Instants and Sorceries aren't a very big feature of this set currently. And the benefit here of being able to move this around isn't very exciting. Woo, surprise extra toughness! Am I missing something?

I think the reason instants/sorceries are not a huge feature is that all of our wedge keywords are creature based, and so we are massively overbalanced in terms of creatures vs spells ratio. We have ~66% creatures and ~33% spells, when a normal set ratio is much closer to 50/50. Formation will give us a slight lean towards spells and make cards like this ever so slightly better. Regarding this card itself it is pretty unexciting. I originally had it as a +1/+1, but even that might not be interesting enough. Perhaps it should grant a keyword ability or have flash, or draw a card when it enters the battlefield? People might try to abuse it as a draw engine then.

Adding Flash to maybe entice somebody into playing this.

I still don't think I would ever play this.
