Finally a B/R keyword I can live with

Greetings all-

Yesterday's preview card on MTG Daily was what I've been waiting for. The card of the day was called Reaper from the Abyss. His keyword? Morbid. At your end step if a creature died this turn, something happens. Scratch that, something cool happens. In the case of the Reaper, a non-demon creature dies. That's a black keyword for you. Better yet, that's a Black and Red keyword since it's so easy for those colors to kill creatures. I understand with a 3BBB casting cost, it's most useful in a mono black deck, but it's still got a lot of potential. This was the almost exact keyword I believe was needed for the Rakdos Guild during Dissension. Not Hellbent.

I described a keyword that would trigger if a creature died, and I'm NOT in any way claiming that Wizards stole the idea, but I'm very glad to see it's arrival. A bit late, but the way that Innistrad is shaping up, I'm seeing some color combinations in the mix, primarily with Vampires being Black/Red, Werewolves being Green/Red, but I don't know of any others yet guys, sorry. I'm sure there are, and will write about them in the near future. Either way, Wizards, thank you for creating Morbid. It's awesome, I love it, and I'm really anxious to see this as an arrival when it comes to Standard torunaments. I may even build a deck around Morbid...I got some ideas in mind...
