Hypothetical card



Hypothetical card:

Null Beetle
0
Artifact Creature - Insect
1/1

Now, clearly the card is undercosted. Wizards will never print a free
1/1 without a drawback. It would render far too many creatures highly
obsolete, as well as breaking the color wheel. My question is: Is that
card actually any good? Would it see play?

Affinity decks, at first glance, would like it. Or would they?
Frogmite is eschewed by many builds, which is typically a 2/2 for
free.

Weenie decks like having creatures with power greater than casting
cost, but is a 1/1 worth it? It's not like Cloud of Faeries (which is
sorta like a free 1/1)sees play, other than as a combo piece. Being
able to drop two 1/1 dudes on turn one isn't a great deal of tempo,
and it's a really weak play later than turn 3.

Fruity Pebbles (Enduring Renewal/Shield Sphere/Goblin Bombardment
combo) could use it in place of Sphere, I suppose, but Sphere is the
better card for giving the deck time to set up the combo kill.

There would certainly be some casual decks using it, as it's a new
concept. No unconditionally free creatures with power greater than 0
have ever been printed. Can anyone think of a competitive deck that
would really make slots for this? Or is it a card that is
fundamentally broken, yet unplayable?
