Towards the end of the dailies i saw the newt picking up alot of steam in SB for the aggro match up. Its the only black card that can come into play turn one and trade for a cackler. The cure is much better later but I keep finding it to still be too slow against one drops and burning tree draws. Thoughts?
Newt is great against the mono red version that runs 17 mountains and only cmc 1~2 creatures. If you expect to play against this deck (which is not THAT common outside MTGO) his pretty useful.
Otherwise I would stick with Pharika's Cure because it deals with zealots.
I find the Pharika's Cure provides a lot of advantage aganist aggro because the 2 life you receive. It's quite good early aganist something like Mono-Red or Mono-Blue and can be used later aganist Mono-Red.
