
So... Is no mana cost different from 0 mana cost for this card?
Supposing I have a lotus bloom (no mana cost) and an Ornithopter (0 mana cost) in my graveyard.
Does this come into play with 1 or 2 counters? (most probably 1, tho as no mana cost is not a mana cost).
