Most cards I don't know have art like that.
The style makes me think it's unplayable jank with flanking phasing and shadow, all while being written in broken English
so I just sorta pass on memorizing them
We used to run lantern spirit way back here and there. Thalakos Scout is sorta an inevitable clock, which is an interesting idea but I assume it's too slow.
I think that the "suicide aggro" archetype in general doesn't exist anymore. Black doesn't need to rely on heavy downside cards to attack anymore, aside from maybe reckless spite (and fire covenant, if it isn't banned).
Regardless, these lifeloss cards have antisynergy with one another.
Has Wanted Scoundrels worked out for those who tried it?
Tooth collector wasn't in my cube over nekretaal over this issue. Nekretaal is missing from my cube for several reasons.
Tooth collector isnt in my list anymore either.
And again, I really have to drive this point home: I don't care how good nekretaal is. You keep saying things like "when it isn't perfect, it's still better than fleshbag marauder" but I don't care about that. The sentence isn't "I don't like nekretaal because it's expected value isn't consistent". The sentence is "I don't like nekretaal because it's expected value isn't consistent due to factors that I don't think should matter".
This next example is extremely hyperbolic (me? Hyberbole?), but it's like if the card got better or worse depending on the color of my opponents shirt. That's how I see it.
And yes, ultimate price and go for the throat have somewhat similar issues (randomly not being murder) but at least they are broader in scope. Also the drop off after these 2 drop options is too large for me to be comfortable with, which is also why I play with either. But I wouldnt put it past me to one day switch to murder if enough good last gasp/fatal push/ulcerate style cards get printed.

Something like the 1U aura that enchants artifacts and turns them into 5/5s is much better.

This card might be good enough to run in an artifact deck, but may not be good enough to change your cube for.

A card like Opportunity doesn't stabilize you when you're backpredaling heavily, but if you're not about to die it sorta "finishes" the game for you.
I can see how hour of need might count as a finisher, but it requires a specific deck

Probably because I run few mana dorks or roadblocks?
