ETB version of Border Blockade.

Now that we have a thopter slot at white for common

by Inanimate:

If this no longer makes a Thopter, it could instead scry or something.

by CasualR:

...if it was just a scry it'd be pretty bad...

Is there a way we could flavor a flying wall in Kaladesh?

by Doombringer:

Chainbound Aven?

Showing the cruelty to non-humans?

by Jackal:

Can we be more descriptive about what we don't like about it with thopter? Does this just need to cost more? I guess it is mechanically similar to Fugitive Freelancer. I just like the flavor of a security checkpoint a lot more than some rogue inventor with really high toughness.

by Inanimate:

Sorry, it was late and I forgot to specify. This was creating some stalled boards, and we probably want Aerial Repairman to instead make a Thopter, as the flying deck wants two fliers for one card at common.

by Jackal:

Is it causing more of a board stall than something like (((Garuda Invoker)))? If board stalling is the problem we shouldn't be looking at flying defenders to replace this. I haven't play tested this but I don't see why people can't punch through this around turn 5.

I'm fine with the double flying card. Just remember that Triplicate Spirits had a big impact in limited. There aren't many low rarity answers that can deal with multiple flyers. (unless there are in this set)

by Doombringer:

Unlike this Garuda Invoker can attack through thopters and eventually activate its ability to smash the lategame.
