I combo this with Tamanoa, Ajani's Pridemate, Serra Ascendant and all the double-edged burn you can imagine; Flame Rift, Earthquake, Volcanic Fallout and it's simply BRUTAL!

I love this card with Goldenglow Moth, from Shadowmoor. Block, and when you gain the 4 life, make the Moth into a 4/5 flyer. Then, the next time, an 8/9 flyer, and so on, and so on...

This, Sanguine Bond, and Tainted Sigil. Let your opponent hit you for a huge amount of damage, sacrifice your sigil and gain it back, then make your little 2/3 Vampire Nighthawk into a 10/11 flying, lifelink, death toucher. Not to mention the life they've already lost with sanguine bond!

Combined with boon reflection and something like armadillo cloak you can pull off some exponential bad assedness. I recently busted this combo onto a mycoloth and created a 100/100 creature with hundreds of sporlings in a game.
