14-16 Kithkin made my one drop kithkin come out on first turn rather consistently.


I'm wondering what the number'll be for Allies.

I dont believe Allies can work in Constructed. They are spread across too many colors and are too expensive.

Editors: Please stop Flores before he writes again.  This is embarrassing.  


 


To quote him: "When compared with other planeswalkers, Nissa has some really restrictive dependencies."


 


That makes no sense for numerous reasons and is just hilarious in the context of an article written about Magic.  


 


Please try less hard and maybe write something helpful and relevant.

I could see them working, but not the way they're printed right now. If we get a few more that are good in the next set or two then we could hit a critical mass of creatures to make the deck work. I think we'd need about 5-6 excellent ones, since in Pauper GW Sliver decks they play 24 creatures and work out fine.

Could you elaborate on the numerous reasons it makes no sense?  Because Nissa seems to rely heavily on elves in order to be worth playing.

Blade master is the only ally playable in standard your deck just was just awkward with no answer a 4 drop.


Stop using a block constructed strategy and start playing lightning bolts like the rest of the world.

I doubt he can, or will. This guy only shows up at Flores' threads to bash him (with very weak, or non-existent arguments).
