This would make you sweat after having your hand pummeled by hymn to tourach mind twist duress thoughtseize etc.
The kind of deck you would play this in, the scenario would be your opponent has no hand, or you know exactly what is in their hand, you have been chipping their life... when they're down to 5 finish them off with this. Who cares what it costs, you win and they lose... it could leave me with 1 life, no hand, no perms, and put my whole deck in the GY. I still win.
I have a couple sideboarded for my suicide black hand control deck and it's a fun and useful card, albeit situational.

Totally awesome card! Art, flavor text, instant speed.
Restore Balance, anyone? Oblivion Ring your win condition? Greater Gargadon: for sure! Heck, this card even has synergy with Sandbar Crocodile and Taniwha!
So many ways to abuse this, I love it!

Ridiculous card in suicide black, it's version of Fireblast.

People seem pretty bitter over this card. They don't realize it's potential in black mill decks.

Love the flavor of this card. Hope black gets more "spite" effects in the future.

Fun with Kokusho. Swing for five, sac for five, then they lose five = 15dmg dealt and you gain five life. Instant speed, good finisher to just hang around until you need it. Plus the wording says, loses 5 life, that means it cant be prevented or redirected.
Also, it makes me laugh when I play it knowing I'm losing next turn anyways.

@natlrulupu: Yes, but only if you have Oblivion Ringed it prior to using this.
