I think this is the best creature ever printed.
And you really have to use it in a game to see just how good it is.
He has won me so many games just through pure card advantage.
Absolutely brilliant.
5/5

I'm a bit of a noob but I don't fully understand the high rating on this card... I mean I guess a player would be familiar with the cards in their deck enough to know what most of the converted mana costs would be, so as to not accidently pull a Darksteel Colossus or something and take a massive hit and I suppose in some cases you would lose no life (basic lands?) but this seems like it would only work well in very specific decks comprised of very low mana-cost cards.

I usually play any color or colors but black (most often red-blue), but am recently starting to think about getting into good old suicide black. This would definitely help with that. 5/5 for being perfectly balanced and yet rather powerful.

Can we all agree that this is both a powerful but also overated and overpriced card?
I can see the value in it through a deck building perspective. I cannot see how it's a 50 dollar card.

hm... well. I agree that drawing 2 cards per turn is fairly epic, and at 2 mana your going to be doing it for most of the game. But really, unless everything in your deck barely costs anything, you could be hitting yourself for a lot. Thus it is restricted to very specific types of decks (namely suicide black). And while it shines there, the limited use for it makes it not worth quite as much in my eyes. Paying 3 or so life wouldn't be that bad, but paying say, 6 or so for one of your bombs late game could easily kill you, especially sense you've been paying small amounts of life for most of the game.

@Gilgamesh3000:
I would hesitate before saying "of course"... this is a creature, and those are enchantments. It's really a whole 'nother ball game...
All in all, I think this is worth 4.5 stars, because the only things I give five stars to are the utterly broken ones.
