Well look at it this way: by turn five your opponent probably only has like 2 cards in his or her hand, so you only have to pay 2 life!

Why is he not like 4/4 intimidate or something? That still wouldn't be overpowered. 1/3 is just bad. Sure, you can get some life back with Extort, but that is too slow.

How come no one is pointing out you can pay any amount of life, one can abuse this with fateful hour with type 2 or at least a Death's Shadow. It can go into a glass cannon deck I suppose.

Terrible card, but one of the most Orzhov cards there is. Human (majorit subtype on Orzhov watermarked cards), life draining (the most popular ability of Orzhov watermarked cards, thanks to Extort), and causes discard, through an exiling manner, which is another Orzhov thing. But... Such a terrible card!

@vantha the days of a 1/3 body costing WB for an uncommon are long gone. You'd be expecting something like a 1/6 or 2/2 death touch.

This guy has real value in Commander, especially in an Oloro, Ageless Ascetic deck. You're gaining life every turn anyway so 6 or 7 life to access all the cards in an opponent's hand isn't that steep a price. And he has extort which Oloro loves.
