Do you see this ever being cast for its non-reflex cost? The cost difference is just
so it seems exceedingly unlikely to me.
I can see it being used occasionally as a spell to go into a blue or red Sequence spell, or as a way to quickly reduce Vermillion Sunbird's cost, but yeah, this is one of the less meaningful Reflex/non-reflex choices.
I might bump the reflex cost up to
and add a "gains indestructible" rider - It'll affect the power level of the sorcery speed version significantly, but I feel like most of the time the change will be "Your creature probably won't be blocked if able" instead of "Your creature now trades with the giant wall" Whether that's acceptable at 1 mana is debatable.
No more deathtouch. Now has lifelink.
Now grants lifelink -and- deathtouch. Given the fact that it's at sorcery speed, I think one mana is still fine.
