Out of all of these, the only one with a lot of potential is Covetous Dragon (Who I'm starting to like in Razormane's slot a little, strangely.) Hydra is awful (I actually tried him once, I'm ashamed to admit,) Lightning Elemental doesn't have first strike to back up his lack of toughness, and Skizzik doesn't seem much better.Originally Posted by Illissius
Lavaborn Muse's biggest problem is that there's a complete lack of synergy between rack-like abilities and abilities that discourage/prevent opponents from playing spells, such as Chalice of the Void, Trinisphere, and Blood Moon. Ultimately, if you're succeeding with any of those plans, Lavaborn is merely a 3/3 for, which could be a lot better.
Covetous Dragon requires you run a playset of Great Furnace or his drawback is too strong. The bright side of this is that even the Moon effects will make Great Furnace an Artifact Land - Mountain, meaning it more or less fits perfectly in the deck. The downside is the fact that you die even more horribly to Pernicious Deed, so Pithing Needle becomes more vital than ever in the board (Beyond that, Blood Moon is your best way to combat Deed.)
