This didn't get a lot of play when it was black,
but in an environment full of impressive blue
morphs and Ixidron, it could catch on. This
would be interesting to bluff as a Brine
Elemental or Willbender or something. And it
might even hit for a card once. Not twice, mind
you.

A very nice card. Especially if you can somehow
give it evasion. If your opponent can't block
it, this card becomes a must-handle. And, being
in blue, there are ways to protect it (and force
it through, in many cases). However, the target
on this thing's head is almost as big as the one
on Wellwisher. As a result of that, and the fact
that card slots would have to be dedicated to
actually getting it through unblocked, I don't
expect it to see a lot of play.

Finally to end the week we get Headhunter's blue
cousin. Headhunter was cool, and honestly, so is
this guy. However, Headhunter fits better into a
black deck than a blue one, as black can go
aggro much more effectively than blue can.
Still, in multicolor decks (do I smell U/B?),
this guy can be handy as he comes down quick
style.
In casual, you'd probably be better off with
Headhunter and a black deck.
In limited, it's a morph and it hits their hand.
I would snatch this up and expect to play it if
I were blue, as it is uncommon just like
Headhunter. All in all a great 2 or 3 drop.
