Now that’s a beater.., maybe I’m not testing Kellen after all 🥴
doesn’t do what I want simic to do, but it may be powerful enough as a support card for an uncommon sub-archetype (UG tempo). Also reasonable as a 3rd color card in a GW or GR agressive deck.
If a card is broken, I’m willing to break archetype goals for it. This is strong but not broken.
Incredibly efficient beater (elf/bird into this into attack for 8 is a pretty strong open), but I find most simic decks I and my players draft aren't beatdown.
Still, a lot of Gxx decks would love this. Will probably test....
I think the closest comparison to this in Simic is Edric since both want you to go wide. Edric has a much higher ceiling, but over time has felt more of a "win more" card that's actually pretty weak on its own. This has a much better floor since it doesn't die to Shocks / Bolts and can contest monarch / initiative much better. This is probably the best pure stat monster at 3 mana and is much better beater than Bloated Contaminator sans being multicolored. I'm currently not in the market for this, but if I were still playing Edric I'd probably swap it out for this.
Incredibly efficient beater (elf/bird into this into attack for 4 is a pretty strong open), but I find most simic decks I and my players draft aren't beatdown.

In that scenario, you can actually swing for 8, by bringing the mana dork along for the ride and making it a 4/4 as well. It's not even that far into Magical Christmasland, since you just need this guy and any dork.

Lol I knew it was 8, the point I was making (in my head) was how powerful it was to be attacking for 8 on turn 3, and my brain just typed 4. Good times.
