This is the card I would play if Chimney Imp wouldn't exist.

Cards like this are what keep me out of low-restriction formats: I don't like absolutely having to have one or probably losing to it or having to build around dealing with it reliably.

Best flavour text ever.

Someone's probably already mentioned it, but the Dark Confidant in the art isn't Bob; it's the fat, floating... egg demon... thing that Bob's talking to.
The more you know~
EDIT:
...or is it? Just noticed that it's a *Human* Wizard. So then, is the floating egg demon confiding in Bob so that Bob can offer him greatness at a price? But then why would a demon confide in a human?

Needs core set reprint. Too bad people aren't satisfied by Dark Tutelage.

This is good for getting a free card on your second turn. Many vintage decks run 0-2 cmc cards with few that cost more. Since this is a creature, you can sacrifice it for other effects like Ashnod's Altar. It also makes an decent attacker for turn 2 being a 2/1.

What makes this card so great is that most opponents will not realize that they lost to this card in the long run. Seems innocuous at first, but when you're drawing multiple threats faster than opponents can deal with, then you know you have a winner.
Life loss can be mitigated with cards like Umezawa's Jitte and Basilisk Collar. Sensei's Divining Top could be used to make sure you lose as little life as possible, which many decks already do, but I rather just stick to more aggressive options.

As of Dragon's Maze Bob is a Zombie, Blood Scrivener, same mana cost, same power and toughness, used to be a Human Wizard, now he's a Zombie Wizard, and potentially more powerful in the right deck, plus his flavor text is awesome "Make Sure you bleed the fine print."...

Why does the Confidant remind me of Hayden Christensen?
