4.5/5. Consume Spirit for 1 (which costs 3 mana) every time a creature dies and or himself? Who cares if he is 0/1, I wouldn't swing with a weenie with that good of an ability anyways in fear of losing him in battle.

This is absolutely useful in Limited, and may even see some use in token decks. But man, that art...holy crap. Johannes Voss has outdone himself.

Great card, I didn't fully appreciate the value of this guy until I put him in my standard RB burn aggro deck. Hellrider + Thatcher Revolt + Blood Artist = Mucho Damage

This is significantly better than Suture Priest. With Suture Priest your opponent will never lose life from your creatures, with Blood Artist every creature can drain your opponent a bit. Stuff needs to die, but it's easy to build a deck in which stuff dying is a wincon on it's own.
Suture doesn't finish off your opponent, Blood Artist does so in a big way. I can't count the number of games I've won by boardwiping myself to a sac engine.

Style oozes from this card. It's a self-portrait of Johannes Voss painting Curse of Oblivion. All that's left of Jana Schirmer, his "co-artist", is in those little cups! Call 911!

That art makes my skin crawl. In the best way possible.

That's a highly annoying card in multiplayer. It also dies there easily. If you have a combo allowing you to sac a creature over and over, this guy is a win condition. I don't think though that he is worth beeing slapped into random decks.

Incredibly annoying to play against. It comes down early and makes you pay through a lot of the game. The life gain means it's safe for the opponent to not block with it and using removal or bounce on a 0/1 kinda feels like a waste. Overlook it at your own peril.

Hoping to make a nice FNM deck with this and Falkenrath Noble abusing Thatcher Revolt...
