Well.... This is a strictly better Phyrexian Arena, but harder to use in commander.

No, it's not. Creatures have to do combat damage to players, first. Secondly, it takes more life. Thirdly, you telegraph it to your opponents.

It gives you more control over the draw, and in commander you can get it to trigger multiple times in one turn by hitting different opponents. The downside being that in commander you need at least a three colored deck, unlike the Arena which you can play in any deck with black in the color identity.

I mean, there are also a few corner cases where Arena is better. Like it interacts with Sylvan Library. (You draw a card during your upkeep, draw three during your draw step, and then put two of those four back.) Or Alhammarret's Archive.

On the flip side, this also interacts with Sylvan Library in another way, since you can make sure you draw a land.

Positives and Negatives with them both.
