This thread is for discussion of this week's Limited Information, which goes live Tuesday morning on magicthegathering.com.

Yes, this was very interesting. I dislike most 1-drops unless I'm in a very aggressive deck. (Obviously things like Goldmeadow Harrier and Rhys the Redeemed don't count.) But I've always liked Oona's Gatewarden - comes from my natural tendency to play control decks.

You said the Smolder Initiate was only "fairly good". I think he's excellent in a mono- or heavy-black deck; I've seen him take away 8 points of life over the course of a game, and break through stalemates like anything.

Also, I salute you on the article title: it fits the article perfectly (half the article is about being green, the other half is about one-drops), and also sounds like it fits the theme of Elf Week, while managing to never actually focus on those irritating pointy-eared creatures themselves

A very good article, and nice piloting of the mono green deck. I like playing PDC (pauper, commons only), and you see a lot of 1/1 creatures that are good and not so good. The red initiate is probably the best of 1/1 1 cost drops, and probably the best initiate of the 4 but the black one isn't to far behind. Other good std 1 drops commons for the other colors imo Goldmeadow Harrier, Sage of Epityr, and Prickly Boggart (black is kind of lacking a really good 1 drop wish it had a 1 drop discard creature (even if it had a echo cost), but it does have one of the better two drops Ravenous Rats).

Yay, good article. One question: Hoh did you play a Wickerbough Elder[/c] with a Godhead out?

He didn't.

Brian tried to buy enough time to play Godhead of Awe with a Trip Noose, but I had the Wickerbough Elder to put him out of the game.

Why is Safewright Quest better than a 17th forest?

Land thinning and a pair of Safehold Duos, who get very excited about a Safewright Quest, but a forest? Not so much.
