Now where was the necessity to make this guy 0/1 again?

Another common that blatantly insults our intelligence.
Three mana for 0 power and 1 toughness, for a crappy ability that can't target yourself and requires you having more cards than the opponent.

It should have either been a 2/2 or the ability should not have been conditional. As it is, it's most definitely far from stellar.

I don't think he's as bad as every one makes him out to be. He is potentially a 0/4, but 3 of his toughness is transferrable to more valuable creatures you may have down. As a reusable fast-effect ability, that's not too bad.

Mother of Runes is so much better than this. Oriss, Samite Guardian outperforms this, if you're counting the amount of damage prevented. Even a legendary creature, Angus MacKenzie, is better, even considering mana costs.
