For the cost, it should have... uhh... trample? Maybe not haste, but red does like its haste.

There are interesting cards with echo -- ones that have 187 triggers, death triggers, haste, ect -- and then there is this sorry SOB.

0.5/5, Why you ask?
For 4 mana, I can have Skizzik, Avalanche Riders or Flametongue Kavu, all of which have useful abilities and Riders have the same echo cost
For 1 more mana, I can keep Skizzik in play or use Savage Firecat, which is bigger and has trample
This silly thing doesn't even have haste or trample, fail WotC FAIL!

I love how the weakest-costed midrange creatures tend to have flavor text that sounds like braggadocio but carries an undercurrent of self-mockery.
Case in point: "fools and fuels are one and the same" sounds badass, until you tap down your four Mountains and realize you're the one fueling this guy.

Each Time Spiral card was an homage to at least one previously printed card.
