This is really... interesting. At first blush, it looks like junk. Second blush too. But it's a common 2/2 flier in a color that typically gets 1 toughness fliers at common. It's also a SHADE that starts a bit large, which is also significant. Aside from that, I hate paying more than one black for the +1/+1.
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during this design meeting. There are other flying shades, and this new card required them to commission/pay an artist to create it! Someone felt pretty strongly about this card!

Strictly WORSE than Chimney Imp...it doesn't combo with Boggart Fodder.
Actually, pretty bad, except for with Training Grounds...but then again, that combos with EVERYTHING!!!!!!! However, this was my first ever foil, so I feel I would be too nice when I rate this card, so I won't
But please, when you do, take into account that comborific ability of Chimney Imp

This or Nantuko Shade? Think I'll drop them both and play Nether Horror in my Mono Black Control deck...

It is worth noting that this Shade's ability is considerably easier on your manabase, and thus, splashable.
There's probably better things for X/B decks to do at 5 mana, but it might be interesting.
