This card is not good, and pretending that relying on a specific artifact to be out before hand (torpor Orb and Graffdiggers cage) is not a good way to go about it.

I hate how the "rare" demons often scream card tempo disadvantage.

Mimic Vat? Torpor Orb? Fling? Too mainstream.
Cool people use Mark of the Oni. You've probably never heard of it.

So what happens if your only opponent has a Leyline of Sanctity in play? It would trigger upon re-entry, but would the trigger be able to be put on the stack without a legal target or would the trigger go on the stack without a target and then be countered upon resolution because of no legal target?

jjmalove: definitely would play Brand for this guy over Homeward Path. just because the flavor seems better that way.

It's a shame so many other black two-drops outclass it as far as "biting you in the ass later" or else this thing would be pretty cool and probably rated higher.

Could be sweet in a suicide black deck running 2 Phyrexian Tower and 2 Homeward Path. Phyrexian Tower helps ramp you up and also kills him after he undies before he leaves your side. Homeward Path isn't legendary, and lets you keep a 5/4.

Peel from Reality is another interesting option for when he dies, especially since you'll likely have the mana to recast him. It even works if you have to cast it after he's switched sides, since at least you get 2 creatures back to your hand.

I can see where wizards are going with black in Avacyn restored limited, with getting this card, in a primarily black based deck.
