Updated oracle text makes this way better than the printed version I have, which seems to say it's a one-shot effect rather than something you can do until EOT.

Beautiful art; It could be a Chimney Imp and I'd give it a 5/5. Good work, Rebecca Guay.

Possibly one of the most awesome cards ever designed. The only way it could be better was if it was red instead of green!
