3 comments:
These are the cards I think we need to discuss:
Aven Riftwatcher: It's clearly a control card, but do control decks need it?
Eight and a Half Tails: Heavy color commitment and very very mana intensive, yet also very fragile.
Longbow Archer: WW 2/2s are very common in the cube, and I just feel like this is the weakest. Maybe we can replace it with a white weenie at a different cost?
Oust: Not sure if this is good enough when Swords, Path, and Condemn are all options.
Parallax Wave: Do people even WANT to abuse this? I would feel like a colossal dick for abusing it.
Chronazoa: So slow. For four mana, I get an ok body that doesn't do anything at all for 4 turns, when I get two of them. My control deck has better finishers, my tempo deck doesn't want to wait.
Frost Breath: Not sure. I like it? But for a blue spell, is it good enough?
Quicksilver Geyser: Expensive. Again, I like it, but is it good enough for a blue spell?
Vedalken Anatomist: Too slow and mana intensive.
Entomb: I know Tom likes re animator, but let's just acknowledge that this card isn't much better than a looting function in that deck and completely unplayable anywhere else.
Forked Bolt: This seems fine, it just felt like the weakest burn to me.
Hearth Kami: How many mediocre cards are going to get in on the pretext of being artifact hate when there is already so much artifact hate in green and red?
Immolating Souleater: Baddy bad bad McBadderton of Baddingdale.
Reckless Charge: I haven't seen this card be good, but I haven't seen this card outside of anyone's board.
Word of Seizing: I like the idea, but it is very expensive.
Thundering Tanadon: Non-green decks aren't going to pay 4 life for a 4 mana 5/4, and green decks don't need the help accelerating.
Ancient Grudge: So much artifact hate. This or Tin Street Hooligan need to go. There are 7 R/G cards, and 2 of them are ONLY good against artifacts (a 2/1 for 2 is not impressive). On top of that, we have sex monkeys, Viridian Shaman, Oxidda Scrapmelter, Viashino Heretic, Hearth Kami, Brutalizer Exarch, Indrik Stomphowler, Krosan Grip, Mold Shambler, Sylvok Replica, and Wickerbough Elder. If I have green and red in my deck, I probably have a million options for artifact hate already; why are we taking up gold slots that could be used for ridiculous cards like Burning Tree Shaman and Branching Bolt on even more?
So, I found 5 white cards I wanted to cut, and there are 5 from INN I want to consider adding:
Cloistered Youth: 3/3 for 1C, W/X aggro would love this guy.
Fiend Hunter: Not sure if this guy's really good enough, but I think he merits consideration.
Geist-Honored Monk
Mentor of the Meek
Mikaeus the Luminarch
Blue: Snapcaster and Mindshrieker. Both are pretty obvious includes to me. I also want Forbidden Alchemy, but if it goes in as a U/B card, it may not be good enough.
Black: Black gets some pretty clear removal includes in Victim of Night and Sever the Bloodline, and a few bombs that we need to talk about in Bloodgift Demon, Liliana of the Veil, and Bloodline Keeper. I think Moan of the Unhallowed deserves consideration, but I'm not sure we can find enough cuts. Unburial Rights should get in, even if we have to cut a B/W card for it. Is Stillmoon Cavalier necessary? Or Necromancer's Covenant?
My Red list of INN is huge, and probably won't all make it, but I like Blasphemous Act, Charmbreaker Devils, Devil's Play, Falkenrath Marauders, Heretic's Punishment, Instigator Gang, Kruin Outlaw, Reckless Waif, Stromkirk Noble. Im not convinced any of these are absolutely necessary outside of the Act, the Noble, and Devil's Play, but I'd like to find room for a few of them. If we're going to add werewolf cards, these are better than the green flips for sure.
In Green, I like Garruk, Prey Upon, and Elder of Laurels. Daybreak Ranger might find a place in G/R, but I don't think there's room for him, and Mayor of Avabruck warrants consideration, but I think the red werewolves are better than the green.
In multicolor, Olivia Voldaren and Geist of Saint Traft get in for sure. Evil Twin may be good enough, and Unburial Rights/Forbidden Alchemy want in.
Gavony Township, Kessig Wolf Run, and Moorland Haunt clearly deserve discussion, maybe Stensia Bloodhall.
I agree with a lot of what higherbrow said, but here is my take on cuts.
Longbow Archer and Blade of Sixth Pride could be cut. There are already tons of white 2 drops and these seem the weakest. I also think Felidar Sovereign is underwhelming and Oust is outmatched.
Frost Breath, Phyrexian Ingester, and Vedalken Anatomist seem the least powerful in blue. Also I'm not sure about the 3/1 fliers for 3. They are ok, but as someone who always plays blue I have never played either of these guys.
Black is pretty solid. If I had to makes cuts I would go with Grasp of Darkness and Phyrexian Scuta.
At first I was going to say cut Chaos Warp, but then I read it again and decided I love it. Put another one in. However, Hearth Kami and Knollspine Invocation could probably go.
Is Carven Caryatid still worth the spot? I love dudes that cantrip, but it usually isn't the green strategy. I also think there is a better, less fragile fatty out there than Thundering Tanadon.
The gold cards are great. Well balanced. The weakest seems like Duergar Hedge Mage. And for artifacts Viridian Claw seems weak, but first strike cannot be underestimated. Su-Chi seems out of placed but I guess giving all colors access to a 4/4 for 4 is pretty beats.
