Maybe if he had 1 loyalty he would be not as broken? Also, I was completely spitballing, squee was probably the first goblin I can think of which wizards would probably use as a planeswalker, him or Krenko, probably. I personally want a lot more tribal based planeswalkers, since dragons (Sarkhan Vol BR version?) and Elves (Nissa) got one, why not others? It would be interesting to see something like a Shapeshifter Planeswalker with the ability to give creatures all types until EOT and the ability to pump up named creatures types, also.

It seems mote likely he could be similar to your layout at 1RR. that is a more traditional cmc for a goblin lord and less busted but still fun

Weren't the 'power level reasons' in the case of LotV for M15 pretty much "black devotion exists and already has Thoughtseize et al?"

Basically the answer was that everyone would complain about mono-black if Liliana of the Veil was printed. Really, you'd be foolish to show up to the PT with something that wasn't Mono-Black if Liliana were an option.

If it's going to go back to even half of it's previous value before the re-print you are actually rather stupid for not buying them at $14. Reprints worth a drat are kinda new but I will eat my rubber chuck Taylors if it stays below $20 post rotation so if a slam dunk 25% is too low a profit margin on a sleeve it, forget it, sell it move maybe that's why you have trouble buying all your cardboard with your budget.

Truly a cost that justifies itself.

In terms of art choices that don't cost any, what is the proper split for Hymn to Tourach? I'm currently using all 4 art pieces from Fallen Empires, with the Scott Kirschner art removed if I'm only playing 3 in my BUG Delver list. I think this is objectively correct, but I'm curious if there are any partisans for the new art, or if there are people who think I should be running Susan Van Camp exclusively (with an accompanying wolf shirt).

So a little bit of a design thought experiment after listening to a lot of the push back from LR and LSV on ornithopter. A 0/1 flyer for 0 mana is generally not a good since it costs you a card - so what IS a card worth? Or in other words, what's the weakest 0 CMC creature that would be playable to good?

Considering a vanilla 1/1 for 1 mana is also generally seen as bad, the obvious answer seems to be a 1/1 for 0, but I'm curious what other people think.

We've had that card. It's called memnite. It also wasn't a high pick, although it was sometimes played in a metalcraft deck.

IMO, The absolute best vanilla/keywords only creature card you could print for 0 mana is a 1/2, or a 1/1 with some kind of evasion.

I'm an "all four or wolfshirts only" guy myself. Personally I'd cut the Liz Danforth art before the Kirschner art, but really they're all either pretty good or look like a wolfshirt.

It wouldn't be the weirdest name-based search, but there's only 28 cards that have goblin in their name without being goblins, so it just seems needlessly complicated.

a 1/1 for 0 is good. The argument against ornithopter is that it does absolutely nothing by itself. It gets put out there and needs help. The most Ornithopter usually does is just chump block and doesn't even trade. Ornithopter will do 0 damage by itself in a game where the goal is to out-damage your opponent. A 1/1 does damage, at the very least.

If you had a 0-cost 1/1, on turn one you could potentially have 2 bodies that are actually going to do damage. That's a big deal in limited and something that appeals to me as an aggressive player.

I agree. I've won so many games in online drafts where my opponent was running multiple Ornithopter hoping to draw their singleton Ensoul Artifact. Inevitably they sit there doing nothing then eventually chump block out of desperation.

The only GOOD use of Ornithopter I've seen is in a deck that ran a lot of those red dudes that care about artifacts and Roaring Primadox so he could bounce the free creature every turn and never have to get behind the mana curve.

I'm glad that GW was shat on. Then again I'm torn between Jeskai being terrible because it's UWR, a color combo I hate, and want it to be good, because Djinn creatures are in it.

It's still generally not worth a card in limited, Memnite was not a good card in limited unless you were playing a metalcraft deck because it doesn't do anything once the other guy plays a stupid bear.
