Sweet card, like it!

Thinking more on it it is probably terrible as is. Should probably get a larger pump or a permanent +1/+1 counter. Compare to Cloudfin Raptor which was usually pretty strong, but still required a good curve out of drops to make it any bigger than 2 power. Spells are a lot rarer than creatures so this will be harder to pump than Cloudfin Raptor.

Was thinking about putting up a wedge colour card that got +1/+1 counters on spellfall, maybe that's what it should be at common? In order to be "aggro" there need to be spells that create tokens so that spellfall guys can grow and you can also put more threats on the board. Evolve worked really well in that regard as each dude you played made your other dudes better.

We already had a wedge guy that got +1/+1 on casting an instant/sorcery. (Fervid Invader). In playtesting he was pretty miserable.

Could potentially make it a pump on creating a token creature. We could easily make this wedge 'aggro tokens' and if you play something that makes multiple little guys in one go this could be pretty big for a turn.

Lets test out Kieran's 'token' theme for RWU

I think it's worth getting +1/+1 permanently, also interacts with the creatures with counters on can't block guy

+1/+1 until end of turn sounds too weak but if we dial tokens up it *might* be good. +1/+1 counter per token means this guy is frequently attacking in the air as a permanent 3/3 on t2. That sounds too good to me, rather than a just reward for collecting the perfectly reasonable W token-making 2 drop?
