Card advantage.  It's THE most powerful magic card that will give multiple turns of card advantage.  Match it up with some black cards with lifelink to regain some of that lost life and keep drawing...

So I have to pay one life to do what the game allows me to do at the start of the turn normally.  An I dont have to exile a card of I discard. 
Still not seeing it.

Don't put any planeswalkers in here. Ruins all the good strategy.

I said the same exact thing not to long ago. But consider the advantage of merely paying 1 life repeatedly to draw a card. It doesn't make sense to a casual player like myself but as Death Gaara has said, card advantage is a MAJOR. Part of the game. Life points are a resource and cards are a resource. Just like you play a card to gain life, you can use life to gain cards. And just like they said, in a deck with a life gain outlet, this card is EXTREMELY useful to acquire the cards you want.

Read this article on these forums.  It's a great explanation of the value of card advantage.
