Oh hey, it's like a colorshifted Flesh Reaver - makes sense.
This is again a scenario where the card's rarity seems questionable. It doesn't technically hit any sort of red-flag from what I can see, but it the very least seems kinda... 'swingy' don't you think? Say, if you have 3 of these on board which isn't hard to say when it costs so little and is a common, life totals for both sides might change by up to 12 points, so over 50% percent. I even shudder to think of a mirror match of shorts where both have copies of these.
It's swingy whether it's for your benefit or against you as obviously the card has a hefty drawback. I by no means think is too powerful, more so the opposite in fact, but it does to me seem too 'impactful' of a card to generate 'healthy' gameplay scenarios when it's set to appear with such frequency in limited.
