Looks like one of the best transformers. Control is going to love this.

Great card. It runs ridiculously in my red/blue Talrand aggro.
I, however was playing against a U/R Delver deck with a W/B Humans and Vampires. I knew what my opponent was running, so I threw in a few more spot removals (so I basically trolled him into submission.)
Turn 1: (Him)
Island, Delver of Secrets
Turn 1: (Me)
Swamp, Human Frailty at Delver
Turn 2: (Him)
Mountain, Delver of Secrets, Vexing Devil (I take 4 instead of letting it stay)
Turn 2: (Me)
Swamp, Geth's Verdict at him
Turn 3: (Him)
Miracles into Thunderous Wrath (I take 5), Island, Delver of Secrets
Turn 3: (Me)
Plains, Oblivion Ring at Delver
Basically I went on to play a Curse of Exhaustion, two Thraben Doomsayers, a Falkenrath Torturer, an Exquisite Blood, and finally Sorin, Lord of Innistrad to finish my coup.
My point? Delver can be beaten, it just is a pain to try to. He got me down to 11 without any swinging Delvers on turn 3. I find that slightly perturbing, but that's just how it works with Delver. Got a nice ... (see all)

I'm not sure "deck that wants an aggressive one-drop" and "deck with lots of instants and sorceries to reliably transform this" overlap enough.
I could be very wrong though.

@Lord_Padriac "Every deck running mono blue should have four of these and every deck running blue/whatever should think about running four of these."
Isn't that a pretty decent sign of a broken card, when inclusion becomes practically required? Why is this guy common...

I really wish this card was never printed, and I have NEVER felt that way about any other card.

Why common?
Because power level shouldn't be about rarity.
How is Vexing Devil rare, and this is common? They are nearly at the same power level.
No, they are miles apart.
1st turn Vexing devil does at most 4 damage.
1st turn delver can get really nasty.
However, I don't like this card.
It's powerful, cheap and efficient. 5/5
It has a lot of flavor. 5/5
However I feel that it mocks at the color pie.

I do not like this card. It is far too powerful for a blue one drop. However, I think (want to think) the potency of Delver decks will go down when Ponder and Vapor Snag rotate out. Although Delver will still have Talrand, Sky summoner and other goodies, the loss of consistency Im personally hoping will cripple Delver decks

This card is so broken, and so pushed. Why common? WHY? This would be a bad idea even at uncommon. How is Vexing Devil rare, and this is common? They are nearly at the same power level.
