This seems pretty solid and might finally push Regrowth out of my cube. Regrowth might be more efficient but the deck that wants it the most is usually self-milling making the flashback on this new card very good.
I think it's worse than all of these, unfortunately.
Morbid Opportunist is potentially pretty strong and creates some nice incentives, but I would be willing to believe it washes out in testing.
I _want_ Spellrune Painter to be good, but it probably just isn't. I think what really killed it for me is that the backhalf encourages you to play multiple spells, which forces you back to the front half. Yuck.
Is Dreadhound potentially good enough? It's Syr Konrad, the Grim redundancy with a more resilient body. I feel like I can never attack with Konrad. Wouldn't be the case here.
Definitely looks amazing. I would tend to agree with your assessment here.
Agreed on Outland Liberator. Thrashing Brontodon was always a solid rate but it felt really bad to invest 4 mana into Naturalize when that's what you needed. Double green also wasn't insignificant. This guy has comparable stats for the cost and it's only upside from there.
Bereaved Survivor looks cool but I think it's a cut under playable. There's a real contention between wanting to play aggressive and wanting your things to die, especially if you're playing white. When they bolt your 2 drop in response to this you're going to feel pretty dumb for casting a 3 mana 2/1.
Rite of Oblivion looks good enough to me. We don't get a lot of repeatable removal in peasant, especially where both halves are respectably costed. Hitting nonland permanents is sweet, though I do wish it was an instant.
The problem with Dryad Revival, for me, isn't that it's not a decent card, more that it has _so much_ competition.
Bala Ged Revival
Eternal Witness
Timeless Witness
