Oh my dear friend. How have you been? It has been years since you and I shared our glory days at tournament tables with our classic combo: Dark Ritual + Buried Alive + Balthor the Defiled. Now all that separates us is time and dust...

Amusingly, Boon Reflection / Rhox Faithmender + Flicker abilities (Conjurer's Closet, Venser, the Soujourner are some reusable ones)actually earn you life if you target yourself.

This is really quite good, even by today's standards. If it was ever reprinted I could see it still having a major impact on Standard as a curve topper.

Blinking this could be fun. Deal 12 damage immediately and they can only gain back 6. Not that you should need the extra 6 damage by the time this rolls around.
Actually, now that I think about it, this could be really fun with a fast blink like cloudshift. You don't even need to cast it in response to him entering the battlefield. The "enters the battlefield" ability is put on the stack above the "leaves the battlefield" ability, so as long as they are at 6 or less health, they lose before they have a chance to gain the 6 life back (yay for losing being a state-based action now).

Excellent finisher for a graveyard deck, obviously, and not so prohibitively costed that you can't run it in a normal deck. Really sticks it to a white griefer using Worship. He'll have nightmares about tentacles and darkness for the rest of his miserable life. 5/5
