Also, nightfall will bump this to a 2|3 (2|5 upped) and eclipse would bump it to a 3|3 (3|5 upped)
Getting out a 3|5 for 1 :darkness is already very strong, even with no ability.
ummm, should that not be 4 or 5 for a 3 | 5?

no he is correct:
nightfall +1|+1
eclipse+2|+1

so adding them to your stats of a Fickle Imp would make:
nightfall 1|1 + 1|2 = 2|3 or upped 1|1 + 1|4 = 2|5
eclipse 2|1 + 1|2 = 3|3 or upped 2|1 + 1|4 = 3|5
I was looking at the cost, not the stats
It is the greatest mystery of all...

Seems very, very fun indeed. I'm curious as to how strong this is in practice.

Thats a good question... I actually have no idea really.
It gets the most kick out the ability if used on a winning coin toss with novas and / or towers... Of course, it will be near impossible to also have nightfall or eclipse out by then, so it would only be doing 1 damage at that point.

The other use is a counter to having players spam the same card or ability multiple times in one turn. It would be deadly to decks that are built around a single ability, like RoL hope, Devourer Denial, vampires, etc.

Against other decks, its basically just a nice low cost rusher.

Getting 2 to 3 damage per turn out of 1 :darkness when nightfall or eclipse is out isn't too bad. Its actually a bit stronger than 1 :underworld creatures of other elements... Nothing a titanium or diamond shield wouldn't thwart, but certainly very good for the cost.
Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?

I'm pretty sure this is OP if it works with passives.
