Attempt at a Battlemage. An alternative is more expensive activated abilities that don't require tapping. Or two GB abilities. Or a UG ability and a UB ability. And of course the abilities themselves are up for grabs.

Getting my wedges right ...

What is the thinking on these all being 2 mana 2/2 rather than the traditional 3 mana 2/2?

If we want Battlemages in I think they should be how people expect them to be (3 mana 2/2s). Otherwise we shouldn't be calling them battlemages as it will just confuse Shards players!

Just a slip of the mind to cost them at {2} instead of {3} ... you know I love me a bear with upside!
