This is a little worse than Vampire's Vengeance from a surgery standpoint (and you don't get the Blood token) but has some wider targeting (actually, strangely not specifically "target"-ing, and not a crime) applications that give it some consideration

You never really end up with a deck, as much as a collection of removal spells, a dash of evasion creatures, a trick or two, and some ground-pounders

The latter is mostly due to the lifegain, sure, but getting to bring creatures back even temporarily can be really strong
