The only slightly interesting one is Skaab Goliath, but it's again one of these weird cards, that would be great as a control finisher, but requires a certain creature count or active self mill cards.
i got them from reddit.
Goliath is definitely a big monster for its cmc. but I think its biggest drawback is not the additional cost, but it dies to removal ;D
actually i thought the slith was the best of the bunch lol. sure a 1/1 fly for 3 is horrible, but white usually can protect its creatures quite well and can also deal with blockers fairly easy, so this grows reasonably quick i guess
1+2+3+4+5+6 6 attacks until it finishes the 20. so you can say its virtually a 4/X attacker.
Just feels to me like paying 3 mana to play a 1/1 that you can't do anything with for a whole turn - it just sits there and you hope it doesn't eat removal - then you attack with it, have to hope they don't have a flyer, and it has to deal damage. But I could be wrong. i didn't play Mirrodin, so I dunno how it was in draft.
I honestly wouldnt consider either over Daybreak Chimera or Answered Prayers
but growing creatures are usually very scary. Double Strike needs a pumpeffect.
No it isn't. The basement for a normal limited deck is a mix of creatures and removal. Protection effects as well as any further type of archetype specific cards are optional and have to be drafted with a specific reason in mind.

I like Exquisite Huntmaster. 4cmc 4/2 that leaves behind a 1/1 is so-so. Encore just pushes this over into playable territory.
The diamonds are obviously good, although with signets and a few odds and ends 2cmc mana rocks it gets pretty cramped.
Skaab Goliath is big, but 7cmc means it is too slow to impact.
The cascade counterspell seems interesting. Flipping over a Mana Leak is a whiff off cascade. However counter into a 3 cmc non-counterspell card could be worth it. Obviously 4 cmc cards are worth it and 1 cmc cards aren't unless they are especially good like Lightning Bolt. Forceful Denial would obviously be strong at 4 mana, but the question is 5 mana too much, or just enough.

There's no word in the goblin language for "strategy." Then again, there's no word in the goblin language for "word."
actually it doesnt matter if its a creature that grants monarch or not. i know its kinda unintuitive, but youll stay monarch when the creature gets killed.
not sure i will run this removal, its useless unless you can defend againt the other creatures opp might have.
PROs
- Its ability can be used the turn this enters (but 3+6 mana sounds imposible).
- It supports counters.
- It can put counters on itself, so it's at minimum a 4/6 flyer, so it's the strongest common flyer period.
CONs
- 6 mana is a lot.
- Doesn't have a ETB ability.

Cascade is really hard to evaluate. It's definitely a cool mechanic to see on commons, but I think they require testing to evaluate their playability.
