Maddening Imp gives all of your opponent's creatures a simple choice: attack or die. Most creatures are fielded with the intention of mixing it up, so normally this isn't such a problem. But hold on... what happens if they have to politely wait through a Moment of Silence? Whoops, you just played a one-mana Plague Wind. Pacifying or tapping an affected creature will have a similar result.

Don't have a way to stop creatures from attacking? You won't mind forcing your opponent to run his critters headlong into Souls of the Faultless and High Priest of Penance, either. Nettling Imp is a backup taunter, and the rather unique Oracle en-Vec combines interestingly with the Imps and can trick an opponent into making misplays. All these creatures so far are pretty small, though... why not pop in Reveillark as a form of card advantage that can reset your gameplan if need be?
