He looks like a nice little deep elf, which implies 1x1. Is it thematic? Is it to give lower Nora cost? Is it linked to help his abilities in some way? Is it to give a a bit of a burden? Seems a bit strange.
i presumed it was because he has relocate and they wanted him to be more dificult to use, but i admit its doesn't make that much sense
Maybe the Devs simply hate UD and want any remotely decent stuff (because good or OP is out of the equation) to be either not-so good, or simply shoeboxable from day 1.
