I mean there are plenty of reasons for them to have a hard floor and a hard ceiling on these cards, but let's get real: They'd be more fun without either.

Just thinking about it this morning: converge means moving towards a single point. Surely the mechanic asking you to spend mana of different colours should be called diverge?

I realised today that this is precisely the card I want (a cheap Flash flier in Blue), but I feel all of the rest of the text is just asking for my drafter's trust to be betrayed. Changing the text to anything but spirit just becomes too strong, but a generic 2/1 Flash Flier is kind of boring (even if it is what I am looking for).

Ok, not anything... 'target Brushwagg' is probably fine.

I don't think it's necessarily too strong to have 'target creature you control'. Sure, the card is good, but isn't that okay if we're trying to get people to play it?

I tried it out for a long time, but it never worked. It was one of those that would get last-picked passed to me and I'd think, sweet, this time for sure.

Maybe I've stepped down the power level enough or added enough sweet white aggro to try it again since then, but my impression was it was about 80% of what it needed to be. Very elegant card though.

i would happily draft just a 2/1 flying flash for 1u in plenty of cubes, granted, it's nothing flashy, but not everything has to be

here's some possible easy & 'fair' options for improving a 2/1 flying flash are
unearth {3}{B};
cycling {2};
madness {1}{U};
when ~ dies scry 1;
{W}: gain vigilance eot;
multikicker {3}: put a +1/+1 counter;
{2}, discard a card: return ~ to owner's hand;
kicker {1}{U}: bounce a creature;
bestow {2}{U}{U} + enchantment creature ofc;
metalcraft - unblockable
suspend 3 -- {U}

You forgot: "{1}{c}: Target opponent exiles the top card of his or her library. If it's a land card, you may return CARDNAME to its owner's hand." ;)
