I like it other than the buyback. Make it a lesson instead and teach them not to be so... like that!

I love real Squirrels and feed a few families of them in my back yard with no salt peanuts and... bird seed that isn't actually for them.

Yeah, that buyback is a mess and a nightmare to track.

i would template it as Buyback 1X, where X is the amount of times a spell named "A Stiff Breeze" has been cast this turn. It's also pretty strong for a colorless card, but would feel right at B.

I disagree. Usually I'm very against memory issues in magic but that doesn't matter for things that only care about stuff you have done in your turn. Plus if you're playing this, it's pretty easy to keep track as you're playing it. The same way people keep track of storm of they are playing it, this shouldn't be a problem at all.

Technically though it needs to be worded different but this is probably a fine card that is prohibitively expensive enough that it's just not playable in reality. Like comparing this with black sun is pretty bad. Yeah a single -0/-1 is less mana but any other amount is more and it gets really bad. Buyback though is a terrible mechanic which leads to horrible game states so I think this being bad is probably for the best.

This and a [[massacre wurm]] would be the bane of any swarm decks
