This card is highly abuseable. I give this card 50/50 on being on the next legacy ban list. Honestly wizards is not even trying any more about being mindful about eternal formats. This is very dangourly close to a power 9 card in the legacy format. This thing is going to feed turn 3 jaces and other silly plays. Just imaging chaining these with an active jace with snap casters noxious revivals and brainstorms.
The flipside is the INSANE synergy with Exhume and Animate Dead. Exhume this demon fucker and you'll probably be up at 18 maybe 17 life. You can draw fourteen cards 0_0. What's better, causing your opponent to flush 4-5 cards or drawing an extra seven?
Also, 7/7 flying lifelink is going to dominate the board. If your opponent attacks into it...you get to draw seven more cards. Untap, fly over attack, draw seven more. Exhume or Animate a sphinx of the steel wind for more life gain...
Straight retarded.
I think losing 15 life is worth basically outright winning the game most of the time--and the guy does have Lifelink, so you don't even need to draw the cards until you need them or are otherwise out of Harm's Way. But I'm not a reanimator player, so I can't say I'm an authority on the right cards for the deck.
Also you get 7 lives of it when they sword to plowshares it.
That is the biggest issue, though the good thing is the drawing is completely optional. If it doesn't die then you can attack and gain 7 life and if they have removal then Jin would have died just as well, so no harm no foul but the option to draw right away is a pretty big plus.
I haven't played enough Legacy to know if it's better than Jin.
And... Personal Tutors are flying off the shelves. I have no money at the moment, so I just picked up some foil Noxious Revivals instead. If you can get Personal Tutors cheap, do it.
Oh, and...

We have an art for her though. I think her name was Koira?
Anyway, "soratami" was the first thing that came to mind because they had white skin (like, bone-white), white hair, and big floppy ear things that came out of their foreheads and usually arced back over their heads. That art appears to have something similar, anyway, but it's hard to tell because of how it's cropped.
hmm Demonic Taskmaster doenst say you have to sacrifice it if its the only creature.
4/3 for 2b flying without a drawback as long as you dont have any other creatures.
Ritual aggro maybe!
I guess the real question is if this brainfart of a card will be preemptively banned, or if it will make the format a complete joke for a short amount of time.

Here's the preview article. He really doesn't say much.
Completely stupid. I'm sitting on a crapload of Personal Tutors and just ate a bunch of playsets once the card spoiled. Going to profit from this, but this card still pisses me off.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
They let Flash destroy the format for a GP despite getting plenty of warning that it would do so.
They also let Mental Misstep ravage the format for several months, though they apparently completely missed how that one would be used.
So who knows. But my money would be on Legacy being shitty for several months until they ban some combination of Brainstorm, Top, and/or Personal Tutor.
