Master of the Feast was a SB card last season against GR Monsters because they couldn't get rid of it. It didn't matter that they drew extra cards because none of them would be removal to stop him, and he's so fast that even with the extra card they couldn't win the race.

If a popular deck exists that has no removal (like Reid Duke's GR devotion deck), then that is where you would use it.
Those decks can play Arbor Colossus out of the board, and they should be playing it in the board for the mirror anyway. It blocks Stormbreath Dragon forever.

Also, Monsters could kill it. Setessan Tactics was in EVERY sideboard.
The had trouble killing Desecration Demon because it was 6 toughness, but Master being 5 means it dies to pretty much every Tactics. DD had to be killed by exactly Poly. Why are you guys trying to make a case for this bad card? :shrug:

Hell there are even playable creatures with Reach at the moment.

Against tokens (specifically Xenagos) or small creatures, sometimes Desecration Demon never got to untap, and opponents went straight around it. Giving your opponents a choice whether your creature can do creature things is not upside.

Master attacks for 5 each turn, it's as simple as that. I'm not saying Master is the best creature ever, but against some decks it's an unblockable, fast clock. You can't exactly ignore it forever.
There are so many flying creatures right now it's unreal. Lets stop comparing cards to other cards and keywords to other keywords because we are clearly not making good comparisons.

I'm not sure if you're trolling me right now or not.

What downside is there to "You either sac a creature or get hit by a 6/6?" Especially when the deck that played it already specialized in causing them to have no creatures to sac? The only time it was bad was when you're already losing, and in that scenario Master of the Feast is even WORSE because the last thing you want your chump blocker to do while you're losing is feed your opponent cards.

Master of the Feast is unplayable garbage.

Exactly, and Master of the Feast is a similarly large undercosted creature.

My post is ambigous, I was talking about Master in the second sentence.
Except significantly worse since there is basically no downside for your opponent. Desecration Demon was huge AND had upside.

Do you guys like Master of the Feast in MBA? Is the 5/5 flier on turn 3 worth the significant card disadvantage?
The guys in Sally love it seems really counter productive if your on the 4x Thoughtseize and 4 Mardu Skullhunter plan...
There is really no good reason to play it, there are much better wedge creatures anyway.

Leave it to Salvation to take the worst possible leap in logic.
