It's the most amazing Magic art that I've seen. The creature itself is so-so, but the art is wonderful.

This art is, like, out of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor block. Outstanding.
Card? Ehhh, it's fine.

This ability feels much more Red to me. I know this sort of effect has traditionally been Blue, but it's a short-term gains effect which is flavorfully Red. Considering that Blue is able to get its fingers on a lot more mechanics than Red, R&D should move this over.

It's like a hydra (the actual animal) mixed with that hydropseudopod from Abyss. I love the concept, blue got some really cool aquatics this set.

Flowstone Shambler, finally done right. While Flowstone Shambler was always a 2/2 or a 3/1 (neither of which is good), this guy's power and toughness are always decent for a 3 CMC Blue creature.

I don't know how I feel about combat tricks in Blue. Thankfully, the only trick with this card will be whether to draft it or throw in an additional Island instead.

Whenever something reminds me of Morpha, I have WW2-like flashbacks to the Water Temple when I was like 8... *shudders*

I've NEVER liked this type of P/T trade ability. Oh well.

It's like the Flowstone guys, except less stone and all about flow.

Connie Willis describes a creature identical to this one in her short story "Uncharted Territory". She calls it Tsili Tsala or something, meaning "no passage" or "don't cross".
If you like the art, check out his deviant art page for it...IT HAS A FACE!! You can't tell from the small art on the card. Amazing work. --> http://guterrez.deviantart.com/#/d57cdbf

This guy is quite formidable in draft; I came second in a tourney and my three watercoursers must have killed about seven or eight attended knights between them, as those guys are everywhere. That extra toughness makes a real difference, and they can pack a punch when they get through.

This plays really well with the Exalted cards of M13, every point of toughness can be turned into more power.
