@ SyntheticDreamer: Despite being more aggressive, Delver doesn't draw you card.

I am not sure if this card is draftable or not..

This is like the 8th time they've printed a "combat damage = draw card" creature and I still have yet to see any of them included in any deck, ever. Obviously thats not entirely true but it seems like they should make it better if they want players to use it. Or just leave it the same if they merely wanted it to take up space as 1 out of 274. At least its got a 2 body instead of 1. Might see limited play this time, but I doubt this is draftable. Needs either unblockable of flying to actually do its job. Or luck. And you could fill 3cmc slots with much MUCH better cards.

She's fit... Oh yes, sorry, the card, right... Um, well yeah we've seen abilities like this on cards before. I'd like to say that this might be the best variant like I'd like to play, since I prefer making 2 damage while making my deck centered around her ability work (I'm referring to Scroll Thief doing only 1 damage or Ophidian). I'm actually happy with this since I can replace Scroll Thief in my blue ninja deck. She and Ninja of the Deep Hours are soooo gonna hang out together.

Eh, no thanks, I'll just delve for the secrets instead.
@Cyberium: I was commenting on the card's name, not that it isn't Delver/Delver isn't this. ;)

Pros like me will give this human evasion and steal not only non-pros' secrets, but also their hopes and dreams and desires.

Meh. This mechanic is solid enough, especially when combined with Rouge's Passage and Teleportal and the like. My major problem with her is her flavor: Explain to me how this random, non-legendary human person with no evasion and a fairly standard ability can out-sneak the god damned Dimir. I mean, for this is the DIMIR we're talking about. They make ninjas look clumsy.

The Rakdos would entertain her, if they knew her preferences...

Works well in detain decks so she can get her damage in. Continual card advantage helps keep momentum.

I drafted 6 of these once. It was hillarious.

I drafted four of these last night for my Azorius deck. One game my opponent got mana screwed, and I managed to have all four on the board at once. LIVING THE DREAM

how do they know we would hire her? i mean, how would they know that certain guild that we belong to would hire her? uh, that is, how would the Dimir know...

3/5. It deals damage and nets card advantage. Use with Rogue's Passage in limited.

"Gruul would draft her if they... splashed... blue?"
The Izzet would ask her out, if only they could work up the nerve. The Simic...would turn her into a frog mutant.

@DoragonShinzui
I can see your point about her not having evasion, but at that point, they would need to increase her rarity and her CMC, or risk making her far too good. Can't have both.
As for Dimir making Ninja look clumsy... hyperbole, much? I haven' t read any of the novels, but I've seen nothing to suggest one is more stealthy than the other. In fact, with a whole guild, I would think some of their activities are harder to hide than it would be for a small group... but I digress. They're they same colors, and have similar abilities...

Ahh, whatever, I'm dropping it.
