4.5/5. He really owns if you think about it. Lets hope you have a couple of poison counters going by turn 3, fly in swing for another counter, sac it, and there goes most likely the rest of their hand. Boom.

Whispering Specter + Vampire's Bite. Make him take four infect damage, and discard a minimum of four cards, plus however much infect damage you've done to him already. Maybe use Undying Evil with his sacrifice to bring him back as a 2/2 after you make your opponent discard. Then every Proliferate you do will make him more powerful.
I have a black aggro flying infect deck that uses instants that give power. Infect creatures are weak for their cost, but you're paying for double unhealable damage to players and permanent damage to creatures that weakens them on top of it. This doubles the effective damage increase of all power-increasing cards. A Vampire's Bite is effectively a +6/+0 for one black mana when used on an infect creature dealing combat damage to a player.
When I found out about Whispering Specter, I immediately bought a playable set online. This could be a useful hand-ad... (see all)

T1 Virulent Wound killing their 1 drop. 1 poison.
T2 Plague Stinger. 1 poison
T3 This. Swing with Stinger. 2 poison.
T4 Drop Liliana of the Veil. Swing both creatures and sac. 4 infect, 4 cards discarded. +1 Liliana. 5 cards discarded. Oh, there goes your hand for the rest of the game. GG

Re FoxofEmbers:
Instead of Liliana, how about
T4: Hand of the Praetors. Swing with pumped PS and WS for an additional 4 poison counters (total of 6). Sac WS. Opponent discards his entire hand.
T5: Opponent has 6 poison counters, likely no hand, and is facing a total of 5 infect power (2 in the air). Cast any infect creature or proliferate (maybe two on turn 5) to ratchet up the poison if necessary. GAME.
