ChristmanEric pointed out something I hadn't thought of - put it on a good creature so the opponent will have to make a tough choice about whether they want to Lightning Bolt it.

Good card in something like a sac creature/soul exchange kinda deck.
Certainly one of the best from homelands.
Edit: Oh snap, it isn't from homelands at all. I was looking at two cards at once and got confused. It still isn't a bad card though.

If you put it on an opponent's creature, you'll still have to find a way to kill it, and if you have to use a removal spell to do that, that means you've spent two cards to draw two cards, which nets you zero. However, it's not a bad way to make your opponent think twice before removing one of your creatures.

Sure you can sac that eldrazi spawn. I don't mind a bit

Compare to a card like Bequeathal, or Skullclamp. I do like how black the flavor is, though, and the discard could prove useful (for example, in reanimator decks).

Best on your own creatures that you planned on killing anyways. Essentially a slower Altar's Reap that gets an extra card.
Also you have to provide your own sac outlet but honestly, it can't be that hard to find one. Just ram it into your opponent's creatures.
