Not sure what you mean by "gain some tempo".
It's not a bad lifeloss effect if you cast it very early and it last a long time on the battlefield. But it's going to be nearly useless late game and, of all resources in the game, life total is my least favourite one to tax.

I mean, it's best to stop combos which involve infinite creatures, or something of that sort. But there are better cards to mess with that. Rakdos Charm for example. Or hell, even Batwing Brume.
is this card worth it? it can grant me some tempo at most and a bit of lifeloos for my opponent at least.
Thanks Argentleman;)
