I don't get why they made her cost . A cost of would have been perfectly fine for what she does. Most spellshapers have an effect that's equal to target sorcery or instant. This one just provides a watered-down Panic. It would have been a lot cooler if they kept the slowtrip effect.

If it had haste, I would have included it in my madness/threshold deck, but I opted for a Grixis Battlemage since my deck was Blue/Black/Red anyway and the battlemage did more overall.
This is not a terrible card considering it's just a common and comes out second turn (About the time you would actually start to need its ability) And can start great combos with madness cards or putting unearth/scavenge/anything you want to resurrect later into your graveyard.
Not good, not bad, kinda decent early game creature for getting one of your cheap goblins past someones 1/2 creature but there are much better cards to take care of blockers once you hit 3+ mana.

discard is a very expensive drawback. unless your deck is built around discard /self-mill, 90% of the time, the card you would discard is more valuable actually being casted..
BUT! IF you do have a self-mill/ discard deck, then this guys is just another useful cantrip.
2.5/5, decent if you build around it. Also, I rarely see red self-discard/mill decks unless it's a madness deck, so coloring may be, at times, somewhat undesirable.
