 Think of Thirst as a Paralyze for blue. The upkeep cost of [Blue] isn't much to pay for the benefit of keeping something dangerous out of commission indefinitely. Just don't rely too heavily on it--while your Thirst is in play, it's costing you two cards for your opponent's one. Plus one Serene Heart will clear all your Thirsts away. But as a limited short-term strategy, Thirst is really good.
