Well, it's a 1/4 with no downsides with an added ability. Seems very similar to Basilica Guards though. It's ability is black only and cost two more, but you can use it anytime and the creature doesn't have defender. Looks like a good trade-off.
I like this a lot. But I am partial to Black and White. Nice hat.
Find her attractive too... hmmm.
I think I just discovered something about my preferences.

Clerics are slowly making a comeback onto cards these days.

A tragic loss of flavor. She's supposed to be interrogating the dead, but we get nothing to do with creature's dying or any sort of Scry effect.

Interesting card. A repeatable Extort seems like it could be amazingly good, especially in multiplayer, obviously.

Keep laughing. This will put serious pressure on when the topdecking starts to happen. Just sit there and steal 2 to 3 life per turn as they desperately search for an answer.

Oh snap, that's Temple of Silence in the background.... Does that mean I now have to examine the entire visual spoiler for Theros to see if there's a art-based cycle? Yes, yes I do. Curse my Vorthos-ness, I should be doing my homework....
This card will really come into its own in commander.

As opposed to unpointed questions of the dead?

From first-hand experience, this card is a workhorse in 2HG. A great use for leftover mana at the end of their turn in a format where you're likely to have lots of it.

Has worked wonders in my white splashing black mana commander deck. Quite easily a repeatable 3 or 4 points of life sap at the end of turn. Waiting for Athreos itself.

By both Spike and Vorthos standards, very close in use to Orzhov Guildmage.
If you're deck is 2-colored or base-White, I'd say Scholar is your better card.
If you like hoods and cloaks or you're going 3-5 Colored, pick the easy cast Hybrid. :)

Seems particularly well-costed for the ability. Blocks well while STILL eating opponents, and starts doing nasty things in the late game.

...Nope, Agent of Horizons and Priest of Iroas don't have Temple of Mystery and Temple of Triumph (respectively) in their art. And I'm assuming that Born of the God's Temple of Izzet and Temple of Golgari won't match the generic looking backgrounds of Crackling Triton and Loathsome Catoblepas. Bah! Missed opportunity.
