If the ability is the same on all cards with it, a 1-3 drop in this brave new world of token-based decks would be rather insane.I see a potentially very powerful ability on a clearly poor example for Constructed. If they cost this ability aggressively on 1-3 drops in Boros then things will be interesting.
This card seems lame.
Maybe the damage/life output is based on the CMC of the card? Or is everything ever lightning helix with this? NEED MORE INFORMATION MAN.
