[SCD]Sewer Nemesis

[Darkenslight]

From MTGSalvation:

Sewer Nemesis 
Creature - Horror (R)
As Sewer Nemesis enters the battlefield, choose a player.
Sewer Nemesis's power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards in that player's graveyard.
Whenever the chosen player casts a spell, that player puts the top card of his or her library into his or her graveyard.

Looking at the card, it has a dual-purpose: self-mill, and enemy-mill.  I suppose it has potential as an alt wincon in Storm decks (outside of EtW), as well as LED-Based Dredge.  Are there any other decks that this could slot into, and what would it replace?

[Meddling Mike]

It's a shame this guy doesn't have haste, if he did I'd think he could work as a Dread Return target in Dredge. Looking at this card as Dredge hate, it seems like without trample he'd be getting blocked by Zombie tokens and Narcomoebas all day long. As far as an alternate win condition for a Storm deck, if you want to deck your opponent isn't Brain Freeze way more efficient? Interesting card, but probably not good enough to see Vintage play.

I imagine this is too pricey to hardcast, and not strong enough to cheat into play.

It's probably preferable to Sutured Ghoul in older style dredge decks and with Dragon Breath it still may playable.  Hermit Druid may have a new toy to play with.

This allows hermit to use many less card slots in deck to have substantially the same win as with sutured ghoul.

Dredge won't play this for the same reason it doesn't play Lord of Extinction: It's a vanilla. If you want a big vanilla creature that DOESN'T die to GY-Hate, DR a GGT and you're fine.

I suggest you read Dragon Breath again.

Wagner,

You keep catching these little details that are so crucial, like the CMC requirement on Dragon Breath.  Unfortunately I am the doofus suggesting these nombos.  Please drink less coffee in the mornings. Good catch.

 I guess what he boils down to is another Lord or Extinction style critter, essentially his vanillaness does not inspire.

How so? The Hermit package is typically seven cards (Dread Return, Ghoul, Dragon's Breath, Lord of Extinction, 3-4 Narcomoebas) and I'm not sure which of these Sewer Nemesis can replace.
