I've said it before, shade-pump is a hugely powerful ability, but it is not quite so good on a creature with defender. Spend your mana on a Wall of Frost instead, unless you desperately want to kill something and have mana to burn.

An overlooked card, you can quite easily pump him up to block a big guy with trample. Still, when it comes to the mana cost, you have to go with Wall of Frost.

So the Lemures in this flavor text are they the wrong ones (Hyalopterous Lemure) or the right ones (Viscid Lemures)? It sounds like they're the wrong ones...

I liked this guy a lot back in the day. You rarely had to actually sink the blue mana into pumping it, because the fact that you *could* (blue mages always have blue mana sources untapped on the opponent's turn!) usually meant that you usually didn't get attacked at all. In fact, relative to the big 0/X walls, this cold-war mentality often held off multiple attackers. An opponent with 2 3/3s wouldn't attack with either of them for fear of you pumping up and killing one and keeping your wall, whereas if you had a low-power tough wall they'd keep attacking in groups to get one attacker through wile the blocked one lived on.
