Stop being so clever with mystic if you don't have to. This is just a cantrip, except they can take away the card by killing the creature.

I'm not even sure why you think that could cost four mana.

It's not often that a card worse than Carrier Pigeons gets designed...

It is very slightly different.

For example, the card imprinted isn't in your hand; so "All players empty their hand" effects become asymmetrical. (Though so do wrath effects, in a bad way.)

But yeah, this does cost too much; and there's no evidence that kind of clever combo is what you were aiming at with it. Given Mulldrifter, you could probably cost this a lot cheaper. I'd try . That would be exciting and then the potential downside becomes part of the justification for the low low cost, while also giving you the chance for clever a combo later.

I still think something that wants to be a cantrip creature isn't worth all those words and keyword plus confusion for very narrow combos that work best with effects that are almost a) exclusively in black and b) still incredibly scarce.

right now it's a weird upside/downside storm crow and i don't know what to with it. i might just replace it.
