Pumpable blue critters are very few and far between, extra points for that.

Let me get this straight - 5 mana for a 2/3?!
I understand it's blue, and that it's ability can allow it to become stronger, but it's toughness will always be at 3. A bolt or anything else will kill it dead on, and if the opponent is cruel enough, they will wait until after you've spent all your mana pumping him to use the bolt.
Bad. If you want a pump creature, use Nantuko Shade.

Because we all know how easy it is to run Nantuko Shade in mono blue.

No red mage can get Lighning Bolt to resolve against a competent blue mage unless they let it.

I always thought that was some unfortunate hand placement in the art there.
@tavaritz: wouldnt this blue mage need to keep back 2 or 3 mana for a counterspell, therefore ruining the pumpability of this card? We all dont run FoW and daze

Flavor text is pretty awesome, though it suggests that this thing has flying, which it clearly doesn't...

First of all, I miss the old mirrored pairs.
Second, as a Vorthos I appreciate the synergy between art and flavor text, which is perfect here (and not in the Fifth Edition version)!
Third, I love old weirdos, and this is a 100 meters tall 2/3 with "
In my opinion, an unplayable card worth 5 cent and 5 stars!
