Changed from rebel to Soldier

This feels underwhelming at the moment.

Give it flying on both sides?

Sounds good to me.

Isn't it odd we have this in white and (((Bazaar-Street Tinkerer))) in blue?

Possibly a little, this design is reasonably replaceable.

Considering that BFZ had Kitesail Scout Eldrazi Skyspawner and Cloud Manta is not that weird.

Its weird them having the same mechanics however. I have nothing against a 1 mana 1/1 flier with upside. What about combining with Trite Citizen?

So a 1/1 flier with the pump? A new take on Beetleform Mage?

Remember, the big upside to Revolution is that the backside can do more than a keyword, unlike Renown. We want to emphasize that. The problem, of course, is finding abilities that one can 'predict' from the upside that also don't take a lot of space.

I'd just prefer a different keyword, personally. Why is it important that this is a 1/1 flier for 1?

This is the big problem with Revolution, especially in a set with Renown. I suspect one or other of them is going to have to go, because they are fighting for the same kind of space. In a set with Revolution but without Renown, I'd expect the common Revolution cards to just work basically like Renown cards, with the uncommons and up having the funkier text boxes on the back side.

Alex: I do agree, but I've been keeping both in the file while I consider other options.

Possibility for CW03. Flying is a bit problematic when compared to Bazaar-Street Tinkerer, in my opinion.
