As long as the discard for Moses works while it's in play, and not just in battle (like Legion), I like it. Otherwise it would be an instant and CBN successful 1-card combo block with Hormah for no additional cost (as you could put Moses in your own deck just to make use of it).

Um, well it's not "while in play" and it is in battle, but I fail to see how instantly losing a battle is beneficial.

I actually like that ability more than I like immunity.

You didn't read my entire post, then. I gave a specific example of what could be (imho) an OP combo with his ability as is.

While Hormah is a great card, this card is no different then blocking with a 1/1 ec and dying instantly.

Btw: Absolutely love it.
