Would it have killed them if they at least gave him Wind Drake stats?

Everything about this card annoys me. Except for the art, that's pretty awesome.

5/5 because it is clearly made for the lolz. I love the flavor and the mechanic, it fits one another.

If this is the only creature on the board, he has a 33% chance to kill himself, a 33% chance to hit you, and a 33% chance to hit your opponent. That means he has a 66% chance to do the opposite of what you want him to do. With another creature out (presumably an opponent's), that is lowered to 50%, but if it's your creature out, then you have a 75% chance at doing nothing useful.

"Contracted aplastic anemia. Teeth falling out. Conclusion: awesome!" - Marie Curie's Journal

Yeah, no, I don't buy it. I don't care HOW mad a scientist you are, you have to care at least a little whether your invention is killing YOU or THE ENEMY.

I thought this card was pretty cool at first... at first. Then I actually read the damn thing.

Let's get some things straight here.

A 0/2 flyer costs 0. Ornithopter is our example here. Now one might say that Aven Envoy, at Blue, is a better example, but consider that not only has Ornithopter existed for longer, but it has also seen more than one printing.

2 damage to any target costs Red. Shock is an old standby, one that will see a reprint in M14. It's no Lightning Bolt, but in most cases it will do.

So for 1Blue more... you get a worse combination of the two? Is there something I'm missing here?

I love absolutely everything about this card; the artwork, the flavor text, the name, everything.



Except what it actually does.


Having said that, I'm sure there's some way to dork his effect up to make it fun and convoluted. From the top of my head, I'm coming up with Frontline Medic to protect your guys if it backfires, and cards like Boros Reckoner to save the effect even if it backfires. I realize it's not a good combo, but I'm sure someone, somewhere will make it work.

@Lifegainwithbite: Even though the choosing is random and includes those examples, it SAYS "target", so it does target after choosing. Whether the chosen target can be targeted or not is taken into account after it is chosen (so you could randomly target a creature with shroud and the ability would be countered just as it would with a normal creature that gains shroud in response).
