Amusing - a 1/1 for B that causes life loss. Why not?

This card is only symmetrical if you never attack with it. It's much better than it seems, it essentially adds at leas two damage to your Gempalm Polluters.

There are few enough of these (i.e., 1-mana 1/1s with ETB effects) that they form a tight cycle:

Cathedral Sanctifier
Sage of Epityr or Merrow Witsniper
Maggot Carrier
Forge Devil
Elvish Pioneer
