Nice and compact effect. A Glacial anchor most of the time, but it can keep attackers alive through removal or allow them to attack unblocked for the kill.

I don't know why this card is rated so poorly. Like orim said, it has uses.

To be honest, I like the splice mechanic... I think it's disappointing that it was restricted to Arcane spells, but it REALLY has potential as a card reusable mechanic... Maybe they will bring it back in the future?
(Also, something that makes me giggle in a manly way: you have more options now, because yuo can splice onto morphlings. :)

@TopRomen: Actually, I don't think you can, because Arcane is not a creature type.

@draco_nite: Correct. And, anyway, how is Morphling arcane?

@Fanaticmogg I think he meant Changelings. And either way he was wrong

Combo with the Unspeakable, uses the protection to shield Unspeakable and attack to get it back repeatedly.

one mana to protect your creature from almost anything, how can you go wrong, wait I get to reuse it again and again. 5/5.

Oddly enough, I end up using it more as a Splice Bridge than as an actual Splicer. I think that's the fate of Arcane Instants though. Still dang useful, and the odd moment when you do splice it is nice.

What if they had Splice onto "Blah" where blah was something else? They get to reuse the rule but it could be "splice onto Creature", etc..
If done really well it could be super-flavorful. Imagine
{1}{R} Gather the Elders Return a creature you control to it's owner's hand; search your deck for a card with the same creature type, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Splice onto Goblin {1}{R}
It's like the goblin went to grab someone important!
