I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with planeswalkers, even for limited. It just "happens" that a lot of them are extremely strong, and then strong limited cards. But I can't hate on the card type for it, not as long as they keep printing cards like Drana, kalastria bloodchief or Pack rat at rare. Or even like... Ankle shanker or something that doesn't have a chance at constructed but sucks the interactivity out of a game.
I can't imagine how difficult that argument would be when you look at the commander only sets. A common is a common because it's in two or more decks? I mean... I guess I see why that's the case, but that throws a wrench into these ideologies.
I have enough self imposed restrictions, so I can't really denigrate
I run cloudskate in my peasant list. It deals 1 more damage than keldon maurauder, gives you two more turn to find a way to rebuy it. It's been excellent in my blue aggro decks and is one of ninja of the deep hours' best friends. It also deals its damage through pingers, unlike the 2/1 flier versions.
I have no idea how hard it is to support blue aggro here, but vaporkin, welkin tern, cloudskate, ninja of the deep hours, frost lynx, rushing river, and snap have proven to be a good base for me in peasant. Stealer of secrets may also be ok as it rebuys your card disadvantage from the bounce spells, but I have no idea how it plays for you guys here.
Isn't that not entirely fair? Because he would purposely be downgrading his 3 drop slot (by some unstated amount) in order to have a play better than a three drop at 5 mana, or in rare instances 7 mana.
It almost seems like you're just getting flat power level sealed pools then. with no colors that are obviously worse than the rest and a few chance bombs that happened to fall into your lap.
Draft Report time! Last night I had one of the best Jund decks I've ever drafted. It was a "****" draft, where your opponents draft for one another so we can test the weaker, less used cards more often.
Why doesn't everyone make garbage 5c pools in this draft-type?
I don't get the point with the two "redirect damage" creatures. I read them as a bad version of Prized Unicorn, that MAYBE i would cube if was common. How do you play them?
Prized unicorn doesn't do anything if they swing with their guys.
And saying anyone "shuns" Frostling is a gross exaggeration.
This is not true. I've had the conversation before with the powered cube people and the reaction was overwhelmingly negative by a few and a lot of backpedaling about mogg fanatic's goodness by some of the rest.
The comparison I suggested, when this theme came up the last time, was Seal of Fire
I've been advocating this for years.
I never understood how the little things mogg fanatic did added up to more than being able to kill a much, much larger pool of guys.
And I still don't understand how some people (who think mogg fanatic is actually good instead of interesting) will shun frostling, as was stated earlier.

Things only ever target in magic if it literally says "target" and it means target in reference to the thing you're talking about.
