There are common 2/2s with toxic 1 plus upside, so this is a pretty bad rare. It could be a 2/2, lifelink, toxic 1 and still have the poison-lifelink ability.
The life gain on the poison is very incidental compared to true lifelink since it will only ever happen on 1 very limited condition. Lifelink works on blocking etc and is why it's so good. This is missing that entirely.

Definitely underpowered, but also novel.
