This would have been pretty sweet for Vintage back in 2001. Pre-obsoleted by Selkie.

Ophidian with shroud and 2 power is not bad. Sadly, you really need to be entirely unopposed for this guy to be good.

I know it has been hinted at, but shroud just ruins this card. Gimme a Scroll Thief, any day.

Such an antagonistic design >.>
Shorud on a creature that you would want to target with Distortion Strike and the like?
2/1 on a creature that is meant to deal damage to a player, why not 1/2 or hell even 1/3?

"Whispersilk Cloak still works." - BloodDragon
It has Shroud though, so you can't equip it... there's basically no way to give this thing evasion unless it's a global effect..

The last card printed with shroud.

Play it for what it is and not for what you'd like it to be, it's a fine card by no means a 5 but surely not a 2,5 (design-wise a 1/3 or a 1/4 with no shroud would be interesting)

@blooddragon no, whispersilk does not work because equipping targets it. This card really just sucks...

Terrible.
Because of the shroud you can't give it any sort of evasion or protection.
Worst Ophidian spin off ever.
