Prejourney
[card]titan's strength[/card]/rubblebelt maaka - close enough to the same thing. Titan for anything where I use a heroic creature, maaka when not.
satyr hoplite - another 1 drop would be nice, though maybe only as a two of, probably 4 in block constructed
[card]eidolon
of the great revel[/card] - obviously it has nice sideboard potential, but I am actually considering maindecking it, it's 2 devotion for fanatic, and it delivers a massive punishment. The friendly fire is a concern and I doubt that I can support it and firedrinker without eating myself alive
harness by force - I've overloaded enough mizzium mortars in the current configuration to realize that snagging two dudes is well withing the realm of possibility. Breaks RG mosters back sometimes. Threaten proper has been in and out of the sideboard, and this could probably sit more comfortably in a sideboard slot than threaten.
blinding flare - only if going in a heroic direction without arena athlete. Clears blockers and activates whatever needs it at the same time, kinda like glare of the sun god does in monowhite.
magma spray/shock - pillar of flame and lightning bolt they are
certainly not, however I have been hesitant to use shock all season, but I may have knuckle down and at least put spray in the board, especially if I start seeing a lot of x/2s with death triggers (you know who I'm talking about)
rouse the mob - an excellent source of trample as part of a balanced breakfast. The strive is a little high, but the ability to push damage through is not to be underestimated. Obvious applications if I move in a heroic direction.
archetype of aggression - almost made the cut last time. Power equal to casting cost is nice, but trample gets over some crappy chumps. Taking trample is not to be underestimated, as it opens up chumping as an option where it wasn't before in certain matches.
[card]mogis's warhound[/card] - who's a good puppy? Huh, who's a good puppy? He does almost exactly the right things (though I think I would rather red get sightless brawler). Effectively 3 mana haste
that dodges mass removal, and the drawback could almost be considered reminder text. And I can drop him at 2 if I lack a better option turn 2. There is no way he isn't going it, it's just a matter of what gets cut for him.
prophetic flamespeaker - all the numbers seem right, but he pushes me in a more "heroic" direction, not because he has heroic, but the kind of cards that are good with heroic are also good with double strikers. I doubt I ever get much in the way of cards from him, because he paints a very big target on his forehead. If I connect with him my opponents are likely having some serious problems, otherwise he's drawing fire from my 1 and 2 drop. The biggest issue I see is the fact that he's a nonbo with my curent haste focus.
dragon mantle/everflame eidolon - they could be listed separately, but they both support the same style of play. If heroic/prophetic becomes an important part
of the deck they both are scary additions, leaning toward the mantle, but keeping a firebreather on the table post verdict seems pretty good.
magma jet - got cut for searing blood, and I don't regret it, but with a significant alteration it behooves me to reconsider it.
sigiled skink - not a serious consideration, though with a flamespeaker adept/knowledge and power deck it offers an interesting option.
akroan crusader - could be an interesting alternative to hoplite, both add a power to the board when targeted, the difference is whether or not I want that power spread out or concentrated. A warhound pushes hoplite out of bile blight range, but not crusader. On the flip side crusader is more likely to force a verdict or similar.
Akroan Conscriptor - if I go in a heroic friendly direction this could be a surprising option out of the sideboard against monogreen devotion and RG
monsters. Turning pumps into threatens is nice, but without a sac outlet it is a tad awkward (though I suppose it lets me steal it again later. Madcap the conscriptor and snag polukranos or arbor colossus and their is a world of hurt comming. Probably not as exciting or as good as harness by force, but I smell some potential, though this would force me into a slower variant, and I am not sure how willing I am to slowdown, but if I find another compelling reason to do so I have this guy in mind. He's done such fantastic work in limited (which is usually not the best indicator).
