Rationale

8cmc 8/8 flying demon. Activated ability: pay {B} + 2 life for targeted -1/-1. Trigger: whenever you lose life, draw that many cards. Signature finisher in aristocrats and lifegain shells where life-loss is leveraged as a resource (Zulaport Cutthroat, Dark Confidant, Bolas's Citadel). The card-draw trigger transforms life-payment into card advantage. Slow setup and high mana cost make it off-curve for aggro/burn."
