I love this card for no other reason than that it is flavourful and cool, as well as mostly functional. It is two creatures for one, sorta, and the 3/3 body is surprisingly beefy. It is also useful that the Butterfly has flying. Would probably be my favourite of all time if the Butterfly was also 3/3. The flavour text is great too, and I prefer this art to the Masques art. Doesn't quite make sense as is. 5/5 for all-round fun.

Please reprint me in a core set, with the same art and flavor text.

Dear Garfield, yes! This needs to be put in a basic set, hopefully M12!
Of course, if they were to do so, it'd probably end up being 2Green, and make a 2/2 flier for Green, powercreep being what it is.

Why doesn't a giant caterpillar turn into a giant butterfly?

"Why doesn't a giant caterpillar turn into a giant butterfly?"

It's as strong as an Icatian infantry unit; that's gotta be a damn big butterfly.

If it turned into a giant butterfly token it would automatically have the giant creature type, right? Even though it obviously isn't a giant.

I imagine that's probably why, but I could be wrong. I mean we're talking about Visions here.

I would prefer a revamped reprint where you got the butterfly even it goes to the graveyard, rather than having to sac and pay.

Strictly more ridiculous than Goblin Game. How charming though. Maybe it could go in a deck with Emerald Dragonfly.

if this was 5 for a 4/4 with its ability resulting in a 2/2 flyer that'd be cool, too. Still though, this card is fun.
