at first i though meh, but as the cycle cost is the same as twitch, i decided not bad.

It's not that bad indeed.
If there should be really not much to target when the ability triggers, you could still always untap a land. This way you could effectively think of a cycling cost of 2 as well.

A decent body and cheap cycling make this guy ok in my book. Beautiful art as well!

This card can be played as a creature if needed to deal with some early threat, but I suggest to use its cycling ability to tap or untap a permanent and draw a card in the process. It's the optional abilities that makes this card quite worthy.

I wished the Sojourners abilities were come into play abilities.... except for this one. I'm ok with this one.

It's a twitch, with an alternate cost. I think it's fine.

this card would be pretty good if the cycle were for 2 rather than 3.. just puttin that out there xP i would much rather play have a Voltaic Key on the field.

Together with Skeleton shard, you have a repeatable, uncounterable Twitch, for 2UB on each repeat.

Even on it's own...It's twitch. I don't see the downside. The body is a bit flimsy, given the tri-color cost (See Woolly Thoctar), but on the curve if you have the mana diversity to cast it.

Overall, a nice common for someone running esper. I only wish I had more of them.

Much, much better than Twitch. Uncounterability of the Twiddle effect, paired with the option of a 2/3 body should you really need it? Yes, please!

"Even on it's own...It's twitch. I don't see the downside"

The downside is that it's Twitch.

This probably the best of the Sojourners, but that isn't saying much.

Its better than Twitch also that it can be recurred with Gravedigger.

Not too shabby. Yes, it's better than Twitch, but that isn't saying a whole hell of a lot. The nice thing about it is its versatility. A creature, a Twitch, or a graveyard trigger isn't too bad, and any card which can do all three without being overcosted as hell is good by me.

If only this way bant's one, it would have been 'perfect' for the Derevi, Empyrial Tactician precon.
