I love their new policy of having reprints in every single set. It's cool to see old cards in a new light.

Hey it doesn't need to be combat damage, so pingers become draw engines.

Did Invisible Stalkerneed more support? I mean seriously, it's like the entire set was made to buff him.

Playable, simple, and a low CMC. What else can I ask for?

Nice Bond reference pimpgenitus. Now I can't help but think of that werewolf as Sean Connery.

Great with Livewire Lash, to both trigger the lash on casting and get cards from it every time after, even better when you're running the lash on an infect creature, poison counters and cards, wheeeee, especially blighted agent, double draw!!! (of course only if you've played another spell before you attacked)

This+Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind=Win if you have more cards in your deck than they have life.

Cheap and effective. I don't see any problem with this card, especially since they can potentially stack. Put one on a Goblin Fireslinger and have some good fun.

I wonder if they have left out the magical word "combat" on purpose.
4/5 for combat damage. 5/5 for pinging damage as well.

Gelectrode in U/R burn loves this. You shoot your opponent, draw, and if it's an instant or sorcery you play it and do it again.

Things Innistrad Taught Me, part XVII: the most curious creature is Invisible Stalker.

...Fitting.

Should I enchant Black Cat with it?

This card seriously needs oracle text that says it destroys any cat it enchants.

If you enchant this to Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, you are a bad person.

My casual Izzet counterburn deck, with Gelectrode and Guttersnipe, had been missing ways to amass decent card draw. I put a few of these in there, and problem solved. It went from a mediocre deck to a powerhouse.

One of the few auras that's easily playable without being at too much risk of the 2-for-1 situation that many auras encounter. Simply put, you can cast it when you're pretty sure they won't be able to kill the creature in response (ie. they're tapped out), and at a time when that creature is going to be able to connect. Do that - and given that blue is the primary color of unblockable creatures and fliers, it shouldn't be too hard - and you'll effectively cantrip the aura, meaning that even if they can kill the creature when they untap, you won't suffer card disadvantage. If they allow it to get any more hits in, then that's card advantage off a one mana spell.

In short, very powerful for the mana cost.

Curiousity + Psychosis Crawler = draw your library everyone dies, unless they are playing a super life gain deck. Then Laboratory Maniac for good measure.

For the record, this does NOT work with Psychosis Crawler. The crawler causes life loss, which is not the same as damage (damage causes loss of life.)

Although there's no reason slapping this on a Guttersnipe with a psychosis crawler out cant be a good thing. Cast spells, deal damage and life loss, draw cards, repeat.

Among many others, Plague Spitter is a great draw engine, you're almost guaranteed to draw 1-2 on the first turn you play it; and 2 more every turn thereafter, and on top of the aggro and board control effects he provides.

@Pentavite625: If you enchant this to to Niv-Mizzet, The Firemind, you are a bad person

I've done that. I have no friends anymore :(

As soon as I got a Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind I got 4 of these into a deck! Perfect combo, insta-kill and draw as many cards as you want? LOVE THIS!!!
