tgijsola posted:So I just started playing modern, is this worth trying in Affinity? You get some extra value from arcbound ravager, a little protection against board wipes, more evasive cranial plating targets, and you can cast it for 0 if you have master of etherium out. This seems way too expensive to play in affinity, since you basically want to throw down as many things as possible in as few turns as possible.

Probably not. Affinity doesn't make a ton of mana and what are you cutting to replace with this?

Steel Overseer is a card that would help the Walker, since the +1/+1 counter matters. The "what to cut" question is pretty big though. Maybe 1 Pest and 1 Vault Skirge for two of these?

Cranial Extraction that only hits creatures for 1 less is still a bad card I think?

See that's what green should be, not these recurring raptors or lightning helix rhinos gently caress midrange, green should be all giant loving creatures that make ramp awesome and fun
