­Dawn Elemental is a direct reprint of Dawn Elemental. I designed this to be its "opposite number" but I think it is a bit stronger though which is why I dropped its toughness by a point.

I don't think this would be overpowered at 3/3. Four coloured mana is a lot, and a typical creature gets dealt damage a lot more than its damage gets prevented. So Dawn Elemental is stronger than this. Dawn is a hard-to-kill flyer, where this is just a random flyer that'll occasionally kill something it otherwise wouldn't have.

I think I was hung up on the two having a fight as this negates the dawn elemental's ability. Thinking of changing flying on this to Shadow, Intimidate or something else more "dark" oriented.

Actually, when I saw this, I thought "Why didn't he make it a 3/4? That way, despite the fact that Dawn Elemental would be the better all around creature, this creature would trump it." That philosophy, however, may not be a sane approach. Use with caution.
