Seems solid; I think I would need to get a few games in to be sure but id say its worse than abrade, being able to cycle it seems worse that killing a large extra chunk of creatures.
Really needed this to deal 5 damage to flyers in our Cube. Not saying that it isn’t playable as-is, but not hitting Baneslayer and Lyra is unfortunate for this card.
