There are Two Types of Creature on this Card Game

{Spoiler}
dangerousdice - Eglizrod: Ouch. Pretty cool lore, though does that make it a wurm? In a sense I suppose. The card itself is flavorful, and fairly simple in what it does. It is still a strong enough card, and its simple-ness makes it feel more stompy-wurmy.



pernicious - Wurmhog: Beautiful art. Power is pretty strong, and its red kicker makes the boar part make more sense. The rest is still very wurmy. Pretty neat.



moweda - Stalking Dunewurm: A wurmy Viashino Sandstalker. That’s pretty cool, though besides its reference, it isn’t much of a Viashino, and I can’t per se imagine how it would look as this mix. Mechanically it looks sound enough.



fluffydeathbringer - Riveteers Recycler: A nice combination of its abilities with blitz. I like the grave-eating into power and lifegain. I don’t necessarily see the Citizen type come into play in its abilities, but it’s kinda forgivable, because first, it’s funny, and second, it’s clearly intended as a New Capenna creature which has plenty Citizens. Flavorwise, it’s also kinda like a standard garbage man (or entire garbage truck in this case), so I guess that’s Citizen-like?



Idea - Shiftwurm: Changeling makes it an undead wurm in addition to everything else, which is against the rules… DISQUALIF- nah just kidding. Not entirely convinced by the changeling and it still having more than Shapeshifter as its creature type. It also doesn’t need changeling. Just having it be a shapeshifter already allows its abilities to make sense. The copying of trample and hexproof is kind of wurmlike, and the flying is added… because of the blue color? I generally like the idea of copying some abilities, but I find the execution lacking.

vizionarius - Sliver Flagbearer: It does Flagbearer in a very Sliver way, but I the combination makes you lose its strength of redirecting kill spells from stronger targets: if you have slivers in your deck, your stronger creature/good target for removal most likely is a sliver as well, which gets to be taken out anyways as it has gained flagbearer. It’s still fine for redirecting pump to your creatures instead of your opponents’, but the loss of protection flagbearers give makes me less enthused.


Idea - Hidden Inciter: first things first, cut down on text. Drop the flavor text. Possibly the morph reminder as well. Besides that, I quite like the Shapeshiftery flip ability. It allows you to use the Flagbearer ability in response to something already cast. Good colors to put this ability in as well. And if needed, giving +2/+0 to your stuff makes it worth it to cast it as a morph moreso, even if you don’t think you’ll be able to redirect something useful: plus flexibility.


moweda - Vessel of Dawn: A near straight upgrade to Coalition Honor Guard. But seeing as that card sees little to no play, why not? I’ve always enjoyed the dealt damage turning to life mechanic in white. And in combination with Flagbearer, that makes this card very good in the sideboard if you’re against a burn deck. Eeking above the bolt line makes it that much stronger in that aspect as well. But against straight removal, it still has its power of protecting your bombs. Though at 4, it also is pretty bomby in current environments. Maybe still good generally in draft, and maybe some standards.


ameisenmeister - Reassembling Bannerman: Flagbearer plus Reassembling Skeleton, I love it. The cost for return has also appropriately gone up, and the sorcery speed is very necessary as well. Good nerfs to the standard Reassembling Skeleton. Only thing I don’t understand… why is it a Zombie and not a Skeleton? This ability of returning via mana-costed graveyard ability is what Skeletons are known for. You even used “Reassembling”.


Flo00 - Decoy Ram: The original Juggernaut with Flagbearer mixed in, with an additional mana cost. Not that amazing, though it might cause some fun mind games, where your opponent is waiting with their kill spells due to the constant attacking ability (which they can block). Playing into that might sap away at your opponent’s mana conservation/holding up lands.


eshix - Paragon Maker: An ability next to the flagbearer that I find a bit of a miss, as you might think you could use it in response to a spell, and thus change targets of that spell. But the thing is, targets are nearly always declared as you cast the spell, thus this retargetting doesn’t work well. It does however work well as a scapegoating method on like a 1/1 token during the upkeep of an opponent in case of sorcery speeds. Instant speed spells can always react after all.

Wew, good stuff folks. Hard to choose the number one, but I’ll go with Idea . The render might not be to my liking, but its abilities are top notch. moweda is second, and ameisenmeister is third.
