simple 1/1 vanilla filler

Does this set support Cat tribal? 1/1 vanillas don't need to do nothing.

Sometimes simple is good. Sure, it's not a power card. But it's a kitty. I'd be happy to get a nice artwork kitty.

I would be happier with a Sanctuary Cat or Trained Caracal... Something like Sacred Cat would be even better. Warclamp Mastiff as a Cat could make sense as well.

Not even , the 'worst' creature color, gets plain 1/1s for 1 anymore (Slither Blade).

@SecretInfiltrator @Tahazzar good points, I do agree that a 1 mana 1/1 is underwhelming. I would like it to be vanilla though changing it to a 1/2 is not a bad suggestion.

@Onygox:

I figured as much :) That's why Sanctuary Cat was the first card I linked to.

I'm also personally of the opinion that we aren't too far from having a 2/1 vanilla for at common in a standard environment. Savannah Lions at common in Masters 25 could be seen as a 'pretest' for this.

The one thing with going 1/2 or 2/1 with this card is that it begins to seem physically too powerful for a 'cub'. So maybe from that perspective, going with some keyword would be better. On the other hand, we did have Bear Cub, but I always found it strange that it's as powerful as Grizzly Bears.

Looking at the set, I would actually find this to be the perfect place to use ulterior motive instead of (((Oily Ooze))). A cat prowling just makes sense where as Ooze doing that rises questions. I have to say that ulterior motive as a keyword name sounds quite daft. Unfortunately, 'prowl' has already been used in MTG as it would otherwise be the one I would suggest :/

Prowl (not the Urza's legend one) - ... :)

You mean Morningtide, right?

Was referencing [[[Erase (Not the Urza's Legacy One)]]]

I was and am aware, and I was referencing the fact that the mechanic prowl was in Morningtide and not Urza's Legacy - expanding upon your reference. :)
