Strengths:

• Casualty Mechanic: Provides flexibility and board presence by potentially allowing for a second planeswalker.
• Life Drain: The +1 ability serves as both disruption and life gain if you control a Demon or Devil.
• Token Generation: The -2 ability offers board presence and reach.
• Card Advantage: The ultimate is both a card advantage engine and a significant life loss for the opponent.

Weaknesses:

• Low Starting Loyalty: Begins with only 3 loyalty, making it vulnerable to attack.
• Cost of Casualty: Requires sacrificing a creature, which might be a steep price depending on the board state.

Potential Deck Placement:

• This planeswalker would fit well in midrange or control decks focusing on life drain and board presence.
• It could also find a home in Demon or Devil tribal decks.

Flavor and Art:

• The artwork by Yongjae Choi likely portrays Ob Nixilis in a menacing pose, surrounded by Demonic or hellish imagery.
• The abilities all center around the dark and disruptive nature of Ob Nixilis.

Overall Impression:

• Ob Nixilis, the Adversary is a versatile planeswalker with an innovative "Casualty" mechanic that can provide extra value. While its starting loyalty is a bit low, the combination of life drain, card disruption, and token generation makes it a well-rounded threat in various game scenarios.
