Strictly less compleated than Vault Skirge.

I'd picked up 4 of these @ 10¢ ea., a cheap 1/1 flier...
Put 1 in my G/B constructed deck in the event of 1/1 flying tokens, with a little something of it's own if the tokens don't show.
2nd game against this one guy, it showed up in opening hand.
Turn 2- Daggerdrome Imp
Turn 3- Nothing else to do, play Dark Favor (another 10¢ card), swing for 4, I gain 4 life minus 1 for Dark Favor. A 7 point spread.
Turn 4 swing for 4 again, I gain 4 life. Another 8 point spread.
It wasn't until turn 5 that my opponent managed to do anything about it. By then Imp had opened a 15 point spread he never recovered from.
Ya, maybe Vault Skirge was better, but it's not presently Standard legal.
Ya, maybe it's easy to kill, but my opponent had seen some of my other critters and had to be asking himself if he wanted to spend one of his burn spells on this innocent-looking little 1/1 flier, or save it for something like Deathrite Shaman or Dreg Mangler/au... (see all)

@scribebat
That's funny how he couldn't deal with it until turn five

GILBIC. Therefore 2-3 stars out of five.

Bog Imp cries himself to sleep now.

Obvious comparison to Vault Skirge. In exchange for no Phyrexian option and no artifact typing, you get...no artifact typing. Skirge is probably better on the whole, given that artifact hate isn't THAT common, especially not maindeck.

Not sure if this is playable, but I think pros like lotsofpoopy can make it work.

Agree with @.Blaze. Watered-down Vault Skirge. Still a good card, but it's been done better.

Obviously inferior to cute lil' Vault Skirge 90% of the time, but still a decent card, especially in Limited. Scavenge a guy or two onto him and he becomes a real back breaker.

As has already been mentioned, this is one of the better Scavenge targets. A cheap attacker helps if you're going to be spending a whole lot of mana anyway for Scavenge.
