• Could be useful in a deck focused on spellsling or a +1/ +1 counter strategy.

Flavor and Art:

• The art by Jason A. Engle is expected to be mysterious and ethereal, in line with the card's abstract abilities.
• The Creature's Cephalid Subtype and Wizard Class Fit Its Tricky, Spell-Manipulating Nature.

Overall impression:

• Obscura Interceptor is a Swiss Army Knife of a card that can fit a variety of roles, from countering spells to providing life gain and card selection. It sacrifices a lot of utility packed into one card and would be a great asset in any deck that can meet its somewhat demanding mana requirements. The Low Toughness is a vulnerability, but its flash and lifelink make it QUITE VERSATILE.
