2/3
So pretty much what we have here is a 2/3 that makes a thopter on ETB. I think izzet in general is probably too tight for this to compete, but it's pretty good value for the cost and worth at least discussing. If we didn't get Saheeli in this set I might have given it a shot as my 4th izzet card. Larger cubes might find something interesting here.
I did that yesterday with Contraband Kingpin. Such a pushed uncommon that helps one of my favorite cube archetypes, it just had to be discussed. Sometimes, cards that are objectively too weak for cube just get us really excited. Nothing to be ashamed of.
I wanted this to be good. If it were a 3/3 Flyer that can make a thopter I would be on board. Idk, it seems a little lack luster for a gold card. I wish it looted a card or something more blue in addition to its current abilities.
