For {1}{U}{B} It can destroy itself. I would rather have a shade without the other ability for less myself.

Deathamoor: Why would you do that friend? You have to pay {B} and then {1}{U}; It will become a 4/2 creature. Very versatile.

It can be a wall or an attacker. Not particularly good at either, but Black creatures weren't all that good at the time. usable in Ice Age Block, if only for the thought provoking artwork.

Read the ruling. P/T switching is always applied last.

If you spend 1Blue it becomes 5/1 and if you then spen Black} it becomes 4/2.

for BlackBlackBlackBlack and then 1Blue you get to start all over again!

I didn't create this card so I can't be held to this but it seems like the oracle text messed up the goofy intention of this card.

Pretty nice random card. Reminds me of Frostburn Weird, which is sick in RTR limited. This would be a decent cube card or something.

This card reminds me of how much I hate the way layer rules are currently done. The switching of power and toughness should just be a one-time thing and not reverse further affects... Either way, this card's abilities seem kind of redundant, unless you feel the need to suddenly switch on the fly.

This card wants combat damage to go on the stack. Without it hes much worse. With it he can effectively be a 5/5 for 1Blue a turn.
