I love cards that have multiple uses. Stop an attack or reset exert.

Sweet, versatile card. In addition to resetting Exert or "cancelling" an attack, it can also be used with blocking EtB creatures for traditional Blink shenanigans. Love it.

This seems pretty good to me. It's not quite Flickerwisp, but Flickerwisp doesn't have flash without Aether Vial. It's flexibility will go a long way to making this constructed viable.

Yeah, but then again, Flickerwisp is a 3 power flyer as well. A bear for a body is a bit more... lackluster. Not dissing the card mind you, just pointing out a fairly key difference.

Agreed. Sort of what I meant by "it's not quite Flickerwisp". However from what I understand a lot of the power of Flickerwisp is the ability to flash it in off Aether Vial, the 3 power flyer is just gravy. Obviously it's not replacing it in D&T, well, unless D&T suddenly really cares about humans.
For a second I was thinking 'de-ferment', like, turning wine back into grapes.
You'll have to wait for the next Un-set. From what I hear, that card lets you take an opened pack of magic cards, seal it up, and sell it back to the store you're playing in.
I hope these cards translate into a better standard
I'm hoping so as well. Right now I'm a little worried about 8 gideons and that worship emblem comboing with that card that immediately ends the turn and am waiting on the next B&R to see what wizards does. However, cards like this one give everyone hope.

Well, if they emblem gideon, you get them to 0 life, then they attack you with gideon, you can exile gideon with this and win instantly. So basically this auto-bricks gideon
This is a cool card. I think 3 power + flying + [hits all permanents at all times]* is going to prevent this from ever getting into legacy, though flash without a vial is nothing to sneeze at, and being a human DOES matter when you're playing 2x Cavern of Souls (considering Flickerwisp and SFM are literally the only non-human creatures you play).
*and honestly this is the biggest of the three
