Icy strikes me as SUPER unplayable if these guys don't get it done. Towards the other end of the power spectrum, I have had serious problems balancing
Glare of Subdual and my Opposition to
Opposition is well-known. i imagine my struggles with power-level are shared by Wizards, too, as they're incapable of making a tapper that's not a premium draft common (
Avacynian Priest,
Minister of Impediments) or a giant piece of shit (
Loxodon Mystic,
Ephara's Warden). i will throw out some ideas
some lists have
azorius guildmage, but, it is bad imo
Minister of Impediments is from the same set and likely not good enough (though its activation cost of 0 makes it preferable to Harrier variants, IMO)
Ballynock Trapper is in a similar vein and is from the best set ever
flood and its successor
cephalid retainer have been suggested
anyone ever try
deathbringer liege? card is sweet #teameventide
dispatch (just typing this one out to remind myself Metalcraft portended Devotion)
Hands of binding (nobody ever tried this, did they? it's just bad, right?)
fire / ice (kinda free-associating at this point due to imprecise magiccards.info search)
leonin bola was an excellent common in that ugly if underrated draft format,
MD5
master of arms lol wtf is this design
mind over matter along with
invoke prejudice turns on the sea god by itself
nomad decoy is a sweet card and i always wanted it to work
ral zarek is one of my faves
rishadan port might force me to rename the funsies land draft
scepter of dominance should be tried
somnophore was purchased with a CML allowance once ca. 1999
tamiyo, the moon sage and
ajani vengeant tap stuff, sorta
tidebinder mage is probably not worth it due to UU cost / not fitting anywhere / sucking when it doesn't hose
tumble magnet was a constructed house for a little while, but this was mainly because everyone had an offense consisting of attacking with one guy at a time
looks like we're SOL but if i had to guess i'd say
tumble magnet is the most encouraging of the shit here i unearthed
