Original card.
Red's kind of a hodgpodge of ideas, with no real direction. Ah well. Mostly, I'm making sure that minor themes that do exist are supported. The dwarves seem to like to put land in the graveyard. Let's help that out, and maybe tomorrow I'll make an uncommon that keys off of it.
This isn't a drawback. But it kind of reads like one. I tried 2/1, and I know that was good enough, but I could just imagine people thinking that this card would be worse than a 2/1 with trinket text. 1/3 is kind of nice. And that extra toughness helps keep the card around so you can sacrifice a land to trade with a 2/2 and you don't have to throw away your creature too. But I didn't want the card to be a defensive rattlesnake.
So 2/2 it is. Blame power creep. I always thought card with 'drawbacks' should be overpowered, though, because otherwise they just look like a waste of cardboard.
Really? This (correctly) reads like niche upside to me, with the occasional really high upside. Plus I'm still suspicious of red bears
Me too. But if Falkenrath Reaver exists, then I have to assume that 'uncommon with common stats, plus upside' is just a little down the road.
