But then there's the fact that we've already had access to Memoricide and Cranial Extraction. Does being uncounterable really make it that much more appealing? I feel like we're starved for sideboard slots as it is. =/
Yes, for a 4cmc card, this is the best out of the three.
Combo/Tempo
-Strategy
1) Drop Pili
2) Drop Architect
3) Paint Pili blue, Combo off with infinite mana of any color. Draw your deck to find a Banefire or make them draw their entire deck with Blue Sun's Zenith
Expanded Budget Options: More alt wincons such as Wurmcoil Engines or Emrakul or protection from Pact of Negation... can even splash another color.
against red deck, you have brindle boar that makes you gain more life at reduced cost. but thragtusk makes more that this, so maybe you can use a spot on it.
i don't see other cards interesting.
unfortunately its 5cmc and by the time you have 5 lands against Burn/ RDW you're pretty much dead. Boar comes in at 3 mana, and while not as flashy as Thragtusk, it comes in early enough to save your skin from burn and block a GG to boot.
agreed. great in infect, which now makes blockers less relevant and boosts pump spells affects by plowing through. Also makes ichorclaw myr better wuth it.
Right now, the toughest deck for me to beat is Affinity. Even after board, there is just not enough that my deck can do to stay on the offensive. I can't figure out how Boros beats even a mediocre affinity draw with a Ravager, Plating, or Etched Champion in it. Insight would be welcomed.
Boros without Steppe Lynx? Take out bad cards like Accorder Paladin and put the kitty in instead. If affinity is giving you real problems, consider stony silence.
As soon as your opponent realizes what you're doing, there's no way they're pointing removal at a vanilla 2/2; they're going for your potential combo piece.
you laugh at the opponent because Nest Invader has already left another combo peice since the token is an Eldrazi Spawn. (and extra land from path made up for the mana ramp that the token would have and can provide)
They should change the rules so that it's only possible to fetch less than 4 if your library contains less than 4.
This.
I remember first playing against this and gifts and then being totally confused as how it can resolve with only 2 cards chosen from the deck until I reread the card and saw that loophole lol.

What?

Twin for more flexibility- having counters, protection and removal mainboard at the cost of speed.
