When you're not trading blows, the vanguard is better than the avenger by a tad, yes? I have no problem with testing the card. If your opponent was to start stabilizing vs your aggro deck with removal spells, this card is better by a lot.

Oh I'm pretty sure honden is bad. It's a very narrow sideboard card. Upgrading to a more conditional version that burns a little doesnt interest me

I, once, boarded in a lone black honden to guarantee that I would beat the deck that would beat me with counterspells specifically, but I think thats a bad gameplan.

I mean, are there any blue cards that have been underperforming? you don't have to replace a 2 with a 2

Whenever you cast the 1/2 you are taking a smooth easy ride to whiff city.
Card is bad

Why have Porcelain legionnaire, the best red 2 drop, in white?
or
Why not move them to colorless without displacing other colorless cards

Skyspawner isn't worth a blink target very much at all. getting an eldrazi scion isn't really value worth pairing with a glimmerpoint stag (to make up for glimmerpoint stag being a below-rate body that needs value) and definitely not worth something like actual momentary blink outside of specific circumstances.

But being able to skip a turn on mana while getting a relevant early-game body is pretty ridiculous.

Okay here are my proposed changes.

Eldrazi skyspawner --> spined thopter
Making artifact deck more agressive. Sky spawer is good but its not part of an archtype.

Two things
Skyspawner is part of basically every archetype, as one of the most flexible 3 drop creatures we have access to in any color. Also, spined thopter is essentially a colorless card.

I think io is right about being overly bullish on chart a course. The further I get away from the day it was spoiled the more I imagine not being able to trigger raid on the turn I need to draw the cards, and the opportunity cost of having a draw spell in hand is real

Tempest caller just seems like bad sleep to me

Disperse isn't good, tacking scry 1 on it wouldn't make it cubable. Extremely conditional scry 2 isn't much better.

Nobody is worried about the power level of a card that lets you sac your whole board all at once if all you're getting is an until eot stat buff.

But turning some token generator into fat stacks of cards has to cost a lot. Since the knave provides two different upsides, and those two upsides are reeeaallly strong, 1B is definitely undercosted. Imagine turn four, sac two guys, turn 5 have access to potentially 9 mana.

I really want to retry rite again. The new guy can play better as an aggro topper I imagine, but I always had a sneaking suspicion that Rite was better than it played out.

I really like the red 5, and the potentially indestructible 2 is interesting. It's weird but probably worth looking into

Idk, it's not like we're clamoring for a flash 5/5 for 5, and this isn't even always better than that.

Io does have it higher than most, but I like the card.

Devoted druid is completely bananas, and I find my biggest moment of shame was cutting it like 3years ago like a dummy.

Don't be like me
(In that regard)

I don't understand why they'd make a 3mana version where you just get one toughness.
