Sent a private message to zesty to request information about my favorite little creature from Alara, the Homunculus. In the spirit of the zesty team, here is hopefully a simple puzzle.
Start with a Kird Ape, cast Niveous Wisps and Alter Reality and change forest to artifact (bear with me I know it doesn't work that way but damn it It's to early to think) lastly give the ability -0/-1 and untap it.
And you get....
Court Homunculus
Will update the post once it gets solved.
EDIT: Well that was quick and yeah I forgot about the card draw on nevious wisps. Caffeine hasn't hit yet.

Artifact Creature - Homunculus (C)
Court homunculus gets +1/+1 if you control another artifact.
1/1
Thanks for the info! This is a great common that will appeal to casual, players, but also fill out an aggro Esper deck, shaping up with Esperzoa. Just don't play Puppet Conjurer!
Court Homunculus W
Creature - Homunculus Common/unc
~ gets +1/+1 as long as you control an artifact.
1/1
I think that this might be the correct form but you need to have card draw in there so possibly
-when ~ comes into play if you control an artifact draw a card?

Decent card, will be played in Limited, doubt it will see play in Standard, and it's too small for the format where it would be best (Extended). Shockingly a 2/2 for 1 is below the curve these days.
How good this will be for constructed really depends on how far wizards pushes the esper aggro archetype, technically esper aggro is already possible, its just not good enough and esperzoa's ability isnt really the kind of thing you want in an aggo deck...unless ornithopter starts being played.
As for limited, personally i wouldn't pick it unless my deck is looking to be ridiculously fast, its a really really dead card drawn past the early game in most cases.
You're right, I would never bounce my permanents to get a 4/3 flying creature early on to crush face with. OH WAIT
Also a 2/2 on turn 1 isn't bad when you also pack master of etherium =\ *shakes his head*
Thats ok for limited.
Dunno about constructed,maybe esper aggro
We know we're spoiled if a 2/2 for 1 common is considered "ok for limited." Just because we don't have an "Esper Aggro" right now doesn't mean he won't come along. In this block, it's not like it's hard to find an artifact or two.

To be fair, the Sea Drake comparison is a bad one as the drake is played mostly because it DOESN'T bounce your permanents very often. (played turn one off a chrome mox and city of traitors it will bounce nothing as you don't have "two target lands you control".)
Some of you may have been in shock since we invaded Canada and Mexico, but fear not, it was for a good cause. Now that we conrol North America, we produce an extra 5 armies a turn.^_^
Guys, don't forget that you could drop this and Bone Saw t1, so he's a 2/2 out of the gate.
Which, while not the most efficient use your cards, could be decent start to a game. You're probably not going to waste the mana to equip that t2, but it's not bad for a couple of commons.
nah, this guy calls out to me for a white weenie deck. with 16 possible 2/2s on turn 2 (figure, stalwart, squire, and this) I think mono white sligh may be the way to go. but hey I'm the crazy one. oh and for the esper deck, you should use ethersworn canonist as another decent 2 drop.

Add Niveous Wisps = 1/1 and tapped.
Alter Reality = Artifact instead of Forest
Give -0/-1 and untap = 1/1

If you control an Artifact Court Homunculus gets +1/+1.

Not sure if it is constructed-worthy, though.
Kithkin would like a word with you. So would Isamaru.

Uh! We already have Tidehollow Strix, Esperzoa and Deft Duelist. Yeah, I already love this deck!

Shatterstorm is in Standard for a reason probably, so it would probably need countermagic or discard to back it up.
