Ah another idiot who believes all creature with 3 toughness or less are worthless due to reprint of lightning bolt. I mean . . this creature was, up to this point, destroyed by doom blade, terror, incinerate, terminate, ghastly demise, cruel edict, diabolic edict, flamebreak, smother, slaughter pact, soul reap, wretched banquet, vendetta, shard volley, strafe, sunlace, etc. And now, a addition of lightning bolt into this list, makes this card completely pointless. I would give 0/5 to your comment . . but I guess .5/5 will do.

hm, reliquary tower and spellbook are usually better. The fact that its a wizard is a small condolence, as you could just play another wizard for that 3 mana you didn't have to spend to cast spell book.
@cerealboxofdoom: you may want to think about Circular Logic, if you're combining countering with discarding.
@TDL: It isn't lightning bolt that renders the card useless, it's Spellbook and Reliquary Tower.
Having the wizard type is small consolation for a card with such a big target on it. If you've got 12 cards in your hand, and this thing gets killed, you have to discard 5 cards as well. Much safer to keep this ability on an artifact or a land.
