If blue still needs good, fresh blue creatures, then hopefully Spectral Stalker will fit the bill. Spectral Stalker  {U} Creature - Ghost Tap Spectral Stalker: Tap target creature. That creature does not untap during its next untap phase. 0/1 Its a walkin', talkin' Dehydration! I think the double blue mana cost and lack of good power or toughness warrents it being able to be used the turn it hits the field. CURRENT WORDING:Spectral Stalker UU Creature - Ghost T: Tap target creature. That creature doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step. 0/1CHANGES:-cleaned up the wording *Jebus and Ephraim*-it's a tap ability now *Jebus and Jacob Orlove*-gave it a bigger ass *GerryMander*-slimfast *GerryMander*

This requires a clause that Spectral Stalker be untapped in order to use this ability. It'd really be cleaner to just make this a  ability and give the creature haste. If you don't, then you can use this ability more than once each turn, since you can tap an untapped creature. For example, note how Tradewinder Rider works. You can use creatures with summoning sickness to power it up, but the ability specifies that they must be untapped creatures.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

I don't want to give blue a haste creature, so I will use the other suggestion.
changes made.

I don't like it. I say screw psudo-haste. Put the tap symbol on there.

ok, I will change it to a tap ability, but I'm also giving it more toughness to help it survive for a turn against red.

This is very very powerful. Master Decoy was strong, and this is significantly better; it can keep two creatures tapped down.

I could give it a  {U} activation ability. I am sure that such a mana investment every turn would make this weaker...

well, if everyone thinks this is ok, then I won't put an activation on it. I have no problem putting an activation on the ability though...

Put a U activation cost there. After all this can keep 2 creatures tapped which is a very strong ability. I'd even consider the creature going a bit spectral and getting 0/-2 when you use the ability to make it a frail ghost. I agree with Laurie Cheers that a 0/3 for UU that can keep 2 creatures tapped is too strong. (I remember when I used to power everything up, now I want to water things down - what happened?)

If you brought this back down to 0/1 again, it would be fine. It'd be good, but easy to remove.
Otherwise, you definitely need to add some activation cost to this.

24 hour clock. Maybe you could make a Diplomatic Immunity-type card, and tie it to this one with some kind of flavor or name.
