Well, it's better than Megrim! This Nocturnus exists to blackjack your distressed opponents, stealing an early victory before they recover from the disruption this card demands to be ran alongside. Immediately it slots in to your typical no-thrills black attack deck, too slow and conservative to be considered suicide. The real fun to be found in the Horror is in its improvement of already fair cards - Nocturnus turns Skullscorch into a mostly guaranteed four damage, Urza's Guilt into nine and Wheel of Fortune into anything up to fourteen! Disrupting Scepter is a good partner for him, and a fine card on its own, but greater humour can be found in him acquiring a partner, specifically any Specter-type creature, and providing that partner with some means to strike first - try a Blazing Specter wearing the Helm of Kaldra or else ensorcelled with Fists of the Demigod. Perhaps that's going a little over-the-top to satisfy an already fair card when greater results can be derived from a simpler pairing - Ill-Gotten Gains, a popular and questionably-balanced card, which both superpowers your Nocturnus and retrieves your Blightnings and Ravenous Rats and whatnot, combating the good your opponent found in the card while bludgeoning him or her half to death. Not bad at all. Can be acquired for about fifty pence a copy.
