I remember when you were printed. I thought that Wizards broke Magic. A one mana 2/2 without a real downside made no sense to me whatsoever. Your results agree: 7 constructed Pro Tour top 8’s prove that. You have changed the way we view white weenies, you became THE white weenie.
Oh times have changed. Last year Wolf Cove Villager was printed at common. The card doesn’t see any play and never will. A vanilla one drop doesn’t cut it any more. With the complexity creep these days one drops must have a whole lot of abilities slapped on to them, just look at Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer. I miss those times where you, Isamaru, would growl fear into your opponents hearts.
Jackal Pup was your predecessor. Because of how good Jackel Pup was at his prime, we couldn’t believe you when you were printed. Jackel Pup still has a place in Magic, because of Pre-Modern. But you are just a tad too new for that popular format and just not powerful enough in other formats to still have a place in Magic.
But I still get to enjoy you. Because I build cubes. And in a Cube I get to decide what the one drop of choice is. I get to decide who gets to growl fear into opponents hearts. I get to decide which weenie is THE white weenie. And I, I chose you.
With love,
Hanjo
