actually, I'm going to stand up for this card.


it's not powerful, it's weak, I'll grant.


but listen--

a) It's a Common.
b) Designing for Limited is in the first place a questionable thing to be doing,
c) And in the Second Place, hadn't been practiced very much at this point anyway.


This card has a mechanic that simply basically tries to push you to attack with it. I'd say it's honestly not much worse or better than Jackal Pup from a Design perspective, and from a Development perspective as a Common it's not supposed to be too good anyway, it's the Rares that sell packs and the Rares that are going to be the Bomb that wins you the game if you're looking for Bombs.

This pairs very nicely with Glory Seeker in a crude but effective White-Red Aggressive attacking deck.


If this were Uncommon or Rare, it would be more reasonable to want it to be more positive and not negative, but

d) Negative effects breed creative, awesome, brok... (see all)
