Sidsi's Faithful U

Creature - Naga Wizard
Exploit
When Sidsi's Faithful exploits a creature, return target creature to its owner's hand.

0/4


On my first run through the spoiler I dismissed this as "limited chaff", then I read it again. Guys, I think this card could be REALLY good in cube. It can function as a random wall in control decks, even on turn one as Exploit is a "may" ability. You can sacrifice a random token or a creature you want to get into the yard for GY shenanigans. It's a super cheap sac trigger. It can exploit itself! Super recurable bounce with great synergies all over the place, all on a 1 drop wall in a color that could arguable use a one drop wall. I am SUPER intrigued by this creature. What do y'all think?

Misread the card at first. Thought it was a Raise Dead that could loop with itself for cheap death triggers.

I think it's just too weak for cube, even as a virtual split card. Most decks don't want an Unsummon and 0/4 wall in the same deck.

Agreed. I don't like how you have to sac a dude to do it too. A lot of the decks that want a 0/4 don't have a lot of creatures they want to sac.

Really wish it had flash!

You guys are probably right, my inner Johnny freaked out in my initial evaluation. Flash would have definitely been cool.

Also, I know duress is in the set but I would have loved a 2/2 for 1B with exploit for duress. That was my dream exploit card.

Man, that would've been great.

This card is okay. Better than Kraken Hatchling, because it can be a sorcery Unsummon too, but I think this is a safe pass.
