This card is cool but it can't exist at common with Priest of Orobis I don't think.

This doesn't really excite me as a 1/1. It is basically an enchantment. You end paying 6 mana for a 4 drop and a card draw. That may actually be good enough though. Will have to see how it plays.

Well with 2 x Priest of Orobis in your deck it's a pretty sick engine and only fliers can bother you. I was trying to make attractive but not Rhox War Monk-attractive wedge mechanic three drops. This is probably the least exciting-looking but I think it might actually be very good.

Is this any good? In a BUG deck there are better Emerge options (Deadly Filcher) and this doesn't seem a better creature than the 3/2 with Emerge for 2B since he is way easier to cast and has a relevant body when you don't have time to Emerge.

I think you need the body to be relevant, especially with triple colour mana and emerge costs. Maybe change the ability to "when ~ dies return another target creature card from your graveyard to your hand"?

This tabled all the way in the draft, with even the dedicated GUB player not taking it. Not a good sign for the signature wedge common. We could push it to a 2/2 to at least entice more people to play it. At least then we might find out it is really strong.

It looks bad and I'm starting to think it also actually IS bad. Probably retiring this soon.
