Bit weird to have a Specter without flying. Also a bit strange to have the asymmetrical "draw 2, they discard 1". We've had the "discard 2" version (Silent Specter) and the "discard 1, they draw 1" version (Dimir Cutpurse), but I don't like this in-between state.
This card design was basically Abyssal Specter stapled to Ohran Viper stapled to Scroll Thief -- three colors, three saboteur effects that deal with cards in hands. I think the card plays better without flying (you actually have to put in effort to get it to connect), so I should probably just reconcept it as something other than a specter. The name was really just there to be a nod-and-a-wink to the inspiration anyway.
