So if it doesn't kill the creature it basically taps it? That's..kind of cool. This set is full of bizarre cards. This seems like it should be BW or B to me.
Only if it takes lethal damage. Don't try to use it precombat to fog/tap a creature.
The regeneration clause on this will not tap any creature unless that creature has lethal damage or a destroy effect resolve on it.
In other words, if you use it on your opponent's Wall of Omens pre-combat... it will not be tapped. It will have a regeneration shield, and block whatever you attack with (assuming you're not attacking with infect/wither creatures) and then regenerate.
If, for some reason, an opponent's creature has toughness minus 1 damage on it and you want it to be tapped, this can do that for you. That's the only time it can do that. Or it's about to be destroyed, but when why are you bothering to stop it from being destroyed so you can tap it?
I guess he could be included in a T2 white list, since he interacts with Sun Titan. As someone pointed out, the tapping that happens when you regenerate a creature seems ok. And he's a 3/2 with Honor of the Pure.... Ok I'm losing it. I keep trying to resurrect Emeria, the Sky Ruin

Thank you for pointing that out, I was typing while your post hit. Ok nevermind, another Scars block limited weirdo.

I know it is supposed to have the phyrexian symbol, but did you guys just mock up the card and that's why it doesn't?
Anyways, I don't see this being good in limited. For 3 mana it kills a X/1. Kinda bad. I mean Instill Infection is played a lot in limited, but it's more of a suprise and nets you a card. But this has a lot of trouble taking down a big guy. I mean let's say your attacked with a 5/5. You block with a 4/4 and sac this guy. Whoops your opponent's creature regens. Of course you can sac to keep your creature alive, or use both to block, but I would think it would be better. Like do one or the other. Can save your Kemba or the like.

It was provided that way from WotC (I got it from my editor like this), not sure if it was meant to have the symbol or not on the preview.

It has the symbol, it's just on white so it's very faint. Tilt you computer and you'll see it.
Good art, but just weird card. I do like the creativity of design here. This is something new I'd have to say. With enough proliferate it could be okay and last I checked white/blue was fine in draft.

I like this. It can kill bigger than 1 toughness guys if you can proliferate too. I think its not bad at all. It is an interesting double-sided combat trick. Oh, and its gross. Pretty gross for a white card.
I like this guy. It seems like a rather odd but interesting way to incorporate some of the Phyrexian themes into White, and it will probably see some Limited play since its a body that can be sacced to kill a creature or save one of your own.

Thanks for pointing that out to people, would do well to remember
Yep it just creates a regeneration shield, it doesn't necessarily cash in on it. All that occurs is that a regeneration shield is flagged on the object, and not until that object would be destroyed does it tap them and remove them from combat and all that jazz.
I really like this card. I hope the rest of the limited stuff in this set will be like this, since the rares/mythics were not very impressive. Its very unique, and very flavourful, and makes a great deal of sense. It might not have the best power level, but its certainly not bad in limited where it can be a bodyguard or a dork killer. Actually this is probably the best card spoiled so far from a design standpoint
Weird, weird card that took me a while to understand fully. And the name totally betrays the tiny dude on the art (well, there's no scaling items to compare it with, so I call tiny for now). But, it's a nice card, and the flavor text is awesome (have I heard it somewhere before?).
This is a really unique design that still fits the flavor of the set and mechanics which is great. I'm still reasonably excited for the set and don't hate it like others seem to, but I think we can all agree that to some point seeing typical cards with metalcraft or infect tagged on is getting old and this is definitely new

It's like an overcosted Fume Spitter, or it saves your creature but weakens it? How odd.
A white card that puts a -1/-1 on a creature.. this is a weird set.
