Am... odd restriction. Effectiveley means it can't attack the turn you draw it and nothing else? Oh wait - it doesn't have haste; so it couldn't anyway. So just cast it in your combat phase.
And kinda sorta "Hexproof but all its equipment falls off"? Fiddly.
Seems like a lot of fiddliness to me. Why not just knock off all the text after "Flash", and add "Hexproof"? Or is that too good?
You're unlikely to get any equipment to stick to it anyway, for making it fall off the next time it's targeted by something.
On the other hand, it's pretty good with Nomads en-Kor and one of the many soul sisters, even the green one!
Urk! Yeah, that's a bit horrible, isn't it? Didn't realise damage would fall off too.
Really, I can't see how that drawback is a drawback... it does seem to just be extra words, which may have made sense if the card screamed for some top down flavor... but it just looks like a flashing beast on this side of the table.
You're all right - was trying to be too tricky and ended up with a weird card, Flash and Hexproof suit it much better.
(Preserving history, was "When targeted, flickers" and "Flash, Cannot be cast during your main phase")
Hmm. Obsoletes a few things including Ashcoat Bear and Humble Budoka. Which isn't to say it's unprintable, of course; it's still basically just a bear.
Awww, I liked it the way it was.
Returned it to it's original targeted blink, could have given it Shroud (as that was closer to this ability than Hexproof) but that took too much interaction out of the card.
I've decided I really like this. I guess its now being HH cost helps.
