It works well in B/R aggro. Drop it on turn three or later, use it to grab something off the top of your library, swing in the next turn with the benefit of whatever extra thing you drew.

Oh, if only you were a zombie. Then my (standard) zombie tribal deck would be fantastic.

In the old art he's got a blue dude by the throat. Does anyone know who or what that blue dude is?

I use this in a deck with some lifelink so I can gain back the life lost to this card and the two mana black card draw. This card is awesome with Dark Ritual, although not my first choice for turn one but you gotta play what you gotta play.

Beautiful art is beautiful.
The recent horrors (especially this set) have struck gold art-wise. Either way, this guy is efficient as he's a cantriping 2/2 at a cost that's reasonable. Compare to Man-O'-War for a nice tempo-vs.-card advantage comparison.
They're both good, but tempo/control is obviously a tiny bit more attractive :D (oddly enough, it's the blue card that is tempo and the black card that is card advantage)

Does anyone else note how appropriate the flavor text is for a reprint?
