This card (with the unused Mirrodin Pure expansion symbol) and Suture Priest were special promotional cards at the Mirrodin Besieged game day for the top faction-aligned decks, in much the same way that Peace Strider and Pierce Strider were special promotional cards at the Scars of Mirrodin game day.
The game day version is not exactly the same, due to the unique expansion symbol, but there are in fact players with this card out there right now.

Handy in limited versus aggro or in any extended match but yah, the 3 cmc really kills it.

Underrated. Not only is the life-gain a mana-source for your phyrexian mana spells, but it makes your ajani's pridemate stronger too. With the soul sisters decks having lost the warden a while ago and looking at losing the attendant pretty soon, this is a very solid pick.

Seems odd that one of the few remaining Mirran relics is great at powering out Phyrexian mana...

Use in an Ageless Entity deck, where you need the mana ramping and periodic lifegain

Hmm, although the 1 life seems quite small, maybe this will be more useful with the new phyrexian mana symbols? Almost like adding one and a half mana to your mana pool. XD

I really love the art on this card! And the flavor text seems cool too.

I wish i could have got one from the Besieged game day tournament...

4/5

It's hard to justify playing a mana stone that cost three and only taps for 1. If I'm playing casual, I'd rather use the added acceleration of Worn Powerstone: the extra speed will make up for the absence of life gain.
