Maybe if it had flash, to surprise them when they try to Lightning Bolt your 3/3, or as a surprise on their Plague Stinger when you're at 9 poison counters, then you pull off some flashy combo and mill them to death with my Screeching Sliver/Conspiracy/Myr Galvanizer/Palladium Myr combo for INFINITE MANA AND INFINITE MILL!!!!! Also, you then play a Blightsteel Colossus, Accelerate it, Darksteel Colossus, also Accellerated, then Distortion Strike both and Fling Darksteel for win by milling, damage, AND poison counters!!!
But it doesn't
1/5

going in my splicer deck. I mean, hell, they're a bunch of 1/1 splicers who power up my golems. The LAST thing I want is them dying to a gut shot. Of course, since gut shot is insta-speed, it still might happen. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

Really cool flavour.
Really bad card.
It has a little bit of utility - that enemy Plague Stinger stops poisoning you, or you can protect your own Birds of Paradise or Silver Myr from a ping. This unlikely usefulness, but interesting flavour, leads me to give it 2/5 stars.

Horrible design nightmares aside, I really like the art, and want to see this artist do a full-art Neurok Commando.

Use on a creature with 0 power to only get benefits.

This is so bad it's used more on opponents creatures than their own. Feedback for any developers or Wizards employee reading this: Please reduce the power level on cards like these for drafts. In my friend group, after our first draft this became a first pick card because the -1 part is unfair, especially for Blue. It made Vault Skirge and virtually every one power creature in the set useless. In fact, by our third draft many of us gave up having an early game. This card still ended up being a bit too powerful because people would put these on their own already high-toughness creatures like Ogre Menial and wall creatures all day. I had a game in a draft where noone took damge until turn 9, and that was just because of a Vapor Snag. First combat damge didn't happen until turn 13, which was a Spined Thopter with one of these on it. Well anyway, please hear this: REDUCE THE POWER LEVEL ON AURAS LIKE THIS T... (see all)
