Hmmm. It'll normally be the same as Regenerate or Withstand Death restricted to an attacking creature. But this behaves differently in a variety of circumstances. Since this will fog the attack I feel it could still be cheaper; cf Energy Arc.

It costs 2 b/c of being a hybrid card, which are usually costed slightly above the equivalent monocolor card.

­Rakdos Cackler and Judge's Familiar somehow missed that piece of advice. It seems the difference between hybrid and mono-color is less and less nowadays.

But that's probably neither here or there. For a {1}{w}, I'd expect to draw a card for this effect. You know, like in the spell To Arms!. To be honest, even if this card drew me a card, and To Arms! only untapped one creature, I'd still think To Arms! was the more powerful spell, hybrid or no hybrid.

I know red isn't normally supposed to be allowed to have this ability. But giving red an ability, then underpowering it... you'd think people would be happy just to have access to the shiny new thing. But really, that's how you get cards with low star rating.
