In case you didn't hit that link Lotus Mox left for ya', that's Spirit Monger. The card. On WotC's website. The thing is REAL, as printed in the spoiler. No joke.
Ladies and gentlemen. I challenge you to show me a creature previously printed that is MORE obviously undercosted. Not just undercosted. More OBVIOUSLY undercosted. Email me if you can come up with one: Zad001@hotmail.com. That's just WRONG.

Divisionary Tactics 3W

Tap two untapped creatures you control: Tap target creature.
Uncommon
Anyone else think it's no coincidence we didn't see this until AFTER Vitalize was gone?

Ice Cave 3UU
Enchantment
Whenever a player plays a spell, any other player may pay that spell's mana cost. If a player does, counter the spell.
Rare
Mana cost, or converted mana cost?
Reef Shaman U
Creature - Merfolk
T: Target land's type becomes the basic land type of your choice until end of turn.
0/2
Common
And I had wondered where the Tidal Warrior was in the Fish decks...the one that gave your opponent Islands. Here's my answer...he was busy trading a point of power for a point of toughness!

BLACK:
Dead Ringers 4B
Sorcery
Destroy two target nonblack creatures unless either one is a color the other isn't.
They can't be regenerated.
Common
Allow me to translate.
Two Llanowar Elves - OK. Both green.
A Llanowar Knight and a Sabretooth Nishoba - OK. Both white and green.
A Llanowar Elf and a Sabretooth Nishoba - Not OK. One is white, and the other isn't.
So...not only do they have to share a color, they have to share *all* their colors.
Oh, and it's a sorcery.
Bleh.
Phyrexian Rager 2B
Cretaure - Horror
When Phyrexian Rager comes into play, you draw a card and you lose a life.
2/2
Common
Not bad. Often, a black speed deck will stall once it hits three mana; that extra card can be the push it needs. One life is seldom a big price to pay. If it had evasion, it would be amazing; as it is, it's okay.

RED:

Minotaur Tactician gets +1/+1 as long as you control a white creature.
Minotaur Tactician gets +1/+1 as long as you control a blue creature.

So, if you have him AND a white AND a blue creature, it's a 3/3 haste for 3R. Decent.
If you have him and a white OR blue creature, it's a 2/2 haste for 3R. Poor.
If you have him and no white or blue creatures, it's a 1/1 haste for 3R. Raging Goblin + 3 colorless.
...whatever.

GREEN:
Lay of the Land G
Sorcery
Search your library for a basic land card, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.
Common
Hmmm. Quite useable in a domain deck, and also a way to cheaply thin one's deck...also enables a lower land count in a green deck. Land Grant-esque.
Symbiotic Deployment 2G
Enchantment
Skip your draw step.
1, Tap two untapped creatures you control: Draw a card.
Rare
Holy CRAP. Combine with:
Saproling Cluster 1G
Enchantment
1, Discard a card from your hand: Put a 1/1 Saproling token into play. Any player may play this ability.
Rare
...from Nemesis. I'll just throw my ENTIRE DECK at you...

Spidey :
you discard 2 cards to draw 1 the first turn, but get to draw another one each turn after that ...
As far as the Spirit monger is concerned :
Here is the last line (underneath the card) in Wizard's Website:
----------
Just remember - you asked for it.
----------
So it might be true, and since the card has been voted for by people visiting the website, well ... I might believe it.
Although I agree that the creature, if great, is probably undercosted. At least it doesnt have trample ...

Yeah, but then you're spending 1 mana and tapping two (untapped) creatures. Why not just have your draw step? So you can draw that one card at ANY time during your turn?
So far I see nifty applications, but not something to warrant a <gasp omigod> from whoever thought this up (Isty? Duel?)

Okay, two things (and more later):
1. Symbiotic Deployement.
Great card that has many ways of being abused, but imagine playing against an opponent with Wrath of God? Worse yet, an opponent with Wrath of God and counterspells? Still, I like it.
2. Spiritmonger.
Here's where my problem is. Black/green is by far my favourite color-combo ever. But! What the hell is wrong with this creature? I mean I'm going to enjoy playing with it and all... But jeesus!!! Who else is going to play something other than this?! Yeah, I know, Wrath of God, Terminate, Counterpsells, Defiant Vanguard. But what else? How will another deck that isn't playing any of these (or possibly a few others I missed.. Meddling Mage for example) going to deal with it? Ex.:
Fires player: Forest. Bird.
Spiritmonger player: Forest. Bird.
Fires player: Mountain. Fires.
Spiritmonger player: Swamp. Dark Ritual. Spiritmonger. Wanna scoop now or wait until yor Blastoderm shows up?
I mean christ! And what worse can happen... If Fires players splash black like they did before and play this thing!
Ok, I'll stop ranting now. Black/Green, me likey, broken like crazy, etc.

Defiant Vanguard doesn't kill Spiritmonger
Although rebels shouldn't really have problems with it alone, they can just infinitely chump-block it.

Spidey and Lotus Mox: Thanks a lot dudes!
Lotus Mox: yep I just realized that too. But can you imagine what will happen when you slap down an Armadillo Cloak on his hide?
Edit: Spidey, what hapenned? I downloaded your spoiler .txt file, and after I replied your message ain't here no more. What's up?

I took the spoiler from Mtgnews and copied/pasted it by color unto a .txt file. Mox's spoiler had some errors, such as "monocolored" instead of "muslticolored" on Dragon Arch. Still, Mox, you da man, I would've never had the patience to type all that stuff up. Anyways, I made a .txt and if anyone wants a .doc. Basically, Yyou can just select all in the .txt and paste it into Word, and it will work out fine. Also, mtgnews didn't have rarities for split cards, so I assumed they were uncommon. As I'm typing this I'm starting to realize that I don't know how to attach files. Someone tell me how to, or tell me where to send you the file so you can attach it. Thanks!
P.S. It comes out to 18 pages in Word at Times New Roman font size 10. Pretty big, but worth printing.

Okay, Symbiotic Deployment is yet to be broken. HOWEVER, it allows you to hold back creatures for blocking AND have them serve a useful purpose. Or it defeats summoning suckness. It's GREEN CARD ADVANTAGE! What the heck are you complaining about!
Oh, and Spiritmonger is AMAZING. It kills derms, black removal -terminate can't touch it. Red removal -incenerate, terminate can't either. Story Circle and Teferi's Moat don't stop it. Chump blocking it only increases the problem.... DAMN. Even Exile can't kill it because *voila!* it's white!
