When I compare this to my beloved deadly recluse, I cry. Apparently B buys you +1/+1, flying (over reach), and lifelink. I know its in black not green but still...

Too. Good.
I mean, how come this is not a rare? I ve just come from a draft with one this guy and whenever I pulled it out, it was basically game over! Three mana two three would make a great common flier and with lifelink its just impossible to race. When I attacked with it for the first time I thought "ok, two damage and two life for three mana - this guy has just done enough to justify itself" and then I happily attacked with it for the rest of the game. And deathtouch? Really? Come on. We have a three mana guy that destroys pretty much everything that isnt a Baneslayer angel.
A nice tournament card, but at uncommon, it crushes any Limited environment. I cant think of any uncommon this powerful, it s stronger than Inceremental Blight, stronger than Shriekmaw, stronger than Rhox War Monk, its just ridiculous.

This will easily be the most sought-after uncommon in zendikar. I pulled one in my prerelease and I couldn't believe my eyes. Its even better than kitchen finks, and in a vampire deck....I could only imagine how horrible it could be against the opponent. It could win the game all by itself.

People will be reminiscing about this one for years to come. It works in any black deck, and serves as a painful reminder to your opponent that their biggest creatures can all be foiled for a simple 3 mana, and lifegain is a nice bonus. 5/5

Let me say further that this card is just terrific for old-school Mono Black Control/Aggro-Control type decks because of its versatility.
That is to say, it's almost filling a removal slot (Smother/Diabolic Edict/whatever) and a creature slot at the same time. Even without the deathtouch to block Tarmogoyfs, the fact that it's 2/3 instead of 2/2 would make it beat a lot of stuff at a similar cost.
Mana Curve shmana curve ... I run both 4 of this guy and 4 Hypnotic Specters (and 4 Dark Ritual, naturally) in my legacy-casual Monoblack Control deck. Everyone hates me, obviously. :)))

Broken. Sick and broken.
And it's UNCOMMON!

Power creep indeed.
I also agree with the mention of lightning bolt vs shock. Printing a card like this causes people to, for a long time after its printing, feel unhappy with the alternatives. That's how power creep spirals get set in motion.

A couple people mentioned slapping grappling hook and such on it, and the opponent requiring at, least 3 creatures to kill it. This is not the case, since the new death touch rule, he could kill his power worth of blockers in the first strike damage. 3 will not be enough, sadly, in these situations...

the zendiar block really messed up the rankings on rares and uncommons.easily a rare
this card is always problamatic to opponents. 5\5..maybe on the last release in the block
a rare will be a rare..am i the only one that thinks worldwake is total crap? o well..
