Hired Poisoner gets Afterlife 1 and 1 toughness for 1. It's... okay, I guess, definitely good in Limited, but not sure if it's valuable enough to justify the bump to Uncommon. If anything, this almost seems more like an Spectacle enabler as it's most definitely never getting blocked ever.
So far Afterlife seems very underwhelming. I was expecting it to be used as an excuse to push Aristocrats and overall saccing goodness, but we still need a good payoff for it akin to Maw of the Obzedat... hell, I kinda expect a Maw reprint considering how well it works with Afterlife.

I have to disagree. Hired Poisoner was already one of the better commons and 1 extra toughness means it can also wall tokens making it quite the defensive creature. The difference between 1 and 2 mana isn't that big in limited (except when talking about instants) so I would say that it is already a step up from Hired Poisoner. I played Thrill-Kill Assassin as a 1/2 most of the time in limited even when I was rakdos. On top of that it gets a 1/1 flyer on death. Compared to Martyr of Dusk one of the top commons from Rivals. Seeing as how this has both a better body and better token, I can't imagine it ever being printed at common.
I even think it has a chance at constructed. It's great for gumming up the board and then going over the top.
