Close, but this doesn't get there for me. Ward 1 is pretty minimal, would rather have a 4th toughness. I also really wish this ventured on ETB like the Paladin. As is, I think this is a lot worse than Endurance.
I feel like I'm coming off a sugar high from Modern Horizons 2. Going to be real tough act for this set to follow.
It's a decent card, but don't see it cracking most lists
Ya I’m getting the sense that they de-powering standard for the next while due to the backlash from eldraine.
Maybe this was too far along in development cycle to feel that effect… but so far it’s feeling quite low powered.
Ward 1 just doesn't do quite enough. Like the other venture cards, it can get out of hand if you keep getting triggers, but you only get the trigger once a turn. I think if you want to play venture, you're likely to play a small group of the best ones, since they like each other so much. This is a guy who will really be teetering on the edge of being in that small group.
Decent body, kind of protects itself, and very likely to trigger going into the dungeon in green. Not great that it can only trigger once per turn.
