Stick her in a junk midrange/control deck that features a load of incidental lifegain, makes for a nice win condition there in grindy games. Don't really see anywhere else it drops into though, exquisite blood is a bit too gimicky, and other colour combos don't seem to feature enough lifegain to be able to get consistant use out of it.
2 cards, 3 mana, and any way to gain life or make your opponent lose life doesn't sound gimmicky to me. It's the best combo to hit standard since Deceiver Exarch  + Splinter Twin  .
I think you're seeing this through beer goggles.
Firstly, it's not a 2-card, 3-mana combo. Not 2 cards because you don't only need this and Exquisite Blood to go off. You also need a source of damage. It could be as easy as attacking, playing a burn spell, or triggering extort, but you still have to have that element. It's not 3 mana because 1) your most expensive piece of the combo costs 5, and 2) you probably want to go off the turn you play your second piece, making this at minimum a 5-mana or 8-mana combo.
You can't really compare this to Splinter Twin combo, where one of the pieces actually helped you go off by tapping down opposing lands, and you could do it all in one turn thanks to Exarch's flash.
How about attacking with your Guildmage?
Turn 2: Guildmage
Turn 5: Exquiite Blood
Turn 6: Give Guildmage Lifelink, activate 2nd ability. if your Guildmage deals damage (Even to a creature) you have won the game. 2 card combo.

In which case, it's a six mana combo. However it's accomplished, using the guildmage and Exquisite Blood requires either more than two cards or more than three mana.

Pretty good and carries on the theme of Extort in a different way.

There's also Seraph Sanctuary  , if you want a free source of life gain that can't be countered when you play it. I think if I ran this, I would probably run a little green for ramp to move it along a little faster, plus life gain from Thragtusk and the like.

Playable, awesome, and best of all, it looks interesting to build around.
EDIT: It will be interesting to build around.

I think it will see play. I don't even want to think about late game multiple Rhox Faithmender stupid stuffs. It should never work, but someone is going to make it work.
