I'm not very impressed with this card. I don't see the advantage OR disadvantage of having both players lose 3 life. It doesn't really shift the game state much. I guess it's nice if you have a good health lead on your opponent and it give you some reach, but other than that, it's kind of meh.

I'd much rather pay 1 less mana and put a vampire nighthawk onto the table

Helps get your opponent's life below 10 so you stop getting pinged by your Vampire Lacerator or to gain other abilities triggered by the 10 life threshold.

If you're aggressively attacking on a Black Suicide deck then losing three life is fine. Or if you have a lifegain deck. Either way, a 3/3 flyer in black for 4 is pretty good. I like this card. I think it's underrated.

pulling that last card, hoping it'll turn the game around...
then you find that you'd wipe yourself out... congrats
