Oathsworn is actually better than it ever was now, with the format slowing down. We really need early plays, or anybody just curving out will roll us. So I vote Oathsworn, since sometimes it can actually block, kill, and not die. Helix is nice, but I don't want to splash for it.

I cannot condone a P3 Oathsworn. Temple of Enlightenment, and not for the splash.
How is a 1/1 an "early play that can block or attack without dying"???

There are a million green & white bears/pikers in this set. We will draft some of them.

I've always liked Oathsworn more than most, it seems. My vote goes there.

By playing Mortal's Resolve on it? Bestowing an Alseid or a Dryad turns it into a fast clock.

The main strike against Oathsworn is that it does nothing on turn three. Well, that's become less of a problem now. I believe it's better than the only other option, the white three-drop hero. That one needs more help not to die.

Not taking one of those two just doesn't work. You need your two and three drops first, monsters are dime a dozen and interchangeable.

Skirmisher.

I actually like M&M, but I'm hoping for one later. I've seen it go 12th or later. Not often, but it happens.

Not willing to risk m&m wheeling for a skirmisher that dies to everything.

Skirmisher is a nice blocker, too. Centaur killer :)

M&M is a blowout. We shouldn't pass it.

Tromper is a much better card. Shieldmates wheel.

Seeing as we already have three ramp, I assume we take Mortal's Resolve here over Karametra's Favor.

Fall of the Hammer.

Resolve is fine, Fall is great.
