I was considering Twiddle-de-diddle for the set, but this set will have a lot of instants and be fairly short of simple blue creatures. So let's try this. Being a common it's sorcery speed, so it's no Pestermite or Deceiver Exarch (although it does still go infinite with Splinter Twin).

It's not useful against scary attackers in the way that Frost Lynx/Stitched Mangler is. It gives you an untap of your key attacker (or your Geass to Inform) instead. Is that what I want? Maybe not; maybe this should just be a Frost Lynx.

I'd reflavour this as some form of resource theft; but sure, seems fine.

Though randomly sticking Bubastis into Code Geass works too.

Probably the most common mode in limited is to just tap a blocker and get a mana rebate. It's extremely unplayable with these stats, but that doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be buffed.

Is it worth pointing out that this can untap a land? Not that I think it's a particularly strong card, but it's probably worth mentioning that if this isn't the second turn of the game, this can effectively cost .

Maybe this should gain flash. With still being a 1/1 it's still no Pestermite, but if you can use it for tapping an attacker or untapping a blocker it's going to make itself more useful. I don't want to just throw flash onto everything, but this card does seem anaemic at the moment.
