Promise of Power, Sorcery, designed by Kev Walker first released in Oct, 2003 in the set Mirrodin and was printed exactly in 5 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
A deck that focuses on drawing a lot of cards and doesn't mind losing life would benefit from Promise of Power, as it offers card advantage and a powerful creature token. However, there are better cards like Necropotence or Phyrexian Arena that provide consistent card advantage without the life loss drawback. Promise of Power could see play in a deck that values the flexibility of its options and can capitalize on the demon token's potential, but it may not be a top choice in competitive formats due to its high mana cost and drawbacks.

If you pay the entwine cost, you draw five cards, then lose five life, then put the Demon token onto the battlefield. The five cards you draw count toward the Demon’s power and toughness.

The power/toughness of the token is set when this spell resolves.
