That just seems bad. If you want a butt there are way better cards, and if you want a blink there are way better cards.
That's not the kind of card I would want in this type of cube.
I think I would have murderous cut instead.
The problem is cubes need to be intuitive. When people read the nonartifact text on Whipflare they think it's relevant.
It still seems really weak. There has to be better trample enablers around.
If you had aura synergy I can see it being good enough.
A 3/4 that requires you to play two colors, and cries against graveyard hate is pretty terrible though.
Gelectrode, Frostburn Weird, Izzet Guildmage, all seem better, though Izzet don't have that many cards that would be good in this format.
If you're going to reward people for playing mono you shouldn't be doing it in just one color though.
The archetypes should all have roughly the same level of specificity. Equipment is for instance much harder to do than aggro. Some of the more specific ones also don't have sufficient support.
