Highly recommended for any Devour deck that makes use of either Black or "Mana of any color" cards, along with Hissing Iguanar.

I once had two of these guys out and took down two of my opponents creatures along with one of mine (not a Deathgreeter). Six life always feels good.

The only non-zombie creature in my zombie deck. Its nice to sacrifice everything to a nantuko husk or carrion feeder, dealing damage with a vengeful dead and gaining life in the process. Then, next turn everything gets alphetto dredging-ed and I get to do it again!

How does this work when there is greeter and 2 other cards and someone uses a day of judgment upon them? Does his effect still work?

This guy is great. He only costs 1 blue, witch os great, so you can drop him on go 1.
There are plenty of ways he is useful, for example black decks when you have to sacrifice lots of creatures for numerous purposes, you end up gaining some life from it!
I think of him kinda like Soul Warden's brother (1 white, "When a creature comes into play gain 1 life"), and notise that it says A creature, so that it doesn't matter who's creature is being destroyed.
So although you are not going to make a deck for the entire purpose of laying him, I would throw one or two into a black deck!
They're cheap, fast, a speed bump for big things, artwork is great, it even has some kick-ass flavour text!
So what have you got to lose!

He has a hot body. And I do like that he's like an evil Soul Warden.
I love this card! It works great in my mono-black lifegain deck. I can usually get a couple of them on the battlefield at the same time, and the opponent only views them as gnats to be ignored (considering that I have Vampire Nighthawks out, too)--but then I start slinging Consuming Vapors, Tendrils of Corruption, and Geth's Verdicts. These little guys have gained tons of life for me.

You just know this guy has Goodbye Horses playing in the background.

Elemental mastary exiles the tokens afterwards, so it won't combo off of this.
Nice try, though.
You still gain the life. See 603.6d in the comprehensive rules.

OK card, though...
