by TRicher:

For the {b/r} cycling archetype. Think it seems balanced because of the high cycling cost. Might want a different card for this slot though, one that does stuff when you cycle apart from let you cycle more.

by DJK3654:

Why would you ever cast this normally? All you get is a 1/1 you can conditionally repeat cast for three. I'm not a fan of the design generally, if feels like a combo card, not a key limited card, but I'd rather it be a 2/1 or something.

by TRicher:

making it a 2/1 seems fine. Could keep it as a 1/1 and make it return to the battlefield? That does seem to be pushing rare though. or change it to just {b} {r} ? Something along those lines

Changed to return to the battlefield instead of the hand. Power +1.

Added begining of next end step.

Corrected wording- 'if ~ is in your graveyard' was unnecessary, removed comma between the effect and the condition.

Corrected wording- left out 'from your graveyard'

by Gustostückerl:

It is a combo card, reminds me of that combination of Astral Slide and Eternal Dragon, just in one card.

Imps should fly. Devil?

added preliminary name for easier recognition; Imp => Devil

by Brainpolice:

I'm not understanding why you'd want to pay 4 mana to cycle this to no special benefit. I do get that cycling it puts it in a position to trigger the ability. It just seems a little odd at first glance why you'd want to pay 4 to cycle it. A bit of a counter intuitive card.

by TRicher:

I think I was worried that it would be too easy to get into the graveyard and get a 'free' creature if the cycling cost was low. But looking back on it now, its cycling could cost {b} {r} .

Was also thinking of giving it flying, which was why it was an Imp originally, but thought that would be pushing it a bit.

Cycling cost: {2} {b} {r} >> {b} {r}
