This is black card draw at its second best. Phyrexian arena is better.

What's so cool about this is that it can kill without attacking by doing 2 at the opponents turn. Think of it as a very overcosted blaze in black...

This card is the predecessor of Bloodgift Demon, and both are very similar.
This gets an additional +1/+1 but suffers without flying. Bloodgift only allows one draw per round of turns, but you choose who gets the card and the target loses 1 life.
Personally, I'd say "F**k it" and include both in a deck along side Font of Mythos, Graveborn Muse, Howling Mine, Underworld Dreams and obviously, Phyrexian Arena... and Yawgmoth's Bargain, if you're feeling particularly evil and don't give a s**t about rules.
Yeah, screw you EDH. Whatever, Whatever, I'll do what i want!

Black Group Hug deck?
The draws given to your opponent are supposedly balanced by Seizan's low casting cost, but you're still giving them cards... An interesting, political creature that could convince opponents to keep you alive to keep up the card draw - quite a rare thing in 
.

It's an interesting card to play with or to play against. On one hand, if my opponent draws it, I am usually pretty psyched to draw two extra cards. If I have some removal for him, that's just icing on the cake.
However, this is an IDEAL situation; the more common gamestate is that I am hoping that I'll draw something to help me kill this thing. Seizan puts everyone on a rather definite clock, and it does so for no extra mana. If you have used aggressive black weenies to whittle down your opponent's life total, then dropping this guy offers the possibility of finishing him/her off without ever having to attack again, for no additional mana investment.

The trick would be putting him onto the battlefield after your opponent's upkeep then saccing it at the end of your turn. Only way I can think of right now is with Chainer, Dementia Master.
@Boakes: you'd have to do that at the begining of your turn. Not sure if possible.

T1 Kederekt Parasite
T2 Tibalt, 1 damage
T3 Underworld Dreams, 2 damage
T4 Spiteful Visions, 4 damage, -4 tibalt for ~4-7 damage
T5 Seizan, 9 damage
That's 20-23 in a perfect curve in a fun little deck.
