Look you can see Repentant Vampire's elbow.

I don't see how kicking someone in the face is gallantry...

Righteousness has this card all kinds of beat.

@mrredhatter All I see is a foot, no elbows.

I'd pick this over righteousness. This boost is usually still enough, and it replaces itself.

@midnightvenom - Take a look at Repentant Vampire. You'll be able to see the chick's hand in the upper-right corner; moving the 'camera' about 180 degrees will give you this shot.

In other words, the lower left corner is where the vamp's elbow is located.

Kill their creature and draw a card. Usually, they're not expecting it.

The difference between cantrip and no-cantrip is huge, especially since the decks that care about blocking tend also to care about card advantage. I wish they'd reprint this.

Clearly she's been watching Walker; Texas Ranger as much as I watch Law and Order SVU

1C mana cost cantrips feel like cheating, since the basic rule says add 2 to mana to effect's cost to make it cantrip.

It's a two-mana cantrip that will very often kill one of their creatures. I don't see why this isn't rated higher -- are people missing the fact that it's a cantrip?

I'd take this over Righteousness any day. Honestly, +4/+4 is usually enough, and potentially killing your opponent's best attacker while gaining card advantage is hugely useful.

It's difficult to imagine many situations in which you're sad casting this card (at least in limited). At least it replaces itself if they have removal for the creature it targets. I wish more tricks did this.

MaRo just kind of confirmed on Blogatog this is a reference to Buffy.
