It seems to combo well with things that give it evasion and just as a good, tricky blocker.
With that versatility it could find good use in mono-blue decks.

I don't think there is a limit to how low power can drop, PhyrexianLobbiest. Char-Rumbler has negative power.

This has to be one of my favorite cards to pull in draft. A solid 3/4 for 4 mana in blue is very nice in a Limited environment. Distortion Strike can turn this good card into 2 turns of 7 damage. All with an art that makes me want to call him, "WACKY WAVING WATERY ARM FLAILING TUBE MAN.", maybe open a warehouse and emporium...
Overall fun card.

Even without it's effect, you still get a relatively good creature in blue and it's out of bolt range!

Flavorful, playable, nice art.

This is a great uncommon. I got a few in the mini promo decks - put him in a deck with lots of scry and counters and bounce, then slap a Whispersilk cloak on him, and he suddenly becomes quite a good, steady finisher.

What I'm planning to do with mine, unless I come up against a Lightmine Field or Leonin Bladetrap:
Step 1: give it a Whispersilk Cloak (which thoughtfully came in the same booster pack)
Step 2: make it a 6/1 every turn.
Step 3: smash six points of health off my opponent per turn.

Anyone else notice the little crab on top?

I held off a Protean Hydra with this thing in a Draft - drop its power to under 0 to pump up the toughness, and there you go. The Hydra doesn't kill it, and it doesn't damage the Hydra (or make it larger.) Rather humorous when having 0 power is the key to victory.
