I liked the quote, but couldn't figure out who it would get attributed to. I guess Orgon is getting pegged as 'like an aristocrat', here. I'll have to change his name soon, I suppose.

I did a quick search for 1/3s in black common and found only 7. Rather rare, though I can't see why they couldn't put together a 1/3 for {1} {b} by now.

by Vitenka:

Are you allowed it at {1} {u} though? I thought that was 1/2. Remembering this is strictly easier to cast than either...

by Alex:

Blue has gotten 1/3s for {1} {u} for ages now. Even since Straw Soldiers (and let's not ask how that one's meant to have nonzero power flavour-wise).

by jmgariepy:

Lumengrid Warden is the one that jumps to my mind from Mirrodin. Was secretly really good in draft there, since it picked up equipment and tackled the opponent early...

switching some cards around to fill casting cost gaps. This one is now a 4/3 for 5... which is a bit odd for {3} {w} {u} or {3} {u} {u} to pull off. I'm going to assume that the weirdness is fine for a sacrifice of power next to Mass of Ghouls (or Water Elemental, I guess). Does it bother anyone else?

Oh, and the reason I bumped this up, is because I wanted the new (((Vedalken Replica))) to cost {2} .
