Hmm...what can I say about this card.  Well the alternative art form of this card is awesome.  Ok, that is about it on the positive note.  I would love to endorse this card, simply for the fact that its ability is really neat and totally unique.  However, being that this card gets X attack (the tens digit of your endurance) and X defense (the ones digit of your endurance) this card can best be described as shaky at best.  What I can tell you is this...90% of the time this guy will only have a 4 attack when he hits the field.  He will usually have a decent defense at this point, but this will be fleeting at best.  He has range, which can be useful since you are going to need to hide this guy starting turn 4.  His saving grave is evasion since you can get him off the field when needed, but this opens up issues regarding board control and taking endurance loss just because your character all of a sudden became sub par.  His effect also triggers at the start of the combat phase which is nice (since endurance you take during the attack step will not affect him) but this also leaves him open to effects during the draw and build phases (since he will be a 0/0 character).  If his effect triggered during the start of the draw phase then this guy would certainly deserve to be a rare.  As it is, he becomes a sub par rare that can be used in a fun deck.
