This guy is awesome in reanimator, multiplayer in general and even more awesome with any kind of combo that involves sac'ing a dude. PLAY THIS CARD! (plus its a common...go go black soul warden...sorta)

Everybody tells me it's a useless card and not to waste my time with it. I kind of have to agree. When I used him in MTGO, it was pretty much just a minor prolonging of the inevitable of that particular deck, there were better cards that I should have used instead.

Good combo for offsetting bitterblossom's life loss. If your enemy has a way to remove the faerie tokens, you gain the life you spent on them back.

Soul Warden's evil twin!

He's definitely not the worst option for a 1 mana black creature, but there's better options. 3/5.

Regarding flavour, i also love this card as counterpart to Soul Warden or Essence Warden.

On top of that, it's a simple one-drop that requires no further mana for the lifegain.
He's still a thousand times better than Grim Feast (although that's not a hard thing to do), a lot cheaper than Moonlit Wake and still rather superior to Soul Net.

Does every colour have a soul warden now?

Heheh, I see this and think of mirroden hacks: 2 Myr Retrievers and an Ashnod's Altar with this makes infinite life. Alternatively, though, it makes Disciple of the Vault infinite death, which is usually preferable, by they make for a nice counterpart.

Manipulate a deck around this and you can last for as long as it takes to drop those cabal coffers and drain away.

Yeah, but Soul/Essence Warden would do the same thing. the Disciple is intriguing tho, that would make a good deck if the Disciple wasn't a restricted card.

This guy is great with Vampire Aristocrats and other sac abilities. Helps fuel Savra quite nicely.

Throw him in with a deck using Kitchen Finks, Essence Warden, Soul Warden, (insert sac engine of choice), and Quillspike, and the life gain is just hilarious.
Not to mention, this pretty guy here is amazing in a black sac (no puns) deck.

@ DacenOctavio
Tokens are creatures and are sent to the graveyard. They just get removed from the game as a state based action. This DOES work just as Darth said.
Warp World mentions tokens and how they get shuffled into your library then cease to exist. Only card I can think of right now that mentions it, but they are permanents that go to the graveyard before getting removed from the game...

Edit:
looked through the rules, here you go
110.5e A token that's phased out, or that's in a zone other than the battlefield, ceases to exist. This is a state-based action; see rule 704. (Note that if a token changes zones, applicable triggered abilities will trigger before the token ceases to exist.)

The zone change is all this guy cares about.

I think this is at least a 4, its great for any decks running black mana and like mentioned, a killer in multiplayer with Soul Warden, etc. People may not want to waste their time getting rid of a 1/1 creature sometimes, and these can be devasting after a few turns or played in multiples.

lol- looks like Voldemort from the Musical version. (If you haven't seen the musical version of Harry Potter, your life is noticeably less full of awesome. It's a parody, so both fans and haters of original HP can appreciate it)

Ladies and gentlemen, I've finally found my one-drop for Dragon Appeasement. Powered by Brood Birthing and Rapacious One.
