Pretty much.
Decent pick in Limited (we'll see how the mana works out before I give my complete judgment).
Still, it's utility, and in Limited utility is good.

This is a decent power level card. Still great for a common.
And Quasali Pridemage was too OP, no need for such sick stuff.

Its a decent sideboard card if (when?) artifact decks get big. I run green, so I might end up using it. Its not particularly splashy though. The art is a big plus.
These humans, their imaginations are strong. Kill a thousand men and they will hate you. Kill a million men and they will queue to face you. But kill a single man and they will see monsters and devils in every shadow. Kill a dozen men and they will scream and wail in the night, and they shall feel not hatred, but fear.

Will see plenty of limited play especially with the number of artifacts people will play. Probably see some constructed but mainly from the Sideboard.

Boo... this and the the Quicksilver Gargantuan were both spoiled before the magic.com article was even available (in Aus at least). Probably my fault for searching for the spoilers, but still. Try harder.
Onto the card though, I like that they are keeping the 2/2, 1/3 or 3/1 for 3 CC thing going for the replicas.
Interested to see how the other replicas get bumped up in power. I'm guessing the nim update will involve poison and -1/-1s in some way. Goblin replica as a 3/1 haste and having destroy artifact or land would be flavourful. I mean, wizard replica always had flying while the other four replicas didn't have any additional powers.

I'm really glad to see this. Viridian Zealot  is a card I'd love to have in more of my decks - maindeckable Disenchant , but it was rare. This is basically the same, but less fragile, less aggressive, and less colour-intensive. Since my decks tend towards the controlling style, I'm very happy with this. I see myself picking up 8-16 of this common. Qasali Pridemage  was just as good, but being gold distinctly hampers the decks it can go in.

It's not quite as good as pridemage , but as a predominantly standard player I'm glad to see it's sticking around. Also good to see that the CMC is staying below 4 for Sun Titan  purposes.
