It hasn't got evasion or protection, but they are +1/+1 counters instead of a temporary boost. Lotleth Troll is easier to pump, but our non-Weird Elemental here could be an alternate win-con for Storm. Hmmm.

I can see this being awesome in a Charbelcher-styled deck (or as maybe a sideboard option for the real deck). Storm it up and eat all the copies to 1-shot them.

Adds some resilience to your deck if you plan on seeing a lot of counterspells.
Oh you want to counter that?
Looks like I get the last laugh, son.

Running this in my Izzet sideboard just in case my opponent runs counter spells.

Combo this guy with a Tendrils of Agony storm combo deck for super-win.

Combines decently with Curse of Echoes. Any instant or sorcery your opponent casts that wouldn't be particularly useful to you, you eat. They'll never want to play instants or sorceries again.

I won every game that this guy hit the board during the prerelease. Nothing like dishing two 0 dmg street spasms and a chemister's trick at once then eating them all to make this guy into a 7/8 and swing for the win when my opponent thought he had a victory in the bag.
Will see glorious standard play by yours truly. I'll try to leave some for the delvers in the audience. And yes, that curse seems perfect for a deck revolving around this guy. So much potential.
Oh and he's a 1/2 for (R) or (U) even without his excellent ability, plus he untaps lobber crew when you cast him. Scary good.

First turn this and then a free Gut Shot for an easy 3/4.

Too bad Gut Shot is rotating.

Ideal scenario... curiosity on guttersnipe. You don't lose anything. The cards replace themselves and you still get a trigger off of guttersnipe. Just make sure to save a few answers for when you'll need them :D
