Reprint of Imaginary Pet and another lost card form the Urza Block. While Imaginary Pet obviously matches well with Hellbent, it also does double-duty with Wisdom, providing you a 4/4 blocker that will return to your hand in a sort of 'reverse Viashino Sandstalker' way.
One of my all-time favourite decks is built around Imaginary Pet. The main combo is with Spawnbroker, but it also works awesomely with Halcyon Glaze, Azorius Aethermage, and a whole bunch of other random things. And yes, I often do spend a couple of early-game turns playing it as a temporary blocker when I don't have anything else to use the 2 mana on.
