Icatian Skirmishers
Eep. Banding. Not just banding, but "This band has first strike"
I think just "When ~ attacks, attacking creatures gain first strike" is quite powerful enough, without brining banding into the equation, thank you.
Gosh; how did I forget that FE has some actually GOOD cards? Ok, it's 4 mana for a 1/1 which limits it to 'splash a couple in' but still.
It's really just the supporting base of midsize vanilla cards that the set truly lacks.
Chieftain en-Dal suggests this could be cheaper and bigger. A 1/1 for 4 doesn't really count as "good".
Really? I guess that I rate "All your creatures have frist strike" more highly. Let's make this a meaty sized critter then, white needs one.
"All your creatures have first strike" is very good when blocking. But when attacking, defending player gets to choose where to multi-block, and they're the one who gets to throw several creatures in the way. A 2/2 with first strike attacking into several 2/2s just trades with one of them; several 2/2s with first strike attacking into several 2/2s just trade at a one-to-one ratio.
But yes, I think this change is good.
UEOT! Kinda important, that clause (though without is a n innnnteresting card potentially)
The design idea is good, but I'd rather see this as a reasonable-sized uncommon.
Yeah, ok, downsize and downcost a bit and make uncommon. This is now another nice around; go forth and attack a lot.
