Dies to Removal

meh, the mortars argument is fine, but without snapcaster to recurse all removal it I don't know how valid that stance is.

I mean, Archangel of Thrune is getting people excited and she dies to mortars too. And you DO have to drop through hoops to get her to have an effect when she comes down (have lifegain on the board, etc, will be harder post-blood artist I'd imagine).

You can jump through hoops to give this Hydra haste and have an immediate effect when he comes down too, but even without that its still effectively 1-turn clock to deal with. (If you let it swing once, you're losing, if its swings twice that's probably gg I think we can agree on that).

when thraggy rotates what other cards are so good that competes with this?

Iunnoa fter testing with it today Ive been converted...

Savageborn hydra was at like $10-15 when it first started.

I guess al the casuals gotta scoop these cards up ASAP then it settles down to dirt
