So broken or not broken? Should it cost more or cost less?
Thanks for looking!

It would probably have to be ~0/9 and 3 mana to be a good card, and even then it's no Goyf yet.

The problem with that effect is that its counter intuitive to what you want the card to be. You want the card to be an efficient undercosted beater. But with that type of effect, if you play the card early in the game (which is ideal) its worse, because you'll likely have more cards in hand. If you play it later game, its less effective because it doesn't avoid removal. So there's really very little upside.

Yeah, I can see what you mean. So cost less and make it bigger?

You've got it backwards. In the lategame it attacks for zero, in the early game it dies easily.

So just a badly designed card. Oh well, they're not all good... Better luck for me next time :)
And thanks for the opinions!

So based on what you guys said, I made a NEW brother for Goyf, check it out!

Its pretty terrible honestly. I mean, 4 mana for, at best, a 4/1? The reason Goyf is so good is that he's so cheap. For this to be playable, it'd have to be like 2 mana, maybe 3. Even then though, I'm just not sure that kind of effect is really playable.
