    I think weenie decks could make room for it. First turn plains, Savannah
Lions, Null Beetle is a decent start to the day. Yeah it's weak in the late
game, but so is every weenie, the point is for there to not *be* a late
game. But other than weenie decks, I doubt it would see play. Seeing as
Alpha Myr is generally considered fair, and so is Metallic Sliver, I don't
think it'll be made anyway. Perhaps they could do a 1/0 for 0 so that you
need some continous pumping effect around before you can play it? But then
it's no good in the early game. Hmm. That would turn it into more of an
Enduring Renewal / Pandemonium combo then. So they'd probably make it 1/1
with a drawback, like making it a 1/1 Clockwork Beetle. Or more likely,
they'd never print it at all.
