    Changed it. Got rid of the last ability, and changed it to less-powerful and more flavorful ability - hand revealing.

    So, you're not using charge counters because?
    Is now using Dragon speech recognition software. It is very sweet.

    Not so fond of bringing real life tech into Magic, but you did a good job capturing it. Just 4 toughness seems a bit high for a flimsy drone.

    While things like guns (ignoring Goblin Sharpshooter!) and stuff usually aren't Magic's thoroughfare, I think the basic idea of a predator drone - a thing that flies around, spies on people, and shoot rockets, seems a little more plausible. In the artwork, the drone would probably look more like a clockwork creature than its real-life counterpart.

    Real life tech is fine in Magic, just don't make up new counters if it's for flavor reasons.
