The transformed side sounds legendary. A consideration, perhaps?
Also, its a 5/3 unblockable. It wants to attack. Maybe deathtouch wouldn't be the best idea- when will you use it? And if you were going for that oddness, to call it out, wouldn't it be better to give it provoke instead?
Edit:
I think that those should be when clauses, not ifs; not sure on that. For example, "When a player has more than 5 poison counters, remove all poison counters from all players, and flip ~."
Lastly, if this is a parody of Ma-Ro, Wyrdling should leave the poison counters on- he didn't want to make another leeches, after all.

1.) I agree. I'm sure I considered it, but thought it would be kinda odd to have 4 copies of it, but that only 1 side would be legendary. That definitely creates the kinda headache I want though.
2.) I was going for the oddness. I'll go for Unblockable/Provoke instead. Didn't even realize it was capable of blocking >_>
3.) Works better, thanks.
4.) My goal was to create a card with as little internal synergy as possible. A 2/2 infecter for 2 is good enough as is, so I had to make sure this thing is COMPLETELY unplayable (IE: a MaRo pet card).
It was at that moment that I realized: I'm kinda just making these things up. We can just write the rules the way we want them to work. People will have fun, and people will get it.
so... this is some jab at MaRo? I don't really get it.
My goal was to mash together all the mistakes from the last decade or so of Magic (from when MaRo took over). The first version takes an unpopular mechanic (infect, which was only best rated in the Scars block because most of those mechanics sucked), and combines it with the sort of interior un-synergy MaRo is known for.
The flipped side combines the worst parts of Kamigawa (the unnecessary Flip cards, and the 2nd worst rated mechanic ever, Wisdom).
The Transformed side is a cou de'grace, jamming all the templating ****-ups in Transform alongside the pointless Level Up Mechanic. Throw in the hugely degenerate Phybrid (Mental Misstep, Dismember), and some interior un-synergy, and you have the PINNACLE of a Ma-Ro pet card. You'll also note that the card has a LOT to do with Combat, an intentional mockery of his vision of Magic as "TURN DURDLES SIDEWAYS."
It's a terrible card, you meant it to be a terrible card, so there's really nothing else to say here. There are plenty of other places you can go to complain about MaRo.

Jeez man, it's satire. MaRo makes bad cards, so I figured I'd make fun of him by making bad cards. No need to get hostile buddy.

That would be hilarious. A transform card with Morph. Oh lord.
