I like this card a lot. It's not a bomb card, one of those I drop it and my opponent goes omg what is that? It is, however, a nice incremental advantage. My opponent wont want to kill it for being a 1/1, it helps me with my phyrexian mana, and I can always just play it for 2 if I draw it a bit later. Otherwise I will just slap a sword on it, maybe sword of vengeance. It's just a decent lifelinking creature, and that's all I can ask of it. I could imagine this being fun with tempered steel obviously, but also caged sun. I think suture priest is better really, but vault skirge is a flying life linking common.

Seriously, anyone who thinks this card isn't good must have an IQ of lower than 12, great? possibly not, bad? couldn't be further from it, 1/1 for 2 for black. eh, 1/1 flier for 2 for black, maybe, 1/1 flying lifelinker for black for 2? well now i'm interested, "oh dude, instead of paying the 1 mana extra, you can just pay 2 life." "but i'll have that back in 2 turns." "yeah. pretty awesome isn't it." "you fucken know it!"

Will not make up for the life you put into it, odds are it will net you some life.

I still think he sucks.
I mean come on: a small black creature that cost's some life to cast. What deck does that belong to? Suicide black, right. What does suicide black not care about? It's controllers amount of life. Would suicide black then want a life-link creature in it? Nope. Would suicide black want to have a 1/1 dork in it? Nope.
If it would be awesome on the first turn... but it ain't. In matters of dealing damage to your opponent, it's like a suntail hawk. That one also costs one mana and is a 1/1 flyer. Except that this imp needs to attack at least three times to net you some life, and whether you can do that with a 1/1 creature is questionable. Not to mention that in any time of the game after turn one, this card is horrible.
Of course the idea of costing life when beeing played and evening that out by attacking is cute, but it doesn't change that this card sucks. No matter that if your opponent counters it (quite unlikely since a 1/1 creature is har... (see all)

Lovely, but it'll probably be hated out of Standard. It trades with Hawks and dies to almost every anti-KRed card in the format.

Am I missing something here? Why do you think this is good? A 1 power flyer without a good ability is never good, and this card is no exception. 1 power in general on an offensive creature is never good. It takes this dude 20 turns to kill someone. "Oh, well you get in a couple times and next thing you know they took 5 damage from one card and you gained 3 life." This is assuming that your opponent didn't:
A: Play their own flyer, considering that this card loses to pretty much any half-decent flyer.
B: Interact with it in any way, which is a stretch for them to do I suppose considering that this card doesn't do much.
I find it really wrong that an actually playable limited card like Spined Thopter has half the rating that this card has but is a billion times better. Seriously, this card loses in a fight to Chimney Imp, and that should be embarassing. The card is highly irrelevant most of the time. Compare turn one this verses turn one auto... (see all)
