Standard's not the only format worth considering. Bouncing auras like Crown of Flames and Ghitu Firebreathing make this card tear up the board.

Finally decided to make a deck using all the heroic stuff from Theros, it's mostly Orzhov with a bit of blue splashed in. Very first game with it, I was really struggling against an unexpected token army and as a kind of last resort, decided to use Rite of Replication on him. Had just enough mana to then use a Hex on all of them. My opponents were not happy with my gleeful destruction.
Very fun, very good card. A 3/2 with deathtouch is already impressive for 3cmc. The heroic mechanic just makes him that much better, and at the very least screams for a deck to cater to him and other heroics, if not be built entirely on it.
4/5
Also, I got really excited at the thought of heroic triggering in graveyards, too. For those wondering, unfortunately heroic isn't that good... Or maybe that's a good thing. I can see a lot of abuse coming from that possibility.

B/G deck. Have the Agent out, alongside a Wild Defiance (the more, the merrier, of course). Cast a Rancor and Giant Growth, both targeting your Agent. What you've just done is pretty nasty: for two (G), you've made your opponent(s) sac two creatures, and you bumped your Agent up to a 9/8 trampler with deathtouch. Eww... Add a Viridian Claw to the mix, and welcome all the hugs and kisses from friends.

I think it's funny how everyone keeps mentioning orzhov enchantment strategies. Seems more like a Dimir-y creature to me in terms of mechanics and flavor. Objectively, you'll be looking at an esper list to fully maximize this in standard. It passes the cost/effect test as a 3/2 deathtouch for 3 alone and black has the most (and arguably the best) support for devotion which is a plus. Doesn't die to some of the more common black destruction spells (like Doom Blade) but does, unfortunately, die to Shock. It seems like a sleeper to me, one that already has some value in constructed.

For some reason the flavor text doesn't really seem to fit.
"You are living borrowed time.“ sounds much better.
