Mashup of Erratic Shapeshifter and Ethereal Champion.

I took the life payment -> prevention aspect from champion into the shapeshifter. This probably isn't balanced, but it trades off becoming more flexible in exchange for always needing a life cost.

There are few shapeshifters that can shift at will, so I don't know if it should be avoided: at any rate, it can normally only do so by using up a limited result.

Whoo. Exciting.

Curious to be base 3/4; most clones are rather smaller, and you'll often not want to use the ability if all there is on the board is smaller stuff.

­Artisan of Forms can also switch multiple times, almost at will, but using up a limited resource (in this case, spells in hand that target creatures), so this seems probably fine from this point of view.

Thank you!

Yeah, I decided to use the stats from Ethereal Champion (and even erratic shapeshifter wasn't a usual shapeshifter size), partly so you don't need to make the life payment in order to get a mid-size blocker.

But it is very unusual; Quicksilver Gargantuan is almost the only exception, which makes me wonder if there's a better reasons shapeshifters always start as small than I could think of.

Ah, good. THanks.
