You can use it immediately as a removal spell, and many times, the activated ability will be relevant, especially against Commander staples like Swiftfoot Boots
A first take might look as such: Creatures (13) Planeswalkers (8) Lands (24) Spells (15) 7) Strangleroot Geist *sigh* If only this card werent green the ability to play a hasted two-power attacker for two that returns to play with a +1/+1 counter if its killed is incredibly powerful, but is limited in this case by the extent to which it fits into a shell that does something (i.e., isnt green)
It would be even cleaner to have no permanent in this list, but cards like Viashino Pyromancer have always been part of burn decks, and if youre looking to synergize with other burn cards, this makes sense

The most secure way to ensure a card is genuine is to buy it from a reputable seller
Dark Ritual Generating 3 mana for the cost of 1 seems innocuous at first, and Dark Ritual is card disadvantage
