Strictly better than Oliver Twist.

My only question is... what the heck is that thing? Frog-monkey-human-demon? I really can't figure it out.

Combo's well with g/u infect and livewire lash. I think in that regards better than Distortion Strike. Turn 1 Forest, Glistener Elf. Turn two Island, swing with elf (1p) and then play livewire lash. Turn 3 Island, tap f,i and equip then tap i play Dodge (3p) swing (4p). Turn 4 even if no land drop, tap i flashback dodge target elf, (6p) then Titanic Growth, Mutagenic Growth, or Spectral Flight GG. You can get a lot of poison in quick and it even meaner with blighted agent

Yes! Blue unblockability! Just what I've been waiting for ever since the disappearance of the Zendikar block!

This is one of my favorite cards from the set. I just don't understand the art. At all. What the heck is that thing, and what is it doing on innistrad?
@Crayzar
That's an awesome and flavorful idea. I hope we see some wacky experimental creatures in Avacyn Restored.

TDL: exactly what I was thinking! xD
There was an episode of Arthur that for some reason threw in this Oliver Twist reference
during one of his day dreams:
"please sir, can I have some more?''
I decided to make a Magic Card based on Mr. Ratburn's response:
Some Oar-- 0
Legendarily Mundane Artifact- Equipment.
Equipped creature gets +0/+0. If equipped creature
is a human, it is now an orphan. And hungry.
Equip 50
"Sure! There you can have Some Oar!"

Is the card name a reference to Oliver Twist?
Because if it is... that'd be pretty classy.
(BTW, A character in the play is named Artful Dodger)

Frankly, I think this may compare poorly with Defy Gravity; Even if there are alot of fliers in Innistrad block and it's limited environments and such, which makes unblockability nice against them, Defy Gravity could at least be used to make a blocker fly. This can't, not just because it's a sorcery, although you would rarely want to make something unblockable at instant speed ("Must block if able effects" aside, which I think there is only about two of in Innistrad block anyway: Hinterland Scourge, and Deadly Allure.), this also makes something unblockable, so it can't be used to give you a flying blocker chump or otherwise, unlike Defy Gravity. And for that, I am disappointed.

Commander review: Making a Commander unblockable can be a game winner, regarding the Commander Damage rule. Still, it might be a better idea to add equipment such as whispersilk cloak, which not only make the Commander unblockable for as long as the equipment is around, but also gives it shroud. If you pay 5 mana for the equipment or 1 for this spell ain't much of a difference.
2/5

So, the card is called Artful Dodge, shouldn't it give the creature shroud, not unblockable? Or give both, shroud and unblockable?
