What a way to waste a great archetype with both a terrible card design as well as art. Just how does the effect relate to someone that plays music for a living? They could have just as well named this card "Accountant". Actually, that would have made more sense, if you think about it.

@DR Jack, "Just how does the effect relate to someone that plays music for a living?"
He's fascinating them. Sort of like the pied piper. If you don't keep prodding your guys to get in line, they'll just follow his siren-like song to their doom. He's not just a musician, he's a magician working through music. Other odd "wizard" professions include Scrivener and Anarchist.

@Polychromatic
Sure, passion is mostly red. Technique, control, and mesmerism are all blue though.

If he didn't have the cumluative upkeep, this might've been a decent card.

The flavor of this is all wrong, at least the color. Music is Red: the emotion, passion, and creativity are much more Red than the chill, logical processes of Blue. There's my rant.

I think what's important to note is:
- the counters stay (including their "pay 1 or sac" effect) even once the musician is gone
- musician works well with cards like exhaust to prevent people from paying their stuff
- you can tap the musician in response to the cumulative upkeep ability. So even if you choose to not pay the upkeek a single time, you can use the tap ability

Still a bad card. But fun. :)
