Is Abyssal Persecutor Viable in Modern?

I've been looking for different ways to play Abyssal Persecutor and the decks that I've seen so far aren't very great. Has anyone seen this card do well?

Problem with it is, is there is no unresponable way to get rid of it.
In The Gate in legacy it is a 6/6 beater for 4 who you flashback Cabal to kill. In modern he is just rather meh.
Desecration Demon is a better choice in modern cause while they can have him chomping on tokens for days, he is a beating versus control decks and midrange decks that won't make so many tokens for him.

It can't be too hard to get rid of him. Most black decks already run some sort of creature removal, Victim of Night being one of them. Geth's Verdict works well too.

There's Devour Flesh , Fling , Beast Within , etc. If you build around it, it's extremely potent, IMO. I've seen them as a two of in MBC decks at times.

Smallpox and Liliana of the Veil are two cards you'd play with it anyway. He's much stronger than Desecration Demon in Modern IMO because he doesn't get shut down by Lingering Souls and the like.
