Pretty cool. The lone white mana makes it pretty splashable, though. What if we added a self-pump ability? Like WWW: +1/+0 (or would WW be better).

Triple-white costs should be reserved for something that's really, really connected to the color (as in *not* [card]Blood of the Martyr[/card], haha). WW should be fine, but then the cc of the creature should maybe go up, I'm not sure.

Then make it 2W or 1WW. I think 2 mana for +2/+0 would be too good here.

The addition of 1WW:  +2/+0 wouldn't be horribly broken, that's a pretty big price to pay even for a dork that good.

went with the WW for +1. I think this gives it some playablity. and it is still good, with equiment or other pump effects. But requiers you to have a lot of mana open to make him deadly. Like the idea. Would be really good with that new instant equip guy.

Yeah, let's go with that. A self-pumping DS creature is pretty strong.
