personally, i'm not sure it's good enough to de-throne nether spirit in hard-ball grindy pox, but the fact that it's a self-recurring 2 power 1 drop is relevant. it would be infinitely better if it was a cheaper recur mana wise or was instant speed, or could come back untapped at the 'cost' of being a 2 drop, but i'm at least thinking it could be worth looking at.
A 2/1 for 3 cmc that can BLOCK?! Damn shame it's not instant speed, otherwise, it'd be the best card since Nether Spirit. I'm in on this thing. It's like hard casting Nether Spirit from your GY and with sniping backup from Cursed Scroll, should be able to kill anything you need so Innocent Blood/Pox/Liliana can sac the fatty. 1 cast-from-hand CMC for 2 power is a good thing as well.
