could this be a 4/2 with first strike when attacking? on the flip side?

geez this feels like a strong common, edits seem good

Seems a kinda complex change. And I'm okay with the backside being strong, I think Revolution backsides should generally be significant. Still, we can keep a close eye on this in playtesting.

what about a 4/1 base stats based on Bloodmad Vampire?

also do we have menace in red?

Yes, Munitions Thief.

I could see a 4/1 into a 6/3, but a 4/1 into a 5/2 with a keyword would be less exciting as it dies to so many things. A 5/2 with menace could be interesting.

We currently have Outlands Monitor and (((Opportunist Chieftain))) at 4 power. We should not have a 4/1 and a 4/2 at common.

Well, (((Opportunist Chieftain))) is a lot easier to shift around, since the Revolution cards are competing a lot more for space. Outlands Monitor less so, though.

This card felt slightly on the lower side of power on its front face but was intimidating later due to how hard a 3/3 first strike card is to interact with later. I feel its in a good spot.
