So seratonin thinks it is underpowered, and Asrama thinks it might be overpowered? This is like the final round of the MCC
My logic was that if the cost was U, the versatility would make it strictly better than Flying Men or the new faerie coming out in M10, but that people would probably only play it for free anyway. It's only 1/1, so it's not going to kill them immediately, but since few decks run permanents with activated abilities that can target it, almost anything you would throw at it would kill it anyhow. I honestly don't think Faeries would run it, though, they don't run Nightshade Stinger any more afaik, and this is basically just a Bitterblossom activation without the life cost.
Congrats Asrama, I don't think the card needs to be rare, but you did a great job translating a double name into split mechanics, and the Old trigger is innovative.
