A nicely costed creature with 2 very useful abilities. I'll take 4 please.

It has Unsummon AND Lightning Bolt? Though I do agree that it DOES cost too much for both its untap and tap. It's like paying extra just to use a Lightning Bolt and vice versa for Unsummon. Though it IS fun playing it.

Dudes, just use him with Tradewind Rider in casual decks!

It's an awesome combo card. It really works best with creatures that are both red and blue, though. It's tempting to try to use it with just blue creatures, but it's remarkably fiddly to get this one and two others tapped when you want them to be.

i love this card. Not enough good red untap creatures to use it with. R/U could have used some more hybrid creatures with tap or untap abilitys to make this guy more competitive. Good with hate flayer, fate stitcher, and banishing knack, along with some other cards (i'll leave it to you)for a fun casual combo deck.

This thing is pretty disgusting in U/R hybrid, particularly if you're playing with doubled mana.

This isn't nearly as good as people are making it out to be.
If an opponent sees this, they're sure not gonna just sit their twiddling their thumbs waiting for it to go off.
You need a lot of COLORED mana.
You need at least 2 creatures.
Without that this is just a Grey Ogre.
But when it works...
Elation.
4/5

Pay 4, Unsummon and Lightning Bolt every turn? Oh, and in the later game I can do it more than once? And it's hybrid mana?
Just stop right there, the only way this could get any better is if you could do this all before your attack step and tap and untap everything and THEN attack. Oh, you can. Damn this card is glorious. See you in every 
deck ever.

Saying that the costs of the abilities is too high is plain ridiculous. When you use this combo the right way, you can easily clear the opponents side within a few turns. Then, you can attack unanswered adnauseum(at least for them anyway).
Do not underestimate the power of these abilities together. Without upping the ante on your Lightning Bolt and Unsummon, then 'yes,' this card would be much overpowered.

Overall this card seems like it had so much potential, but they just made his activated abilities cost way too much. It's like it was almost too broken during playtesting or something, so they upped his costs and now it's just.....meh, not worth it. So many mediocre uncommons are better than this guy. And it's got such cool artwork too, which makes it all the more sadder....
