Don't look at it as a creature, look at it like a cheap sacrifice outlet that can occasionally swing.

To say this isn't great in a sac deck is very short-sighted.
Works wonders in my Mortician Beetle sac deck.
4/5

I like how the one person I generally disagree with (Majinara) is the only one that made some really good points about this card.
You guys are underestimating this card, I myself underestimated it until I tried it out. Just because it doesn't do something amazing or win you the game doesn't mean it's terrible or the creators are designing it badly. Yeah it's not BS (baneslayer), but what if everything was?
Any permanent that allows you to sacrifice things for free with a cost of two mana or less is good in my book. It is very quite often when I am playing black that I would much prefer to put my creatures into the graveyard (where I can get them back later) rather than have them exiled. This plus a 2/1 that flies on occaision in two awesome card types makes this very quite playable for me. I like the design, I like the flavor, I like the abiltiy.
5/5

Perhaps the good news is that it can sacrifice itself.

The only thing I'd be sacrificing would be the game, because if I'm playing this card i must really suck.

Woah that card ain't that bad actually. Two power for two mana is fine, it's immune to lots of black removal ("destroy target nonblack"), and it got evasion! Also, if someone wants to steal any of your creatures, this little dude allows you to simply sacrifice them in response. Just slap some equipment on him, like that +6/+6 thing, and you're good to go!

Oxidda Daredevils cousin.
Bad news: His art isn't as nice. And yeah, he is prime candidate for sac 95% of the time.
Good news: It isn't Chimney Imp
Still, it's 14-15 pick in draft.
