That's right, kids - with enough balloons even YOU can fly. Bad credit? No credit? No problem! Am a goddamned Wall of Stone? Easy enough! With Balloon Peddler brand balloons, any creature, from big to small, can touch the sky.

Also, I'm left with a funny image of the balloon peddler desperately tying balloons to a floodgate in a last-ditch effort to wipe out an opposing force.

combos well with storm crow, so you can then Cremate it. plus, your devoted hero temporarily becomes a strom crow

The woman on the right has no balloons of her own, feels self-conscious at the sight of the other woman's balloons, and so pays up her hard-inherited cash to get her own balloons. Good scam.

Also, turning any spell into Jump isn't much of an achievement..
I've seen even Goblins manage similar..

Goblin Balloon Brigade is one step ahead of these balloon-buying chumps.

What is so wrong with these balloons that the kid feels he must stop this transaction? Are they highly combustible? Filled with poison? You can't actually see the balloons, themselves, so maybe they are all Cosmic Larva?

Turns your useless lands into a one-shot Jump? Not all that bad, all things considered...

Niche card, I can imagine a few far fetched combos with this, but to be honest, blue decks are already known for flying creatures, this card belongs in a multicolored deck.
Still, I like the concept and it can be a good card in the right situation.
