Let me respell your sentence slightly Gheta, it used to be popular. It's overshadowed by Consume Spirit these days.

IMHO Consume Spirit is wrong. Why would you get 20 life for doing 20 damage to a 0/1 creature.

This card is very popular and it works amazingly with any infinite mana combo that can produce black. Just the fact that is one extra mana than most XR spells yet it gains you most of the damage you dealt is amazing.

How would it work amazingly with infinite mana? 20 mana, maybe, 40 if they had doubled their health somehow.

@tavaritz You would gain 20 life because you did actually deal 20 damage to that creature, but you only need one to kill it. A creatures toughness doesn't affect how much or how little damage can be dealt to it.

I like how forward this is, mono-black spell that drains life.

This is just a good spell back in the day, nothing else in black really dealt damage and gave you life
