I know that this SCD hasn't been started due to its hefty pricetag. But I'm quickly becoming aware of how Imperial Recruiter creates an archetype in itself, much like Isochron Scepter, or Survival of the Fittest in powered cubes. When paired with Crystal Shard, Momentary Blink, Diabolic Servitude, and other blink/reanimation cards you get a pretty powerful toolbox strategy. I now take this first pick and try to push 5c.
It's interesting to note that creatures which get stronger upon coming into play all work for the Recruiter, such as Triskelion, Splatter Thug, and Wild Nacatl.
Recruiter is amazing in every format, I expect it would shine in peasant cube too. I honestly never realized it was uncommon; now I really want to get one to out in my cube.
I was fortunate enough to have my buddy "donate" it to my cube. It's as awesome as you'd expect. Fetching a Redcap or a Mulldrifter or a Trostani's Summoner.... it's very very good.
