Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

There's probably some potential for deathtouch plus pingers in the right cube. Doesn't have to happen all the time, but those equipment are all fine and so are quite a few pingers. I thought about it because I have Cunning Sparkmage, but it felt stupid to have a dude wearing a collar able to kill Kozilek.

Could be as simple as some of Vorpal Sword, Collar, SFM, Cloud, Cunning Sparkmage, Grim Lavamancer, Spikeshot Elder, Ballista off the top of my head. Nothing wrong with any of those.

This card is like... aggressively ok. It reads well, but in practice the type of deck that would want a card with this set of synergies at this cost would prefer a card which is better at pushing damage like Dragons Rage Channeler.

But in an environment where DRC would be too powerful for a 1-drop, the less aggressive version could work out just fine, right?

Vindictive Flamestoker has been basically been the following every time I've tried playing with it:

Vindictive Flamestoker -
Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, put an oil counter on Vindictive Flamestoker.
It's A Trap! - When Vindictive Flamestoker has three or more oil counters on it, an opponent hits it with a removal spell at their nearest convenience.
