I fear this may be another member of an unbearably long line of Selesnya cards that look cool but have little impact.
But hey, this and Wight of the Reliquary seem to indicate a cycle of rare gold two-drops in the set. If there truly are others, maybe one of them will bear fruit!
I feel like this is actually a bit underwhelming compared to mulldrifter? You can still blink/scam/reanimate it, but you only get to draw cards on cast. I guess this is cute with undying evil– 5/5 Flying Annihilator 1 for {2}{U}{B} isn't terrible!
