It ends up costing you 7 mana and discarding a card just to deal 1 damage? No thanks.

@bijart_dauth: I concur. As it is though, I can't imagine someone ever using this efficiently, and personally I find this card much less interesting than other comparatively crappy cards such as Sea Troll.

Can you not just use the bottom ability and activate it in response to its self? In other works activating it with hellbent to draw a card, than responding twice due to the stack you still have not drawn yet so hellbent is still active paying BBB and 6 life for 3 cards. Thus making it a possible draw engine that costs a lot of life, but black can work around the life loss...
That and really its top ability is really just a way to pitch the stuff you can't cast to get hellbent faster, that's the way I see it at least...

Merfolk Looter does four times as much work as this card, at one quarter the price. Also see Compulsion.

even in a hellbent deck id still go with greed over this for cooler flavor text and the lack of a huge hassle

Just let it sit there until you're out of cards. Fill up to your heart's content :)

You can place multiple instances of this on the stack during your upkeep, before you draw, for a lame necropotence effect.
