Seems pretty bad compared with, say, Snapping Drake. Or Giant Octopus.

Did you know that the developers considered Giant Octopus in 9th edition to be a mistake because it was too good? Crazy, huh? It's been a number of years since, Hill Giant is no longer a strong draft pick and I'm pretty sure Giant Octopus is par for the course nowadays. I just find it funny that a 3/3 for 3U was too efficient a ground pounder in 2005.

Blue still doesn't get 3/3s for 4 at common or uncommon. It's very rare for blue to get a Phantom Monster. But it does occasionally get a 4/3 OR 4/4 flyer for 4 like Conundrum Sphinx. Thanks, rarity. :/

Yes Alex it is worse (though I bumped it to 3/3), but Snapping Drake wasn't right for the set and you need to design less good (great English there I know) cards, say to go in hypothetical pre-constructed decks so new players have options as they learn about what to keep/remove

Fair enough. Those are actually good points (even though some players don't think they are).
