It's a 2/1 for 1 that can make itself bigger to be semi-relevant later in the game.

Because it reminds older players of a card that was actually good when creatures mostly sucked.

[Shanba]

Basically? The threshold for being good at 1 mana is way lower than at 2 or 3 or w/e. You play this turn 1, turn 2 you can probably hit for 2 before your opponent can really get on the board. Even doom blade costs 2 mana. Fill your deck with enough 1 and 2 drops and you can run people over. 2 power means that it hits for a relevant amount (halves the clock compared to 1 drop) and firebreathing keeps it good if it goes longer.

The drawback is less relevant because generally your life total doesnt matter - you never end up racing them, you just end up dying if they blunt your early assault.

[PeregrineV]

I just see a lot more incentive to block/kill it, because not only do they lose a creature, it hurts them too.
Opposite of Goblin Arsonist, seems to me.

[Fate]

you already have a big incentive to block/kill it.... not dying


its draw back is only really relevant in the mirror

[chamber]

They already have a strong incentive to kill it, just so that it doesn't kill them. The drawback against a lot of decks is going to be irrelevant. You probably don't want them in the mirror though.

[Fate]

hue

[Fate]

too good to read fate ninjas I see

[chamber]

I read it, just posted anyway to prove that I don't always disagree with you.

... I don't want to talk about that deck. I faced it in the Last round and I lost to it because I was Mana Screwed. Had I not been I would have won... But he still drew with me.

[Thestatusquo]

Ajani seems legitimately good in this format. Its very very very hard to kill and just wins the game when it sticks around.

[bv310]

I was actually brainstorming something similar to that deck, but in more of a WUR Beatdown form. I really like Ajani and Boros Reckoner, so any excuse to play both of them in the same deck is way tempting.

[Fate]

damnt the encouragement

[Thestatusquo]

By ajani I mean I thought you were talking about elspeth.

Ajani blows chunks.

MASTER OF GODDAMN
FUCKIN
WAVES

WHESNA DOOMBLADE DECK GONNA STOMP SOME HOES

[Natirasha]

Master of Waves would be so much better if the tokens were 1/1s...

[Shanba]

friends!

I continue to represent mafiascum in standard pauper. Now 6-1!

[petroleumjelly]

Congrats, Shanba! Go, go, go!

[Shanba]

ty ty

depending on the other results I think I can draw in, but I think it requires the paired down x-1 to win.
