Extremely awesome art, but he's not worth it because of the Echo. If he cost one more and didn't have Echo, he'd be playable.

Card would be greatly playable without the annoying Echo...

Throwback to the fantastical Granite Gargoyle. Probably deserves 15/5 just for that.

Minor Set Back For A Good Red Flying Creature Plus Its A Gargoyle. Fits In The Low Red Flyer Mana Curve BTW

The echo is pretty intimidating, but that's the downside to what would otherwise be immensely better than all of red's vanilla 3-drops.
It's still playable, just slower. If you hit your next land drop, you'll still have enough for a Lightning Bolt, and isn't that all that matters?

This would be twice as playable if it had a recipe from the Underworld Cookbook in its flavor text. Or, any flavor text at all. I like the thought. I don't like the part where there's not enough room for more awesome :(

Echo is a bit much, but a durable red wall is appealing...

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

This card is referencing Granite Gargoyle.

Props for Timespiral referencing the mighty Granite Gargoyle, which is probably my favorite red creature of all time, just ahead of Ball Lightning. But minus props for that generic, grade-B Dungeons & Dragons artwork. Looks like EEEEEEEEEEEEEVERYTHING else.
