It's like a more limited blue pacifism if you play it against a less skilled player.

This can neutralize a creature on the attack, for the creature can still block without any worries...

Kinda lame, but it is a single blue mana. In multiplayer they still get to beat on someone else with no worries, which is generally good for you too.

It would be fun to see her, defeat herself with her own creature, especially if that creature happens to be a gamewinner, the likes of Psycatog, Lord of the Pit, Mogg fanatic .
Blue is'nt much at all to spend on a cheap, short term fix for early/late attackers.

The original text of this card sounds like it's been Babelfished into four different languages and back again. Just chugging along, no commas in sight. The art must depict the editor who received the first draft of this card.

OW, MY BACK HURTS!

That's what the name sounds like.

...yes, yes, I know what it means to backfire. Don't even think about saying it.
