The first draft archetype uncommon is... just full of keyword abilities, isn't it?
I don't get this card's purpose. Flash is an archetype in that color pairing, sure. Bloodthirst seems pointless though. Unless there would be black cards specifically dealing damage to players and not life loss, which isn't the normal run of things, you'd only want to cast this on your turn (barring multiplayer). If I'm casting this on my own turn, why would I need flash? I'd rather just draft a removal spell (which is probably cheaper) than play this for
, assuming I have a Keeper of the Pewter Bell out. This reminds of how I think some draft archetypes are hints to not draft that color pairing.
I have not the slightest idea what to do with this card. Both potential draft signpost uncommons I inherited for this set are bad at being draft signpost cards, but this one might just be bad at being a card.
Maybe I should make more cards like Plundering Mwizi and exchange life loss for damage?
