New Shadow Isles Spell - Unspeakable Horror

Often better than Vile Feast unless you care about spiders. Nightfall units aren't great, but a card's a card. (And if you have the mana to play the unit immediately, you've already got the trigger.)

Then again, you have to plan more carefully to be sure you get the Nightfall value, so bad players may struggle to use it well.

Here I was thinking Vile Feast was better ~80% of the time, as you're guaranteed a free 1/1 which often makes a good chump blocker.  For Unspeakable Horror: sometimes yes you'll get a consequential unit which you'll value more than a spiderling, but other times you'll get a something that you just plan to chump block with anyways, except now you have to spend non-spell mana and your action to summon it.

The one big "upside" I see is that there aren't many nightfall units announced yet--so far, just Stygian Onlooker, Doombeast, Duskrider, and Nocturne--so if that's it for the Aug 26 release, any Nocturne decks practically need to run this card just to get more units to level him.
