Hmmm.... Good effect, but really pricey. It'd also be pretty hard for the effect to do much in a white deck (as opposed to green/black Dredge).

A nice card in the wrong color

I find him useful in soldier decks where I end up losing lots of soldiers fast early on, plus all the instants and sorceries that I burn through.

Overcosted for what it does.

This is not overcosted for it's rarity. You can get a 4/4 First Strike for 4W. The gain life for each card in your graveyard for 1W is reasonable as well. I would just never run this in a mono white deck.

I believe this card would be useful for some kind of combo or trick deck. With the right graveyard and the right amount of bounce, you can easily gain 30+ life. This card is good card advantage in that sense. Just think about it: how many other cards have the amount of life gain potential that this card has? The only card that I can think of off the top of my head would be Beacon of Immortality. And even that has it's flaws (It doesn't help much when you're at low hp and isn't attached to a 4/4 body).

I always thought he looked like Jim Carrey.

Really really fun with four Mesmeric Orb, unless you die from getting decked the very next turn. :(

Still, those who have a playset of Orb, try it! It's awesome fun.

One of the best Dread Return targets in dredge. Every dredge deck should have a copy on the sideboard.

I'd only touch it if i was running an Edgewalker or two

I'd like to see any one of these little stinkers calling this guy overcosted beat him in a fight.

I henceforth name you Shiney butt sticks Mcgee

Why is there flavor text listed when there's none on the card?

You know something's good when it's a mini-Archangel's Light.
