For those who aren't crazy about the ability;
Who cares?
Now bear with me, I don't mean I don't care nor does anyone else lol, I just mean, Time needed a mid-range attacker like everyone has been saying right? So there you go. Its done. Now what this card does, is that it introduces a minor effect, one that could have not been a part of the card, and still would have been a nice addition. However, with this minor effect, it introduces more strategies that would have otherwise been unavailable! The skill adds no additional cost to what the card should cost. So some people can use the card purely for its attack and go the whole game without the skill being activated.
This should become more common in my opinion. Minor effects that aren't serious GAME/STRAT CHANGERS (notice all caps) like some other cards have the potential to be.
It adds some variety in game play without being overwhelmingly different.

To conclude, its what I'm calling a pseudo-nilla or semi-nilla card. It can be used alone, but has a unique effect that can open up other possibilities. And also the price hasn't been affected directly by the effect the card gives. So not quite vanilla. Just... pseudo-nilla.
