Not a common. Maybe even a rare.
You probably don't want this at the same mana cost and stats as Junkyard Dog
You're correct as far as the body goes, however there is some interesting interplay between the body and its ability. The body says "Play me ASAP!", whereas the text says "Wait for value..." It might be interesting seeing which way it gets played more often, even if it is a little strong.
This is a little too good for a black bear and is fighting for space with Disciple Executioner.
This seems to fight with itself, or fill to many roles at once. Why not just "enchanted creature has deathtouch, if trash, P/T bonus"?
2/1s for
are not common nor are they usually this good.
Is this something you're willfully bleeding into red or is there some sort of discard theme? Because this is a black effect otherwise (and almost certainly too good with exploit, too, to be at that cost).
I agree, and if facing down Serra Spider (Sentinel Spider) in limited tought me anything it's "Don't give
big vigilance dudes at common."
Even without the first strike, this is almost certainly not common.
That makes three green vigilance creatures (with Refuse Onlooker and Refresher). THat's very high for a color that's secondary in an ability, even white only occasionally gets two common vigilance cards.
I think this might be interesting as an improved Wind Drake in the vein of Runewing, I'm also not sure if it needs to be an artifact, but either way if we wind up bumping it to a 2/2 it might need to be
if it's an artifact or 
if it's not.
This may be too wordy period. Also black doesn't return noncreature artifacts from the graveyard.
When did red start getting value bears at common?
Mind Raker says this can easily say "each opponent".
Sewn-eye was primarily a black zombie drake. Agree this sort of common fliers are improper for red. Recommending an Impetuous Sunchaser reprint.
Second ability should probably have a tap cost itself. However, Alchemist's Vial was just printed doing something very close in colorless.
An interesting option is making it obligatory: "At the beginning of combat on each opponent's turn, remove a +1/+1 counter from ~. If a counter is removed this way, target creature can't attack this turn."
But that is rather wordy.
Changed to conditional to prevent card advantage.
That's easy to solve, btw, with "discard a card. If you do..."
The current wording violates the "Red can't get Card advantage"-rule b/c, if it's your last card, you can exploit, discard nothing, then draw two.
Added PT
I know Dragons aren't "a thing" in Archester, but it feels weird have a Drake in
. Yeah it can happen, looking at you >_> Sewn-Eye Drake, but drakes don't feel 
.
Changed PT from 1/2 to 0/3
I'm not sure I like having instant speed effects like this with windup. Lots of board complexity.
Also nonhybrid cards shouldn't be artifacts.
I think vigilance mode is cool on this card.
Restricting the colorless mana to artifacts cuts off her ability to cast Steam powered instants and sorceries. Does shifting to
, 
: for 
feel necessary?
Changed cost from
to 
, No longer an artifact, Name changed from "Disappearing Steel" to "Desert Mirage"
Now only grants trample to self.
I am fine with big bears and agree this should only have trample itself.
forgot the P/T. If I had to guess it was a 3/3? or 4/2?
Rarity changed from Common to Uncommon
