Okay so trying to solve a few problems with this card. 1. We need another twin creature at common. 2. No one really likes Twincoil Serpents in an aggro deck which RWU is, so new Twin card needs to be U 3. We have Twin at 2 and 5 cmc, so needs to be either 3/4 cmc 4. Stormcloud Drake is proving divisive, perhaps use its slot This may be too complex for a common, but it fills the hole whilst providing some options. Repeatable Wind Drake for 4 mana, return earlier twins for replay, get blown out by removal in response.

Crap it doesn't work, as the twin forces you to bounce a guy too.

Well they can both target the same creature so that's okay! This is a really odd card though!

changing to Kieran's fix for now

Hmm, this card is pretty complicated. Maybe we just make it a Twin Flying Men at 2U. Makes it super similar to the CDE common, but I think we were talking about changing that. I'd like to just do it as 3U - Twin 2/1 high fliers, but then there are power level concerns.

This is now way better than the wedge common. Can we not just make the wedge common do this and do something else for the blue twin?

Okay switching up for some Phantom Warrior action
