Random Generator gave me Seeker of Skybreak which is a Creature - Elf. Really? Just an Elf? Kind of weird. I tried to keep this elf a sort of a loner with no class (no pun intended). I kinda failed, since adding mana is generally considered "Druid", but I don't know many Druids that destroy lands, so I'm claiming net neutral.
Is this really Spike? Well, it's cruel, but cruel isn't neccessarily Spike. It knocks people down a peg... but other Spikes will often not care. It taps for 3 green, while still having a decent body... that's actually kind of Spike... Choosing whether or not to swing with this guy is an important decision. Timmy would prefer to just get both.
End of the day? I'm not convinced, but I think I'd put this in Spike's camp over a few other ones. I'm hitting the drawing board one more time, though.
Yeah, getting a body and a tempo advantage at the same time seems plausibly spike. My biggest worry is that most people would want to accelerate into this in green, but that doesn't actually work, since if you can play it on turn 4 or 5 it won't do much.
Except, y'know, let you cast Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre next turn.
True, it fulfills a primal titan-y role of being a body and a mana accelerant. Assuming you can accelerate mainly with mana creatures. Maybe I was too hasty, even if it only hits one or two opposing lands, that's still a very nice tempo boost, and situational tempo-boosts are very spike.
