Adjusted again to tap only one extra creature. Waaaaay less oppressive.
Super interesting design. It might be too much of a blowout in multiples at common, but I certainly would want to find out as well.
And now that I think about what two copies of this in back to back turns can do in a tempo deck, I wonder if it wants a higher CMC.
Booyah.
The costing is/was a typo.
Legion Conquistador is a pretty recent example of the Squadron Hawk phenomena, and it’s utterly untouched in draft.
Besides this, being such a small creature without evasion, it’s possible someone swarms with it in a draft, but since the search trigger is on death rather than on ETB, it’s still slower to gather dudes than the Conquistador. If you have one of these guys in hand and no guaranteed way to see it die, it doesn’t accelerate you at all.
That said, it’s FANTASTIC with Light Brigade.
2/1 for
is already uncommon worthy but that second side with its whole Squadron Hawk vibe is just nasty. There's no way this is a common.
Interesting edit - I like it! It's even better if the target you wanna enchant is already tapped.
Hmm. It’s intended to be a late-curve (4 CMC) tempo card, but you have a point.
Perhaps “ETB, tap two target creatures”? Mild card advantage on the turn it’s played, but standard issue after that.
This looks like a poster boy for the kind of card that would get red flagged for card advantage; that is, a cantrip removal.
Amass enough copies of this in limited and you are getting ahead of your opponent quite fast and very consistently.
