So not quite as good as Electrolyze but a beating nonetheless. Yeesh.
Edit: D'oh, somehow my brain stapled "Draw a card" somewhere onto the card. Not quite as good then, and not really comparable to Electrolyze, but still a strong tempo play.
Hey, only worse than electrolyze if you wanted to split the damage. Against a 3/2 and a 3/3, I'd take this.
I'll still take this, I really like this a lot
hmm, it kills morphs, but after to see the obscene size of the creatures in this set, I guess this is too small to count on it for solving anything...
Haha! I just realized that's probably what you do with this. You use both modes to tap and deal 2 damage to a morph. That way, if it flips up and is bigger, at least it's tapped. If there are no morphs, tap a guy and kill another guy.

It's definitely not electrolyze but it's still a pretty nice tempo card. Unless UR tempo is a thing in standard for some reason, I feel like this has trouble finding a home when it will be competing with mantis rider and jeskai charm and maybe even jeskai ascendancy or spellheart chimera for the three cmc spot in a tempo deck. So maybe not so great with all the other options considered. What Jeskai really needs right now is a solid one or two cmc creature it can utilize.
Not bad. There are plenty of x/2s to kill in this set and plenty of others to tap down. The key is getting both effects at once.
It won't be a classic but as an anti-beatdown card in any UR tempo/controlish deck that might pop up I think it could see a little play.
Not amazing, but not bad. I think Jeskai charm is much stronger, but easier mana requirements and still quite decent against aggro. Kill a Rabblemaster and tap another attacker is pretty helpful.
I like the idea of adding more modal spells to this set but couldn't they have shaved 1 off of it? That's all I think it would have needed to be playable. Still a cool card... I wonder if there's a cycle #seeingcycles #probablynot

You've obviously never had the displeasure of going against Rabble Red.
lol! what a bad reference! Rabblemaster is probably the only played creature at +3cc that this thing can kill!
gl, with these things in your hand, when facing Coursers, Fleecemanes, Polukranos, Planeswalkers... and the new shipment of undercosted fatties...
You seem to be misunderstanding the point of this card, and tempo in general. This can stop your polukranos from attacking and kill a mystic. It's not a permanent solution to the poly, but it isn't supposed to be. Tempo doesn't look for permanent solutions to opposing threats, it looks to slow down their threats while protecting it's own, usually small but efficient threats while steadily lowering your life every turn. This is a good card for that strategy as it can slow down a big threat and kill a small threat all in one card.
I think you're also underestimating aggro. Yes there are certainly lots of good fatties in this set, but there have also been some rather strong 1 and 2 cmc 2/1's 2/2's, 3/2's that this can kill (and tap another).

It's also not going to be in the same set as Electrolyze.

Except they left out the 2 best parts of Fire//Ice. Ice without the draw and Fire without the splitting would both be bad.

lol, my first thought was "sweet" and my second thought was "I'd still rather have Electrolyze".
Wait till you get to "I'd still rather have Shock."
The idea behind this card is exciting, but the card itself is just too weak to be played.
It is a bit unfortunate that you can't hit players with it.
