Rationale
3cmc 2/2 otter wizard with flash that grants flash to noncreature spells and pumps+untaps Birds, Frogs, Otters, and Rats on spell cast. Signature in spellslinger and tempo shells built around the four creature types. Requires both tribal density and spell-heavy construction to maximize value; untap effect enables combat tricks but is conditional on instant-speed casting.
Learnings (1)
Brawl (1v1) eval, NOT cEDH/Commander: a spellslinger/otter-typal/combo payoff — grants noncreature spells flash and untaps your Birds/Frogs/Otters/Rats on cast (enables loops). Strong in those shells; the typal buff is wasted in a fair deck.
