A 1/1 flying infect costs 2, a 2/2 flying infect with an ability costs 4. Seems fair, but Plague Stinger is always going to be more popular in constructed. I can see this being cool with living weapons however. Sac the token, equip, swing.

Pretty brutal in limited. I expect many a game to be decided by this guy. It's risky, but you will usually win if you connect after the pump.

This guy is just a house in Limited.
If you pass him in draft, you're going to get your face beat in by him later,
Seriously, just really solid card overall,
Not powerful enough to see constructed too much,
But definitely finds a strong throne in Casual and Limited.

Look carefully at this guy's anatomy. Observe its wide, grinning triangular jaw, its slitted, narrow eyes, its excessively-long arms, it's pinkish-beige skin...
It's obviously a one-earred Mirran goblin after phyrexis. It ain't an Imp, it's a damned flying goblin. What were the phyrexian surgeons thinking when they named this thing?

I like this guy, combos well with myr, living weapons or any token for that matter. Decent uncommon.

This card wins games by itself, not to mention causes the rest of your team to dodge the nasty side effects of various kill cards (Burn the Impure, Turn to Slag, Volition Reins, etc"

Great in limited- it's pumpable infect and the evasion only makes it sweeter.
Also responsible for one of my worst play mistakes- I sacrificed all my creatures to him to swing for lethal and it got hit by a noxious fumes causing me to lose the game. I later went on to win the match anyway, but the 2-1 lost me the 2nd/3rd place tiebreaker.

Chimney imp got tired of all the jokes, joined phyrexia, and now he is ready to bring pain.
aA flying 2/2 with infect at 4 CMC is nice. We have flying infect at 2,3,4 and 5 drops now, I'm thinking of making my black equip infect flying, then strata scythe can really start to bring pain, since my creatures have built in evasion.

@tcollins:
I actually pulled off the Pawn of Ulamog combo in casual Cube ... with Geth, Lord of the Vault and an opponent's milled 1-drop! (Elves of Deep Shadow).
That was a fun game.
