Interesting pinger...If you set it up right this could be useful, but better pingers exist...

A tiny pinprick of damage that allows your opponent to hurt you isn't going to give you the upper hand in a duel. Neither will a tapped creature.

I like the witches. They are a good creature(s) in a controlling black deck. I don't mind if my opponent pings me when I can take out their utility guys at the end of their turn. Go and search for black creatures for CMC 2 and toughness at least 3: You find creatures with mild to harsh drawbacks (and/or being more aggro oriented). An exception to the rule would be Wall of Souls.

Fun in multiplayer.
Oracle gives them as Humans. A questionable type choice, but probably defendable.
Sexy pair.

I was shocked, when after reading the ability, I found out that their toughness wasn't 1. I was completely expecting such from a black pinger. Also, the white girl has 6 fingers.

Use Leyline of Sanctity and Spiritual Asylum. Now your opponent has to ping their own stuff or themselves.

Good card, just make sure not to include any 1 toughness creatures, unless its Black Cat

Ebony and Ivory
Together for Eternity

At absolute worst it's a 1/3 for 2, which is actually pretty good for how old it is, and repeatable removal is always good. I like em.
