I never understood why this has a Gruul symbol in the text of the card, but the colors (And artwork) reflect the Izzet guild.

the gruul symbol was a typo. I think this card is okay, but auras are not your friends,

Movable Auras are.

kinda expensive. Why not just run something like one of the many pingers like prodigal pyromancer or cunning sparkmage instead?

The Ravnica block was a good one for funny flavour text and card names.

I just like the name. Beyond that, not terribly interesting.

Razor Boomerang is this in equipment form.
Of course to balance it they made a few adjustments.

I imagine this would have been useful for deathtouch creatures before everyone got twelve copies of Basilisk Collar. These days, it could be funny with an Infect creature, or possibly one of the legends from Kamigawa block so that you can pretend Mr. Miyagi is fighting for you.

*comment about Razor Boomerang lol*
This was a decent mana sink for breaking stalemates back in the day, and it's just a fun card in general. Ravnica had lots of those. The misprinted symbol was also fairly exciting for a teenager :D

Finally they allow to search for the Ravnica block "Marked" cards...! Yeaaaah!
And this card is in the Izzet section, luckly!

Nice card, balanced but a little hard to abuse with its ability. However transform a creature in a pinger, which sometimes could be very good and comboable!

3.5/5

Five stars just for the typo.

So guild watermarks are now in Gatherer and this shows up as Izzet. I guess, finally, we can say this card has been "errata'd" to the proper guild!

I would very much like to have one of these in an infect deck.

I can imagine the discussion between the two Gruul who got these.

"What it do?"
"It burn thing!"
"What this do?"
"Don't burn thing! Thing is bad!"

And then the confused Gruul proceeded to wipe out Ravnica with their new found powers.

Yes, this bloodthirst enabler couldn't be further from gruul.
I think it should have been in Dual Decks Izzet so that it could be printed with a corrected watermark (really no other reason) but as is, I find myself wanting to build a blood thirst deck with this in it. just because it will fit right in haha.

Is no one going to mention the flavor text? It's hilarious
