Nice; decently flavourful. Not really very powerful; but sometimes you just need a chump blocker or three.

I'd probably not cost this at double colour though - that's hard to cast for not a great benefit.

The comparison that springs to mind for me is Mogg War Marshal, though Spiny Starfish is also an obvious reference. Wall of Kelp as well, I guess.

And Mausoleum Guard, though the tokens from that were a lot more useful than 0/1 Starfish.

@ Vitenka I am fine adjusting the cost to {1}{u}.

@Alex Yes all those factored into the creation of this card, so did the fact that blue rarely gets cheap token creation.

I am thinking about upping the P/T to 2/3 and the number of tokens made by one to keep the cost, but I'd still like this to be common.

If you want to keep this common, definitely don't make it make three tokens.

would a 1/2 that leaves three 0/1's really be that strong? I would of course up the cost but would it?
