This card was absolutely brutal in Limited.

Amazing card. 3/2 flyer by the second turn.

The optional reveal is great, especially on spells you would've cast anyway (Ponder, Tezzeret's Gamble, etc). The 3/2 with flying bonus makes this one of blue's favorite new toys, and one of the better one drops. 5/5

This is going to rule in limited, and I feel like it'll possibly make its way into some constructed decks.
Moonmist will be so good with this.

@DarthParallax: What are you talking about? Counter-burn is a very viable strategy, and one of my favourite even from my early days as a player!
For me, this is the most interesting card from Innistrad. I started to salivate in the very first moment that I saw this card, and I haven't stopped yet... I need to own a playset as soon as possible!
In a deck filled with instants and sorceries, a good, evasive, inespensive creature is one of the best thing to run. It delivers some serious amount of damage, that make the work of your bun a lot easier, while you protect yourself with counterspells...
Moreover, is a nice 1CMC drop, in that rarely you have something to do the first turn, if you start first, and you may save your Ponder for a couple of turn after. Or play Ponder first turn, putting an instant/sorcery third from the top, then the following turn play this and the following upkeep you transform the Delver...
It's just perfect!
5/5

I think this goes well in a "rearrange"deck... One with lots of wizards, like information dealer Szami, and spells like ponder...
This sort of gives them a nice win condition.
Even by himself, he looks at your next card, which is nice.
