ART: IDEA: Aeisyn NOTES: - When you play this spell, you have the option to target a creature or a player. If you target a creature, it deals 4 spell damage to that creature. If you target a player, it summons a 4|1 flame under his control. You may target the opponent. - If a player has no creature slot available, he is not a valid target. - A return time played on a Flame will return it to its owner's deck as a creature. - The spell can't be reflected ‒ that would be a problem if you had a reflective shield equipped. Flame: Spoiler for Hidden:       Living Flame is a spell that can be used either as CC or as a creature, depending on the situation. It's pricey for what it does ‒ 3/2 quanta for 4 damage or a 4|1 is easily outclassed by cheaper/stronger CC (Lightning, Shockwave, etc.) and sturdier creatures (Cockatrice, Minor Phoenix), but the tradeoff is greater flexibility in one card. In a pinch, it can be used on the opponent to provide an emergency Aflatoxin/Antimatter target. SERIES:

Interesting... I will start by mimicing the popular sentiment: fire doesn't really need much more direct CC...
That being said, I do like the 2 in 1 versatility here, yet the effect stays fairly simple and straight forward, so I support this card in spite of that fact.
