A blue card is hiding in here somewhere. Oh yeah, bouncing.

More likely to 2-for-1 your opponent than either Hypnotic Specter or Abyssal Specter because once this guy hits play they have to discard. They can't just avoid it by blocking or bolting it. The 2/1 flying body is also a nice perk because it can put early game pressure on them out of a turn one Dark Ritual. It's also a deterrent against cards like Mystifying Maze.

Well it's a 3 turn card advantage almost the time : a 2/1 flyer that kills a card before born , along with ravenous rat turn 2 , a quick discard turn 1 and the opponent is 3 cards off .
Already been in this situation and that stinks cause you have Seven cards , played some land and tiny things and what left ? Not a lot and big cards you cannot play that i'm gonna sack the same way turn 4 ...
Okay against reanimator that stinks unless you got some munitions left to control with card advantage like this .

Just came across this card...replace my Hypies with this or not?

It's like Gloomhunter, except useful.

oh, look: Moon Knight's on a magic card. cool.

Its actually not that bad of a card. Make them discard and then fly over their forces and beat face.

Turn 1 Duress
Turn 2 Wrench Mind
Turn 3 This guy
What's not to like?

Just ordered a playset of these for my pauper monoblack deck; the jump in power level between these guys and, say, Ravenous Rats is just astounding: for an extra you get +1 power, flying, and you force each opponent to discard rather than just one. Great common.
