Made it more "UR" by making it a mandatory trigger that's weak vs. Walls. Also, it's funnier.
Not just weak against walls, but against any random 1/1...
Man, my Kobolds and Dragons deck that's shaping up in Mashup: The Gathering would hose this card...
Earlier, when both qualities were "plus one", I had this bad feeling about it becoming the best combat-creature on board at all times. That it now dies to anything with power 1 or less is a weakness I can appreciate. Plus, you can put it in a deck with Vastal Subverter for maximum fun!
Antipode Kalmia then Vastal Subverter kills the Kalmia before the triggered ability resolves :(
Otherwise, I think it sets the P/T to 2/2 (but I had to think about that for a while...)
No, I don't recommend casting the Kalmia and then immediately casting the Subverter. That would be a bad idea.
Nor casting the Subverter and then the Kalmia...
