Works as a blocker tooo...
It's really not pushed. It's less good than a 1/1 unblockable, and there are versions of that at 1 mana like Prickly Boggart and Tormented Soul.
@Vitenka: Sidewinder Sliver. There was a white sliver deck going around in Timespiral that played 4 of these. It was a good card. But I wouldn't call a non-sliver version of the card 'pushed'.
Well, on a 3/3 it wouldn't be; but on a 1/1 it's "Deal one extra damage, as soon as I block - before you hit me and reduce the damage I take by 1". I guess the important difference is when it isn't blocked, then it's just a plain 1/1. And it doesn't benefit from +X/+0 the way doublestrike does...
Yeah, ok. Still seems quite pushed to me, though.
Nah, this isn't really like double strike. If Mtenda Herder was okay as a one-drop back when Savannah Lions had to be rare, I'm sure a slightly-tweaked version of flanking is fine on a one-drop by modern creature power levels.
I agree with Link - this doesn't look like a "huge difference", it looks like "removed the drawback" (which is fair enough) plus "really unclear wording" (which needs fixing).
It's a more powerful variant of it; and kinda like super-firstest-strike.
Not really seeing a problem with the ability (except does it really need a keyword?)
It does make this, toughly as powerful as: 1/2 double-strike. Which is a perfectly fine card; but
is a bit cheap for it, doncha think?
By "huge difference" you mean "removed the drawback from flanking and powered it up," and also "made it unclear whether it's a triggered ability or a state-based effect by changing the wording?"
Huge difference. MaRo has talked before about fixing flanking. Just look at the difference between the two. This one is unconditional and doesn't want other decks also using repress.
(I didn't mean for this comment to sound so snippy.)
So Repress is basically just Flanking? (Mtenda Herder)
Well, swarm comes in all shapes and sizes. Check out Erralix for more of it.
