Levitation and Crimson Kobold. Oh. I guess I'm going to have to find a way to get more Kobolds in this set. This does look like a logical extension of that mechanic, and in some ways it could be better than an Ornithopter but... well... freakin' Kobolds.
As Kobolds continues to get better, I'm finding I have to bring this creature under control by giving it a casting cost. I don't want all the Kobold decks to feel the same, and free Levitation for any color would end up doing that in the end. Besides, I like the idea of Kobolds sneaking into any color. A White and a blue Kobold that help create different Kobold archetypes is starting to look good.
Yay. The New Phyrexia Splicers were fun for being in different colours, even though they majored in green and white. In fact, it'd be nicer if they were in all five colours, so how do you feel about arranging for at least one Kobold in all five colours?
(BTW, "kobolds" in rules text should be capitalised, as on Winged Sliver or Master Splicer.)
I'm planning on Kobolds in all colors, strongest in Red, secondary in Green and Black. Maybe I'll even end up with a Kobold Artifact Creature. Guess I haven't seen a tribal artifact creature mashup, yet, or I probably would have immediately attacked it.
After all, you could have technically played Legends Kobolds with any color... or no colors of mana whatsoever. I'm sure someone out there must have been putting their Kobolds in their White/Blue Decks, if only to laugh at how bad they were.
I remember putting one into a white deck in a tourney-ish event where players had to declare their decks colours up front so people could sideboard against them in the first round, for the obvious purpose.
Hee. About 10 years ago, I enjoyed a green/white deck with 24 0-mana creatures (Ornithopter, Phyrexian Walker, Shield Sphere and 12 Kobolds), Recycle, March of Souls and Coat of Arms. Dump about 12 free creatures, turn them (and all the opponents' guys) into 1/1 flyers, turn them all into 22/22 flyers, swing FTW. Crazy, but it did win some games.
