In a few months no one will be able to believe what people posted in this thread... It's Upwelling all over again.
Really, guys, make a few screenshots and read that stuff again around christmas this year. You know, about sideboarding this card against decks with Baneslayer Angel. You will ask yourself which drugs were en vogue this summer.
I agree with you, this card *may* see some SB use if a deck with a heavy lifegain component shows up, but using it against Baneslayer Angel is ridiculous...great! you've just Darknessed the opponent, and next turn the angel will come back to give you a righteous ass-kicking, seriously, besides Doom Blade I'd rather have the new kill spell that also makes them lose 2 life as well for [MANA]1[/MANA]:symb::symb:, since it kills the annoying angel dead.
And if I'm playing MBC, I'd rather test Absorb Vis over this, since it's almost as crappy, but can actually be put to some use with its landcycling ability so 2 of them may end up being useful.

Not so Tricky!
Artifact 3
All trap cards cost an additional 2 to play.
or maybe a reverse trap?
