Well, as we all know, paying life to draw card is usually a good thing!

Mind over Matter is convinced this is Necropotence.

This sounds like it should be the name of a Netrunner card.

A lot of players in my draft group don't seem to believe me when I tell them how good this card is. In most games, if I get this guy out early, I overwhelm them with raw card advantage. And since Rakdos and Golgari are both aggressive creature-based guilds, the life payment is rarely relevant.

It's a poor man's Phyrexian Arena. Good stuff. Costs you a land and 1 life, but you get an extra card. 4.5/5

It's actually not strictly worse than phyrexian arena because it has interactions with things like arbor elf and Garruk. Also, you don't have to do the ability if you don't want to. In a small percentage of games, the forced life loss from phyrexian arena would kill you. That draw back was the only thing that justified a card that powerful. This doesn't have that drawback. Of course, it essentially costs 1 to activate. However, it's not strictly worse thanphyrexian arena and is very good.
