Turn 1: Swamp, Vault Skirge
Turn 2: Swamp, Duty-Bound Dead, Unholy Strength, swing with flying 4/3 with lifelink.

Now THAT is how you start a game of pauper.

Removing a single low cost creature is usually pretty dumb, or usually a net win for the owner of the creature if you're forced to remove it. Most of the times this card makes efficient damage that helps out the rest of your deck. Heck it's a great way to deal with removal and counterspells too.

Nice with any pump really. He'll net you your life back or cost them a kill spell. He's versatile as a 1 or a 2-drop, making your deck have a smoother curve and netting you tempo for life when you need it. Consider him in graft, modular, with unspeakable symbol, painsmith, or any other free, repeatable/permanent buffs. It really adds up quickly as he gains you evasive damage and life. Even a single swing is a 2 point life swing, which isn't bad on a one-drop who's evasive.

He beats flying men variants by a mile because of his utility and difficulty to kill against fellow black decks.

I run Affinity in Modern because I'm an asshole, so this has happened for me before:

Turn 1: Darksteel Citadel, Mox Opal, Signal Pest, Vault Skirge (take 2), Memnite, Ornithopter.
Turn 2: Darksteel Citadel, Cranial Plating, equip to Vault Skirge, swing for 13, gain 10.

Hard to beat a 21-life advantage on turn 2. This guy owns.

Pretty sick 1 drop. Gets rude with Cranial Plating.

@endosiris: It dies to Ultimate Price though, funnily enough.

Probably my favorite 1drop flier for Blue. Evasive and on the hard side to remove, being both Black and an artifact. A great target for Shielding Plax and whatever buffs you can stick on it.
