Geist of the Moors - 1WW
Creature - Spirit
Flying
3/1
This a very aggressive evasive 3-drop. The double-white in the cost and the 1 toughness are not the greatest thing in the world, but it hits hard and it looks exactly what my white-based aggressive decks want to be doing. Any thoughts about this? Anything I'm missing?
I just cut Flickerwisp from my 360. It was a tough cut. If I ever went up to 450, I will likely re-include him, but wouldn't run this until at the very least 540+ and even then probably not until 720+ if I'm completely honest. He may be good enough at 720 though.
Yeah, while this guy is going to be fantastic in normal limited, just not enough going for it to make it in normal, small cubes. The color intensive cost and super fragile body just kills it, along with how many other amazing 3-drops white has.
The theme on this card is awesome although I find it really odd since I'm pretty sure its an homage to the Lone Ranger (the Good Geist's Vow pretty much clinches it)
Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5
