Would we consider the alternative of this?

"When ~ etbs, return target creature with power less than or equal to your advancement to it's owner's hand."

Thats more complex. I believe we are keeping the 4 advancement threshold as the main use at common. This card is currently being tested in this version in the duel deck. I'll have playtest feedback soon.

2/3 -> 3/2

Any playtest notes on this? I'm curious to see how this one played in particular

hmmm I thought I did post feedback.... Playtest notes: That you can never curve out with this makes it clunky but a Murk Strider that you have to wait for rather than build around is still a solid card.

Changing it to a 3/2 rather than a 2/3 greatly improved the card as it can still trade reasonably if played on 4.

The reminder text for advancement may need to say colorless mana even though that is technically incorrect rules wise as its more grokkable for new players.
