But if you tutor for it, you thin your deck and can't draw it! :downs:

You could use the second ability in limited! Never know when you'll be needing that extra 1 damage for 3 mana.

Is there any potential for that in modern/legacy as a sideboard card? Seems like a vial deck would just love to respond to reanimation/persist triggers by vialing in this dude.

Compleat silence, please
I know BW Warriors is a limited archetype, but has anyone encountered it in Standard yet? Seems like there could be something there:

Mardu Woe-Reaper
Mardu Hateblade
Mardu Hordechief
Bloodsoaked Champion
Chief of the Edge
Chief of the Scale
Seeker of the Way
Paragon of Open Graves
Sightless Brawler
Zurgo Helmsmasher

I really like Woe-Reaper's ability and card art.

Hates on Delve while also being a good body for a 1 drop.

There are good red warriors and mardu charm makes warriors, and butcher is a thing while Zurgo kinda isn't.

Tormented Hero is a warrior, as well. You have 12 one drops and then you can probably splash in a couple red cards. edit: just noticed shadow spear is a warrior too, and dash allows you to chain eat graveyards to boot

Here's a weird creature that finds very specific artifacts as well as generates mana for artifacts:

I got a playset of Chief Engineer hoping I could get something going with it before it rotated out. Hopefully there will be some useful artifacts to spend this 2 mana on.

I could see Abzan Warriors, honestly. You still get the Chief lords (and all the sweet white/black 1-drops), but you also get Sunblade Elf, Heir of the Wilds, Swordwise Centaur, and (more importantly) the insane utility of Abzan Charm.

I don't think the mana in standard currently will allow you to go 1 drop into turn 2 swordwise centaur. Even just having heir and chief in the same deck is going to be an issue because most mana fixing currently ETBT.

Well. I was thinking less Swordwise Centaur and more the fact that you get Sunblade Elf which is a great mana sink finisher.
Windswept Heath, Caves of Koilos, Llanowar Wastes, Mana Confluence, and Sandstepped Citadel make the crux of a reasonable (albeit painful) manabase in my opinion. Only four tapped lands.

Yeah if you've got at least 3 Caves, at least 3 Wastes, and at least 2 Confluence you can roll out well enough.

I guess a Whip could help with the life situation. I kinda like Rush of Battle myself. +2/+1 and Lifelink. Feed all your life into your lands and Raider's Spoils to draw cards then get it all back in a big swing.

Yeah. Maurauder is straight up the best target for the card, even with the reduced utility of Intimidate now that the entire meta is made up of multicolored decks.

Seems good enough that it gets past Courser and Caryatid.

I really hope the mana works for Mardu Warriors, they seem to want B or W t1, BW
T2 and 2R T3.
