Why do people think this is so bad? It's easy to get around the life-loss problem if you need to; this creates tempo (the most important and hardest to gain resource) from life (the easiest to gain and one of the least important resources)
-Deathrite shaman gets tempo-free burn on the opponent whenever they drop a creature
-Priest of Gix ramps into a 4-drop (obliterator? persecutor?)
-Bitterblossom costs you life, but creates extra mana/tempo
-This effectively reduces the cost of every creature in your hand by 1.
-Lingering souls gains you not only 2 tokens, but enough mana to cast typical {1}{B} or {B}{B} removal.
-Leaving 1 mana open means you have enough for the above removal spells if they drop a creature. Think abrupt decay in G/B
-Playing a creature means you have 1-mana for a discard spell; ironically Cabal Therapy/autocar... (see all)

The Deranged Assistant feels for you, Davvol.

Goes infinite with the thopter foundry+sword of the meek combo. Unfortunately for Davvol, that combo is good enough without him.
Don't worry Davvol, someday they'll print something that will break you.

I'm sure that there is some explanation to this in the novels (which I haven't read), but why is Davvol a slave here? In other cards (such as Attrition), he is the evincar.
