I noticed something similar to what Bazooka99 mentioned, but slightly different about the flavor text. I accidentally looked at the card to quickly or for whatever reason, then noticed that the 1 in both 211 and 212 could be interpreted as a / in a creatures P/T. From there, if you used this guy's ability on on a 2/1 (Specimen 211) it would die, while a 2/2 (Specimen 212) would survive. I don't know if it was done on purpose, but I felt really friggin cool when I realized that.

I really like how the -1/-1 counter can be used as an added cost for untapping your creature or an added bonus when tapping an opponents creature.

This may seem trivial, but I just noticed that the numbers used in the flavor text match perfectly the numbers used on the rest of the card, when read from left to right: 2-1-1-2-1-2. And in the same set as Decimator Web - the designers for Mirrodin Besieged must have had an obsession with numbers.

This card is an absolute bomb in limited and can be useful in casual blue decks.

I can see this being fun with Undying creatures.

I just noticed the vedalken is actually holding a spiky instrument of sorts. Until now I thought he was pulling on a laytex proctologist glove.

this is the biggest bomb I'v ever seen in limited. He's incredible. also amazing in slower constructed formats.
I'm not feeling him in standard, but that's just cuz most decks aren't creature dependant
