2/2

Good GOD, this will be broken for Simic decks. It's a counterspell attached to a 2/2 essentially. It's almost a free card for you interms of card advantage because this guy doesn't cost you a card to counter a spell.

3.5/5

This card got broke. It's...potential is overwhelming. Free 2/2 AND it counters a spell? Think Counterspell + Creature. Pretty worth it. The mana is about the same, but it's in one card. More efficiency.

4/5.

I love the flavor. I love the mechanics. I love everything.

Everything EXCEPT the mana cost. GUU is very mana intensive and you should think twice about your mana coverage before you stick this guy in.

I like how you can have soooo many options with this card. The obvious one is a counterspell with a 2/2 snakey gift. The other is like a Flash Foliage. Im sure youd use the counterspell option 97% of the time. But atleast you have options when you're in a deep hole.

3 color specific mana? Bad.

Counter? Good.

It all works out in the end. 3/5
