Dropped from 3/4 to 3/3.

by Vitenka:

Yow. The current cost of either half of this is about {u} {u} {2} or {u} {4}

Ok, not getting to choose which half you get is worth a downcost; but that much?

by Alex:

I think this'd be more likely to be {2} {u} or poooossibly {u} {u} , yeah. Curiously reminiscent of Indentured Djinn while actually being completely different.

by Link:

Vexing Devil gets to cost just {r} ... but admittedly, this is a whole lot better.
It's the card draw that's a problem, right? These days, a 3/3 for {2} {u} , or even {u} {u} , even with flying, doesn't seem that impressive. Blue gets a possible 3-power flyer at common in Delver of Secrets, and this is a rare.

Made the 2s into 3s.

by Alex:

Ooh, diddier. Now it's Divination or Wind Drake for {2} off. Less exciting - could probably be uncommon rather than rare - but amusing and playable.

by Vitenka:

Still looks like "I will run four of this card in my deck" to me, mind you. But much safer at this power.
