Non-aggressive 2-drops in white are rare and this is one of the better ones. Trades the 1 life gain of Lone Missionary for an extra toughness and two other modes. Scry 2 is always valuable, and more things blinking Palace Jailer is always nice. Will test if I can find space.
This seems super fun, definitely would like to cube with this if I can find a cut. Between this and Soulherder I feel like there's more and more support for a strong Azorius blink deck
I like this card a lot. 2/2 for W1 is quite impressive for such an utility card, scry 2 is useful for early turns and white is the color that has a very limited access to filtering, so it's a welcome inclusion. It's like a white version of Sage's Row Savant or Omenspeaker, but with more possible modes.
The flicker mode is limited to your creatures (you own) and therefore much weaker than something like Flickerwisp. Nevertheless, this mode is potent with cmc 5+ creatures and sometimes it will appear as late top deck and is much more valuable than 3 life of scry 2 at this point. Oh and you can Homeward Path a stolen creature with him
I am looking forward to test the prince.
I like this card as a pseudo sideboard card that has some blink/pod value.
Probably replace Lone Missionary for me, which served a similar roll.
Not quite as good against specifically agro, but less embarrassing in pod type decks.
Lone missionary was on the fence for me anyway, so happy to see a better replacement that serves a similar roll.
Love this card. It's a good blink target and it's a blink enabler. Wanted to put Lone Missionary in anyways, and I'm more than happy to put this in instead.
I am pretty sure we'll end up playing this. It's good early, late, ahead or behind. I'm very pleased to see that in a two-land hand, in particular. More incidental blink is always welcome too.

On spoiled card wishlisting and 'should-have-had'-isms:
Plus, the name has so many cute jokes hidden inside and that's incredible. Bravo, Maro.
Slamming it in 450 unpowered with blink support.
This is still the best place for high-power-level cube chat & debate.
