Hi everyone. I play a Martyr Life deck and looking around another Martyr decks i saw many that uses at least one Walking Ballista, but i dont really see how can i take advantage of using it. Is it really a good card? How can i use it?. This is an example of a deck with walking: https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=21617&d=345138&f=MO
I also wondered about the card. My friend borrowed my Martyr deck and he said it was his "best" card in the deck and he wanted to go up to 2.
I'm assuming because it can sacrifice to itself, it kills many X/1 creatures in the format, it is just so flexible. It just does a lot of stuff in the format, even as just a 1/1 or 2/2.

You can do some incredibly convoluted grindy lines with Ballista - stuff like using Mistveil Plains, an active Emeria, and Ranger in your bin to tuck it back into your library every turn, search it back up with the Ranger, and cast it for X=4...
