Is -1/-1 enough ? I've noticed a lot of creatures that would have been played before this one would be curve creatures and 2/2 or larger.

If i made it -2/-2 i would have to make the imp bigger 2/3 or 3/3 for it to survive, or maybe add a "Other creatures" clause but that seems a bit odd in black imo.

by Camruth:

As it is you could potentially get away with this at Common. It would have to be tested, but it isn't overpowering - a 2/2 flyer for {1} {b} {b} that COULD have an extra effect IF you draw it at the right time, and that effect hits itself as well.

Will be testing, drawback will be it kills itself but a bigger effect.

Cackling Imp already exists.

by Alex:

Reminiscent of Gloomdrifter. (Which was quite bad, so don't feel you have to take the power level that low.) But it's not actually that similar. It's more a Wind Drake that randomly turns into Infest on turn 3. And turn 3 isn't when you normally want to cast Infest. Infest effects are normally uncommon, though, as that's quite an effective board sweeper in limited.
