Well look at it this way: by turn five your opponent probably only has like 2 cards in his or her hand, so you only have to pay 2 life!

Why is he not like 4/4 intimidate or something? That still wouldn't be overpowered. 1/3 is just bad. Sure, you can get some life back with Extort, but that is too slow.

How come no one is pointing out you can pay any amount of life, one can abuse this with fateful hour with type 2 or at least a Death's Shadow. It can go into a glass cannon deck I suppose.

Ok confesser seems a bit overpriced for his ability. and I give him credit for paying X life reveal X cards but still that ability seems to be too late in the game to matter much. Lets price him step by step. a 1/3 body should cost WhiteBlack should be sufficient. Extort, the growing consensus is that Extort should add 1 more mana in the casting cost, so now we have 1WhiteBlack, Lastly the Castigate ability, being able to pay life to see that many cards from your opponents hands is pretty nifty, you also get to choose to exile one of the cards. So they have decided to add 2 more mana to this guy making him a 3WhiteBlack I can understand why people think he should cost less, but for his abilities I think his cost is just fine, my only problem is that his power and toughness will never let him live long enough to Extort from your opponent. Turns 6 and later you are probably trying to stabilize the board position and having a 1/3 creature wont help you stabilize.

He would've been a better li... (see all)

Terrible card, but one of the most Orzhov cards there is. Human (majorit subtype on Orzhov watermarked cards), life draining (the most popular ability of Orzhov watermarked cards, thanks to Extort), and causes discard, through an exiling manner, which is another Orzhov thing. But... Such a terrible card!

@vantha the days of a 1/3 body costing WB for an uncommon are long gone. You'd be expecting something like a 1/6 or 2/2 death touch.

This guy has real value in Commander, especially in an Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck. You're gaining life every turn anyway so 6 or 7 life to access all the cards in an opponent's hand isn't that steep a price. And he has extort which Oloro loves.
