Not great. A combined cost of four for that effect simply isn't playable.

One mana for a 1/1, three mana for a coercion. Seems fairly priced to me.

This is one of the staple creatures used in Recurring Nightmare decks. Repeated Coercion is deadly against slower decks.

3.5 simply for the flavor text

I find the card ok, would like to make a Thrull-Deck someday...

It says Thrull Surgeon, not Thrull Barber.

@LunarBlade: Difficult to run in constructed, yes, but massively playable in Shirei EDH.

Look:
-He's tutorable/wishable in G/B with multiple cards. Sorceries don't get that luxury; and the cards to use them cost more dough
-He hits anything. The fact you can hit a land T3 with no accel can mana-screw a player. Look at their hand and if everything costs 3 or more, nuke a land.
-He's recurrable. Sounds odd, but an Unearth on this guy + 2 more mana means you nail yet another important card.
-He can beat on them for 1 per turn until you're ready; which means he's also *never a dead card.* He can be pretty useless; but that's better than *totally useless* which is what most discard is passed about T4.
-He's a thrull, so specifically with Soul Exchange he can be useful for getting buffed fat.
