That's harsh - it's a classic pure black creature. Haste (though too costly to really call aggro), infect, zombie.

Well; blue gets zombies too now (the power of SCIENCE!) and red gets aggro. Haste? Green gets that somewhat; mostly as part of the cat tribal.

So a zombie firecat? Not very blue. The zombie link is pretty tenuous, to be frank. Make it do something with cards? Or.. make it jump. That's classically blue, and flying zombie firecats amuses me greatly.

Flavour text from casting cost, because it sounds like something an Elemental zombie Cat would say. Half groan, half purr. (Half insane Vitenkan giggling at the type line)

Annoyingly; this now lacks most justification for the {b/g} part of the cost. I leave it to flavour; but it's a bad card. Needs a rethink.

Maybe just make it a lot bigger as colour-cost reward? That's certainly green. Ah; and black doesn't mind "Big with downside" Could work?

make it bigger, to at least give SOME justification to the size. And merge the abilities.

Given the canonical order of sets of four mana symbols in costs, I think the most pronouncable is "Rrrgwuuu!" Which sounds like some sort of ghost zombie.

The pump ability should either be +1/-1 or not be {r/u}. Mono-blue doesn't get firebreathing (nowadays).

Surely (no white), it's Uuuuubrg. Which is... a ghost with indigestion?

I take umbrage at classifying a four-colour gold as mono blue :)
