Tihs is a crap card. If you combine 2 cards, the result will be stupidly weak. Like printing a fireball on a 5cmc card or a brainstorm effect on a cmc 4 card. The list is endless. I would nearly always stay to two seperated versions. However there is no Drain Life like card with pure lifegain...

One of the few marginal cards in Worldwake... Someone won't want to play this until later in the game (beyond 4th turn) and by then it might be too late to do much.

God this card is bad... I mean in limited it might make sense, but in any constructed deck? A 2/4 flyer for 4 is unplayable. And the lifegain doesn't help either. Compare it to other options in standard. For 5 I could get this 2/4 dork and 2 life, or a 5/5 with Flying, first strike, lifelink, protection from Demons and from Dragons. Or for 6 I could get this dude and 4 life, or a 6/6 flyer that exiles permanents.

Of course I'm comparing an uncommon with mythics. How common or valuable a card is doesn't change how useful or useless it is in a deck. Would it make sense to say "I rate it 0.5 because it's crap. Oh wait it's common, I rate it 5 instead"? Not to mention many incredible cards are common or uncommon, and many crap cards are rare or even mythic. And I stick to my opinion that this card is junk. You say in a close late game it's good. I disagree. When the game is close I want to finish off my opponent and not play cards that stall the game for a turn or two at max.

What i was wondering (and this may be blindingly obvious to everyone else) but what happens if this card is exiled and then returned to the battle field say with Venser +2 ability would the multikicker cost life gain trigger again or not? because if yes then this card is so much better.

Too many people judge a card based on biased absolutes. This card is not junk. It is an upgraded Azure Drake for white. Will you put it in a competitive tournament deck? No. Is competitive tournament play the only way to play Magic? No. Personally I play most of my casual games with my wife who doesn't mind playing but isn't an avid Magic fan like myself. If I build a deck with a bunch of Baneslayer Angels and whatnot and proceed to pound my wife into the ground, she is going to lose interest in the game real fast. But I also don't want to soft play her or throw the game on purpose. So I like to build decks with less built in power cards to play against her and try to use skill to win. This card does a great job accomplishing that purpose.

Yeah not meant for constructed. Still you could run it in EDH if you can ramp up some mana. There are probably better things to spend it on, but infinite life will make you friends where as infinite mill will probably lose some friends lol.
