I'd post a foglio cardbut it would 90% look like the foglio card.

I also am reminded of those limited staples that dont often make cubes because there aren't "powered" versions of them: Epic confrontation, Cartouch of Strength, Act of Treason, Lava Axe. etc

I like the idea of weird buildarounds that now have main-deckable stats so they aren't as speculative. They do need support though. blaze commando cunning breezedancer , enduring scalelord, Savage ventmaw, ruthless deathfang , swift warkite stonebrow, krosan hero azorious aethermage...

Re: B. Discard. I've happily run creatures with incidental discard as part of other archetypes.. i.e. victimize or exploit or emerge mechanic.) As a core archetype, the payoffs seem awkward, and the deck performs differently against fast opponents and slow opponents, which I don't like. Re...

I think the main difference between Growth Cycle and Growth-Chamber Guardian is that I don't particularly imagine a draft deck being defined by running multiple growth cycles, but I can imagine a draft deck defined by running multiple growth-chamber guardians.
