Thragtusk in particular is a pretty funny example to use as a tempo card because iirc he was printed specifically to combat Delver tempo decks and their Vapor Snags. And I quite enjoy these theory discussions, although this might have taken over the thread a bit, I think it's interesting to...

I guess what I'm getting at is that a card being able to gain you tempo does not make it a "tempo card", being a card that would fit into a "tempo deck".

When you get to play Grave Titan you can call it riding the gravy train, and that puts it into playable for me.

I think the difference between that an a vanilla 2/1 for 1W is incredibly small. Edit: I think this will play out being pretty much Imposing Sovereign

Plow Under -> Oblivion Sower?!?!

I just noticed this is a mythic. When I first saw it spoiled I thought it was an uncommon or something.

I forgot how freaky Sphinx of Lost Truths face is.

You can also use fetches to shuffle them back into your deck.

I don't live actually in London proper, so I haven't had the pleasure

You wouldn't have to do that if you just played lands in front.
