Let me toss out a version that didn't come up in earlier discussions:
LIFE = 1
MOVE = 5
RANGE = 1
ATTACK = 4
DEFENSE = 4
POINTS = 35

FLEDGLING COUNTERSTRIKE

If a Green Wyrmling rolls excess shields when defending against a normal attack from an adjacent attacking figure, roll one unblockable attack die against the attacking figure.

WYRMLING BONDING

FLYING
Honestly, I agree with the theoryscape argument that even a full counterstrike isn't broken in a broad sense. But cutting the counterstrike chances in half does temper things considerably.
Fixed.

I do like that version. It's similar to the d20 version but simpler and just makes the odds 50-50.
Fixed again! The easiest way to fix is REMOVE bonding. They still reverse bond with other Wrymlings, but removing bonding stops their strongest builds - with 4th and on mass with Raelin and no other Wrymlings. Another idea to go along with this is to make the Uncommon and have like 3 life and up to ~45-60 points.

Also see Green & Copper Wyrmlings - Vote & Collaborate which has completed cards for various versions and some good discussion.

Also here is a new mini available for $9 - Juvenile Dragon - Safari LtdŽ
