Barbed Servitor - 3B
Artifact Creature - Construct (Rare)
Indestructible
When Barbed Servitor enters the battlefield, suspect it. (It has menace and can't block.)
Whenever Barbed Servitor deals combat damage to a player, you draw a card and you lose 1 life.
Whenever Barbed Servitor is dealt damage, target opponent loses that much life.
1/1
How do you feel about "target opponent loses that much life" vs "it deals that much damage to target opponent"?
That being said, it's still 1 mana cheaper, and while it doesn't have the fight ability, it still kinda pushes your opponents to block because of the triggered ability.
I think losing life is generally better, as there are more damage prevention cards than ones that avoid life loss (most of which also stop damage)
