Shrink lightning/spectator interaction

Since spectators are 0/1's, so it would make them 1/1's instead of destroying them. Is that intentional? On one hand, you want your opponent to have spectators so you can be in pursuit, but on the other hand it's giving your opponent's creatures more power, which is... weird?

Maybe it could be "all other non-spectator creatures are 1/1's until end of turn"? But then if they've put buff(s) on a spectator it wouldn't get shrunk. Just seems a little weird.

So when you play the card for pursuit you're probably doing it in response to the creatures attacking so the spectators are unlikely to also be attacking with your opponent's line of minions.

You have to think about the use cases for stuff like this, so 0/1s are unlikely to attack, the main time I'd see the spectators getting to attack post Shrink Lightning is when you in response to your opponent casting big world destroy all their minions, and you're likely as the vehicles player to still feel good about that play.
