Yah, vigilant wind drake? Yes, please. But hard to cast. Strafe it is.

I thought this was a snap pick Elemental... but I actually think doing SOMETHING on turn 2 might be a better game. So Pegasus

I think we have enough quality removal to tide us over until turn four.

Pegasus. Radiant and early drops.

Hm, I have no idea what this deck is trying to be, and what colors we will play. But it doesn't seem too aggro. I think I's rather have the Gatecreeper Wine. Looks like we will need a lot of land in play.

Plate.

pegasus is bad. pumping Radiant isn't worth it, and it's so low impact that playing it turn 2 is pretty comparable to playing nothing turn 2. elemental seems like the master of trading down on offense, and on defense it's not that impressive either. we're not aggressive enough to value hitting for 4, then trading with a 2-drop. Vine is fixing in our splash color. that's a bad thing.

Plate, on the other hand, just sits there and plays mana sink, making every threat we play two points threat-ier. I especially like it with Zenith, where we can make each of our 2/2s a 4/4 in turn as they kill off the last one.

:duel:

We are half way through pack 2 and we have 8 dudes, IF you count:
Goblin Raiders, which is wretched
Zenith, which is techically a sorcery
and Mitotic Slime which is in a splash color.

We can't take expensive equipment here.
Pegasus may be bad, but elemental is basically a burn spell - it doesn't really help us with our creature count.

I went through pack 2 and if we are lucky we will wheel a grey ogre with upside or a squire or something. Maybe we should commit to full on naya and take the elephant?
