Not the greatest creature, but essential in the tempo you want to build in the early game for U/R hybrid. Outside of that, I would never play it.

This looks more like something out of time spiral.

Its real power is Clout of the Dominus By turn two you've got a flying shrouded 3/3 with haste. If I had a clout, Stream Hopper, and Magefire wings in my starting hand though, I'd probably save the Magefire wings for a riverfall mimic or a noggle bandit.

i'm sorry, but the artwork just makes that thing look like the weakest creature ever to exist. It can.....hop over streams haha.

I use four in my U/R deck to activate Riverfall Mimic as often as possible, mostly after I enchant the mimic with Clout of the Dominus.
There are probably better cards that would help me do the same thing, but i like the one drop.

Save Warrior Creature type, this is strictly better than Goblin Balloon Brigade.

Still an imperative part to my {UR} set-specific deck. The tempo is great, and the Hopper is usually swinging for four by turn three. Plus, as StasisMage said, the tempo is everything.

@ all the stinky blue mages liking this dumb card:
Strictly less ROFLMAO than Goblin Ballon Brigade. The Goblins would kill this guy, and inflate him when they run out of toads.

It's not a Cyclops so much... he's got only one arm and leg too. Robbed of his better half, get it?

For all the idea of losing half his body through the Aurora, this is actually based on the fachan from Scottish legend. The fachan was a goblin with but one of everything. One eye, one tooth, one arm, one leg, possibly one finger, etc. Despite its withered appearance, its arm was incredibly strong, and it had a fondness for wrecking orchards by swinging a vicious iron chain around. Its head bore a mane of black feathers and an impossible-to-bend tuft of hair, and its mouth was extremely wide. Supposedly, just seeing a fachan could cause one to suffer a heart attack from sheer horror. (Too bad this was in the wrong colors for fear...)

Can't exactly make a R/U goblin deck (obviously that's not what this is suggesting, but still.)
