Random generator gave me an Island. Okay, I got to color shift a spell blue. Then it gave me Sea Serpent.
Sea Serpent?! In the past, if I got the same color, I've made the card either 'more blue' or colorless. But that card can't get any more top-down blue, and it's kind of silly as an artifact creature. Though, I admit, it wouldn't have been too hard if Scrapdiver Serpent didn't already exist. I've said before that I'm just waiting for the day two cards give me a reprint... but getting a reprint off of an inexact color shift doesn't seem right to me.
Anyhow, I worked on it for a while, and eventually found the bastard child of Sea Serpent and Yavimaya Druid. What an odd couple those two made. They said it wouldn't last, and they were right.
The card looks fine to me (power level excluded), and I'd put it in Alpha, but all the blue slots are filled over there. Off to the workbench with you.
