A pretty decent common, epecially with Undergrowth and Afterlife in Standard.

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
Not a bad card in limited if you’re walkers are at 1 and being attacked or if your opponent is about to kill one of your creatures. Heck, I remember winning some grindy games by casting altar’s reap in response to a removal spell and while this isn’t exactly the same, the fact that it’s repeatable is pretty good.
Yeah... it wouldn't be so bad if WOTC didn't beat you over the head with explainations mid one-liner. "Unstoppable fighters created to harvest souls" is the least smooth way they could have written this.

A worse Vampiric Rites on a stick. Sure, you get a 2/3 body for 3 mana - and that's probably all it will be used for. I guess you could always sac it to itself if it was going to die anyway.
Given that it's Kaya who's saying this...I think it's kind of funny flavor text. Because she's one of them. Except maybe she's not rude about it.
The card itself is decent enough; 2B for 2/3 with an upside of cashing in a worn out uncommon walker or a creature/walker that's about to die to combat/spell. Like your Tibalt who's made 2 tokens against a non-life gaining deck.
I kinda wish the ability cost was 2 instead of 3 for easier accessibility, but it's probably common-rarity balanced better this way.
Edit: Also super secret anti-Elderspell tech, right here.

Also yes, mtg sucks at snark. It's hard to do well, and they do it so so badly.

I’m just still mad that they changed Lava Axe’s flavor text to a worse joke
Edit: Apparently they changed it back for M19.
