Didn't Wizards just get finished taking stuff like this away from Blue? Adding the word "Psionic" to the card name does not a blue card make. This turns any creature you control into Goblin Sharpshooter with an activation cost. It needs to be red.

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 wasn't aware of the color wheel shifting against Prodigal Sorcerer.  Changes made.

Okay. I have no more objections. The ability is strong, but having an activation cost makes sure it's not too powerful, unlike Goblin Sharpshooter, which will mow down a weenie horde of any size, for free. The casting cost is aggressive, but not inappropriate, although I think {1}{R}{R} would also work, if there are any concerns about the power level of this card. Having an activation cost of {R}, however, makes it virtually unsplashable, anyhow. Being playable as an instant is interesting, but as far as the surprise factor goes, it's not likely to yield more than 1 or 2 damage on the turn it's played - at a cost of 5 mana that turn, 2 damage is nothing to write home about.

Looks fine to me, but is there any reason to have the playable-as-instant ability there? It obviously makes it better - it makes any card better, just like adding "draw a card" - but I don't see any real reason to add it. Stuff like Cho-Manno's Blessing and Alexi's Cloak more than double their strength by being instant-playable, but this really doesn't make any difference. I say just cut off that line (with a possible corresponding reduction in cc) and it'll be perfect.

Yeah, this makes more sense as sorcery-speed anyway.

Can we drop it to 1 {R} now, or is that too low?

It costs mana to activate, which should outweigh the potential for multiple activations. I think the lower cost should be fine.

Yeah, it's also in the proper direct-damage color now, too. I think it's fine.
