Default [ARB] "Lightning Reaver"

Just found a new card while filing a modo request. Enjoy!

Lightning Reaver 3BR
Creature - Zombie Beast

Fear, Haste
Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, put a charge counter on it.

At the end of your turn, ~ deals damage equal to the number of charge counters on it to each opponent.

3/3

That is really really cool. I like the idea of "deal with me or you will be in a world of hurt"
Kind of like mirror-sigil sergeant

BR is getting some good loving from this set

Wow i absolutely love it. Potential awesomeness in multiplayer and evasive beater in standard. Potential in B/R aggro?

Edit-You should probably post the p/t as well

Nice find!

Obviously geared towards multiplayer. Hmm, time to check gatherer for ways to add charge counters.

I like it, but I dunno if it will make the cut in standard, a little pricey.

Something about the text on the card seems off. Kinda fake looking almost. Otherwise, a really solid card.

Oh man, this is all kinds of fun! Dang it! After this set, I'm already going to have 3 decks with BR in them. Stop tempting me to make another one, Wizards!

I'm loving all of these fun multiplayer cards. ARB is looking amazing so far.

Everytime i see a new cool black/red card I get even more annoyed by the existence of celestial purge.

Worthless in constructed formats. Solid for multiplayer though.
