U/B is definitely a powerhouse of a deck in this new type 2, thanks mostly to Finkle, and Psychatog fits in quite nicely. In fact, Psychatog will be the best three drop creature around once it becomes legal. I know the Finkle fans are appauled by this bold statement, and knowing the greatness of the Infiltrator, I'm not going to make such a statement without a good argument.

First of all, defensively, Phychatog can go head to head with any bear your opponent may have dropped the turn before and still come out alive. In the early game, for the low price of a discarded card and in the later game, its pumping cost becomes the no-brainer price of removing cards from the game that you most likely wouldn't be able to use again anyway. It even one-ups the best bear in Odyssey, Wild Mongrel, by being able to reuse the discarded cards from more pumping power.

Attacking presents a very similar situation. With the ability to pump large enough to kill most blockers and still survive to fight another day, opponents must decide whether to lose a creature or accept what will most likely be some severe damage.

Of course, that's the two dimensional view of this card. What makes this card the best is all the little things it does to strengthen and give security to your deck. At the core of Psychatog's strength is its colors. As a black creature, it can take on the pesky Infiltrator as well as any other "can only be blocked by black and/or artifact creatures" nuisances. Blue means you're running it in your control deck and that means lots of one shot instants. Let's break down just what that means.

With blue, instant bounce, counter and card drawing is at the very core of your deck. You use them once, they serve their purpose and then they are gone forever (in most cases). But wait! With Psychatog in your deck, they now become pump power for your creature. Fact or Fiction? You're no longer losing the cards, just changing their purpose. Traumatize? Not so traumatic, considering the amount of power you can now give your Psychatog. Haunting Echoes? In response, just remove all the cards Echoes could normally get. And these are just a few of Psychatog's uses.

Now, I'm not saying Psychatog is the sort of card you build a deck around, it's not THAT strong, but as a support card, it just doesn't get better. Of course, this is just one player's opinion and suggestions and/or criticisms are more then welcome.
