1(Pb) (ehh you know, 1 colorless and one Black Phyrexian mana)
Artifact Creature
Flying
Lifelink
1/1
Ok ok ok so. It's not Wild Nacatl. It's not a Pithing Needle or an Aether Vial. I know this. However, this is what it is;
- a 1-drop that stupid stupid Mental Misstep does not touch
- a 1-drop with flying and lifelink that every deck can access
- head and shoulders above one-drops which aren't guys like Lackey or Nacatl and don't demand tribal to be good
- an insanely good, fast target for good equipment
I get the sense that it's sort of a dude without a deck - I mean, if you're one of those guys who was holding steadfast to Arcbound Worker for some ungodly reason, here's his replacement I suppose - but insofar as unsorted weenie guys go, he's sort of throwing down the gauntlet to challenge all 'non-Tribal' one-drops to be better than him. It probably goes without saying that even if you never equip him with anything, in two turns he pays back his Phyrexian mana cost.
The other obv statement here is that he's an artifact creature which dies to almost every removal spell under the sun, including dumbs like Krosan Grip and basically anything that would hate on a good Affinity creature.
Basically I'd like to throw out this suggestion, that if one is going to be playing some kind of random aggro/control deck and they are playing one-drops that aren't this guy, they need to have a solid reason why not, because he's sort of the best 'generic' and virtually unconditional 1/1 for 1 ever. Srsly.
