CARDNAME can only attack alone.  When CARDNAME attacks a player and isn't blocked, that player's life total becomes 1.  CARDNAME doesn't assign combat damage.

Advent of the Wurm is SO amazing! I knew that populate was going to explode in Standard once Dragon's Maze arrived.

What do you think of the new planeswalker?

Say hello to the newest EDH ban.

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Was it already banned?

[MarduArrow]

Was it already banned?

If not it probably will be

[vary712]

why would it be banned? there's alot stronger out there. besides, it doesn't allow draw

[Stoneco1d869]

Because it with  {Kaalia of the Vast} would drastically alter the game.

[MuggyWuggy]

Imagine how upsetting it would be to get an artful dodge on that demon and then  {Geistflame}

Game over in a turn

I'm kind of not understanding the ban thing either.  I mean, Khaalia cheats him out a turn early maybe, but since he has to attack alone that's not that more relevant than just playing him.  I'm no EDH pro though, so maybe I'm missing something.  He seems really good if someone can build a control shell around him, outside of that you can chump block him with anything forever since he assignes no combat damage.  Still, not looking forward to playing on the opposite end of the table when this guy comes down.

No the effect still works, its in the rules.

Kaalia's ability puts it onto the battlefield attacking, bypassing the "must attack alone" rule.

Yeah. He's a little kitchen table. {shock} comes to mind. Or cheat him out early game.

Hopefully DGM or M14 will give us some good reanimator spells. I'd love to play him in that type of deck. Obviously they won't make anything as good as {unburial rites} and printing a one or two CMC reanimator ala {Reaninate} or {animate dead} would just be mean, but they gotta give s something!

Well we could ramp up with things like {Heartless Summoning}, oh wait...  It rotates out before m14

Oh well short lived success.
