2/5. At first it seems like Wizard's was just scared of Shroud. But then you look at it again and realise this card is another misplay machine. As long as you have 1 blue mana open for each targetted ability your opponent wants to use (since they can stack in response), your opponent will never target it (which is better than spending 1 each turn as you can keep your mana open "just in case"). You can target it though--but watch out. If you enchant him your opponent can try to bolt him in response...then you lose the enchantment trying to save him.

Still its a 3/3 for 5. So only 2/5.

One of my favorite cards. 5 for 3/3 with the "activated shroud ability" are normal costs (4 for 3/3 plus 1 because of ability; e.g. compare to Advanced Hoverguard). Nevertheless the artwork could be better (could have looked more like a real crab) even though i like the composition of picture and the pose of the crab. Hope to see this card in a new core set!

This guy has the potential to be dealt MASSIVE DAMAGE without the shroud he can get.

While poor by today's standards, Shroud was still very new back then, and WotC was probably concerned that handing it out permanently on a creature would be too good. Compare this Homarid Warrior and get a laugh at Fallen Empires!

Attack its weak point.

For massive damage.

Reminds me of another 3/3 for 5 mana. Morphling, once the best creature in Magic, now just a fond memory.
