For White Commons Submissions. Not sure on the P/T.

Defender? Walls without defender confuse old players who jump back into the game...

on 07 Sep 2011 by Link:

Yeah, oops. Didn't really mean for it to be a wall. Don't know why I put that...

On a separate side note, this seems a bit too good for common. Compare to Loxodon Stalwart an uncommon from Fifth Dawn, which was admittedly a little while ago, but not that long ago...

I think I meant Vigilance to be Defender, and at some point got mixed up. Looking back, I'm not sure how I ended up with this as-is.

Trying out 4/1 for size instead of 3/3. I'll be glad to move this back to square stats if someone complains, but I do like how this gives you the impression that something is off, while still staying in the guidelines of white.

I was going to say that I don't know many creatures that do this, and it feels a bit unique. Then it occured to me that this was incredibly close to Ordruun Commando. Though, you know, different.

That comparison probably suggests that if this keeps defender, it could be one mana cheaper.

I don't know for sure how it'll play, but the new stats seem more interesting. 4/1 fireating seems to make big toughness swings relevant, whereas for 3/3 you're probably only pumping it occasionally.

I don't know if it should be defender or not, was that originally part of the cycle?

Defender isn't. I suppose, in theory, this could be any X/1 with or without defender. I wouldn't focus too much on p/t v. cc, since that's the most likely element to change due to set constraints. Though, I do find this strange when compared to the minotaur. Sure, the minotaur can attack, but this card is so much easier to use in mono. In theory, it may be a stronger card (?!)

But, yeah, I think I'd prefer we toss the Defender and use the simplest version of this X/1. My mind wants to keep the defender, but I know it's because the word is grandfathering on me, and not for any real reason.

Editing out defender, and increasing cc by 1. I find it also interesting to compare this card to Fomori Nomad.
