Random Generator gave me Saprazzan Raider and Jade Statue. That's a bugger to cost. I don't want it to cost 6, but I fear that a cc of 5 in draft is too good. It might be better than Siege Mastodon, though I'm not sure. Funny, that ability that removes the Raider from combat will more often be a detriment, than a way to save your attacking creature.

Also, I normally pare the flavor text a little more than this, but I am not going to pass on a chance to speak for Norin, the Wary.

Yay, I do like this kind of effect. Dream Fighter is the archetypical example to me. I created my own version in Lurking Evotan. You're right that on a 3/6 it's more normally a drawback though. It's still an interesting way to dodge Wraths from either player.

If you wanted to trim the flavour text you could end the first sentence at "skittish".

Ah. Good point on the flavor text. That was me trying to keep words that belong to Saprazzan Raider. But I suppose the real message to keep here is that Norin had great odds on his side, and he ran away.

Well, not enough odds to kill the thing, if they're all 1/1s. Admittedly we know Norin the Wary is a 2/1. But, details.

Needed a 6cc common creature, and this was in the workbench.
