The card is a subset tutor (of sorts) from a very unpopular set, so I like it as a low-risk long-term hold
Unlike something like Starting Town, you cant turn off the life loss at any point unless you just stop using it
Youre aiming to choose a creature to be exiled, otherwise the exiled card is wasted
Its design is inspired by birds of prey, such as falcons, which aligns well with its speedy and agile nature
Finally, because he can make many spells and abilities free, he can be the third card in numerous infinite combos, like Carrion Feeder and Gravecrawler, Necrotic Ooze with Asmodeus, the Archfiend in your graveyard, or even just K'rrik and Blood Celebrant, which essentially makes a free mana of any one color for each three life you pay
