ew m12 sucks so far.
come on wotc, reprint some classic, good stuff.
think of all those awesome cards that are not good enough for legacy. that type 2 would love to see agian.
I'm always so mixed, on cards like these. On the one hand, cheap aggro creatures are great; and really, how often does your opponent play effects that don't flat out kill a creature, anyway? On the other hand, I intensely dislike having to rely on super easy to kill creatures.

I'm just assuming that this is replacing Phantom Beast and being instead used in a more non-standard draft deck. (Because seriously, who drafts blue aggro?) (One benefit of not having to wait 4 turns to cast it is that your opponent may not have drawn into removal yet. Compare the beatdowniness to Red's coreset 1-drops...)
Either that or we're headed for some really weird stuff this fall...
That Giant growth they drafted will kill this haha- oh wait. Seriously though, your opponents targeting will usually be removal anyway in standard. I want to see some blue aggro work instead of the usual boring match where UB sits behind removal until it drops a game ender. Mirror matches are a yawn fest.

I like this, anything that will target him likely would have killed him anyways. Seems like a pretty solid 1 drop for architect aggro if that ever becomes a thing.
"or ability" and "Not a Merfolk" hurt this card a bit, but it's still going to be on the list of options if you are running an aggressive deck running blue. At least tacking on "an opponent controls" would have made him a lot cooler. Will probably never see play in a format dominated by equipping creatures with swords.
Honestly, as long as they keep at least standard in mind when creating cards, and still have it function in limited, I'm happy. I'll take this over Scathe Zombies, Goblin Pikers, and Hill Giants any day of the week.
However, in today's culture of Justin Bieber, Jersey Shore, and Twilight, where every song on the radio, every program on television and every site on the internet is just another monument to the pinnacle of human stupidity, it's certainly not the worst thing that people could be watching.
The only, ONLY use I can see outside ofa beer coaster is if there is an enchantment or artifact that gives all of your permanants shroud. But if this is the case, there can be a whole/strange deck that'll be black/blue.
Really, this is just a 12/13th pick in drafts. Limitted jank...
... just watch, somehow this'll find a decent home and be a somewhat useable common... and I'll eat my boot in a hobo stew...
wait, I just made a funny... "beer [bear] coaster..." Hey, think I'll collect 2 place-sets, laminate them, and use them as Blue Bear Coasters...
OK, just read that Asceticism can be used. But one moderately jank rare doesn't make a deck. There now needs to be multiple forms of across-the-board-shroud.
What artifacts and/or enchantments are there that gives other mass shroud/hexproof...
This is perfect for Fish, but the main issue is that there is no basis for a non-Merfolk fish deck right now.
I mean, it has NO disadvantage if you think about it -- any spell that could target it in T2 is a spell that could kill it.
There is the fact that you dont get a chance to counter that spell, but oh well.

This IS a 1-drop though, so I'm sure I'll be tempted elsewhere...

Also if it is a baby Phantom Beast, it better have some cool art work with it as well. I love my foil Phantom Beast just because it looks awesome...

Anyway, 2/2 for 1 CMC can be useful even with heavy flaws iw we have enought tools to make an aggro deck. Let's see what else blue will pack.

Go ahead, waste removal on this 1 drop.
