The Flash on this makes it interesting. On offense, you can swing in with some fragile stuff and if they block to kill it, you save with this dude. Neat. Or on defense, it allows a chump save or can just flash in to block something. Feels flexible though the stats are otherwise pretty bad. Auto include in peasant lists? Might not make many rare lists though. I might test it however as I'm not in love with white's 3 drop selection.
Lots to consider here. Splashability is awesome. The body is not great, but flash is fun. The condition should be pretty easy to meet, but I wish it had no condition at all.
Doesn't help that white 3s are stacked.

This is probably a must play if you want to support blink.dec, since that deck is still in need of enablers. This is a pretty good one too! However white three drops are probably one of the tightest slots to crack in the whole cube. Without running dedicated blink support it's hard to make space.
Seems like a nice alternative to Eldrazi Displacer for those that don't want to support colorless matters.
Shoot, I hadn't even thought of that. I go back and forth on the small package. If there were a full cycle of Talismans, I'd feel fine about supporting it. But since there isn't, I'm always questioning it. Hm!

I like this card a lot, but competing directly with Flickerwisp is tough. This is more splashable, but has a worse body, and hits fewer things. Flash is really good on this, as you can come out of nowhere for some creative blowouts. I'm interested, but I don't think this beats Flickerwisp in this slot. If you want additional support for blinks, this is pretty great, and I'll be playing both.
Man, this doesn't seem like it competes at all with white's 3cc creature options. Being limited on what kinds of targets it can hit and having a vanilla 2/2 body makes this really unimpressive, IMO. Not close to interested.
Interresting blink card that can be used in multiple ways. Thoughts?
