Not much to add in terms of scope of where to run it - I've used it in monoblack (a lifegain intensive version), Derevi, and Zur. I don't use it in Oloro, b/c I run Felidar Sovereign there, and it's hard to argue with that. Maybe I should do both anyways though.

In terms of how good it is - it's definitely not the worst threat you could pick even in a deck that isn't specifically built around it. It's not very mana intensive at all for the amount of damage and pressure it provides, and at times, it may actually save you more life with blockers than it costs you to sac. There's nothing that says you have to burn a quarter of your life only to walk into someone's Disenchant. Kind of an expensive Icy Manipulator, but at 5 life, 6 life? Still not a bad investment for the mana cost, and probably produces favorable trades more often than chump blocks.

If you do have ways to abuse it/tutor it/build around it, it can be
one of the more devastating win cons in the format. Definitely a skill-tester in terms of how much life to pay, and when to play it, though.
