This card is pretty bad. There are enough black cards that draw for less life loss. Bloodgift Demon, the infinitely better Phyrexian Arena, Underworld Connections,sign in blood, etc. With this, you better plan on winning by turn 5 or 6 without the opponent hitting you.

Very good card for tournaments. In casual this will kill you within 4 or 5 turns. That said, 5 stars. Its just not the kind of card I'm interested in.
Also, why Ancestral Vision is banned in modern and this isn't, I'll never know.

Really good, but good in the way Chrome Mox is -- that is to say, he's situational. In certain decks he's absolutely amazing, but there are lots of decks which try to force him in when he doesn't belong. A great contender for 'most powerful two-drop creature' that is actually balanced (unlike Tarmogoyf)

you take no damage for lands, that's what really sold me this card...
unfortunetly my black deck has many high cost creatures (for the sake of discarding and reanimation and such) and prefers to just dump cards off the top of my deck into my graveyard than draw.
so I don't think I'll get to play this awesome card anytime soon.
a friend showed me this card all upset that it was a rare he pulled from a booster pack, unfortunetly I was unable to keep my composition and immediatly revealed to him the greatness of this card.
he just kinda raised an eyebrow and said "I knew you'd like it" and gave it to me!

when i get my friends into magic, i know they are starting to get good when they notice things in my binder like force of will, noble hierarch, and dark confidant and say "wow these cards are amazing!"

Kind of a skilltest card, although not in the way of "if you play this you're bad" kind of skilltest. This is the arguably the best two drop creature ever printed, and definitely in the top three, yet it's not a broken card, so many players greatly underevaluate how good it is.
