So Tom has actually come out said that this is bad by design to water down NPH blue in limited, which was slightly too strong in testing. Mission accomplished.

Still, I can't help but feel this would be serviceable if it were -1/+2 instead. For comparison:
* Holy Strength -- common {W} +1/+2 Aura at 2.5 stars
* Unholy Strength -- common {B} +2/+1 Aura at 3 stars (bonus to power being seen as slightly better than to toughness)
* Riot Spikes -- common {(B/R)} +2/-1 Aura at 2.5 stars
* Web, Carapace, and Street Savvy, all {G} +0/+2 + perk Auras at 2.5-3 stars.
* Defensive Stance -- common {U} -1/+1 Aura at 1 star
Yeah, I'd say that -1/+2 would have probably been more color-comparable.

It is kind of interesting though, in that it's almost the most sub-optimal card one can design. If it were just +0/+1 it would be so bad that you would be obliged to at least... (see all)

I...I don't even know why this card was made.

This seems like the kind of thing they would print in Homelands.

Yes, falling down is a great defencive stance.

The effect of this card isn't quite big enough to be useful. Most glasses have a base larger than the width of this card so, unless you use more than one (or perhaps combo it with Evil Presence), part of the glass touches the table anyway and still end up with some of the ring.

To summarise, much worse than a proper coaster. Doesn't even deserve evaluation as a card.

I have a shiny one of these and it looks super-cool. Slightly outside the box of what blue can usually do, though clearly in flavor for the color.
