Funnily enough, I had the opportunity to side them in 2 match-ups > Merfolk & Reanimator.
My side was;
3 Chains, 1 LotV, 4 Firestorm, 4 Nature's Claim, 1 Ashen Rider, 1 Bearer of the Heavens, 2 Carpets.
(my meta is very hate-filled right now)

The Carpets actually weren't as bad as I thought they would be, despite their niche application.
For Reanimator, I sided in these aswell as my Chains and LotV (usually I have 3 LotV, but wanted to test out carpet), and pretty quickly I was able to get use out of it. Fortunately I got one in a *keep* hand in both game 2 and 3.
Didn't happen to get one in the merfolk matchup, but I imagine it would have been useful.

I'm still not convinced > Lotus Petal seems better here.
....but the fact that Carpet gives us the ability to actually play cards from our hand with an active RiP/Cage in play, means I can't help but keep thinking about it....

What do you fella's think about it?
Dislike immensely. What if that carpet was actually a Nature's Claim? Instead of derping around with overcosted 1/1s, you can free yourself and actually win.
