Man, I really like the Fengraf, but we should get Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist. Even if the spell that comes attached to a creature is a very tiny one, it still helps.

It's a tough choice between Haunted FengrafMTG Card: Haunted Fengraf and Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist. I have gotta go Fengraf. Being able to get a second shot at throwing down Kessig CagebreakersMTG Card: Kessig Cagebreakers or Elder of LaurelsMTG Card: Elder of Laurels is always a good thing.

This may be the weirdest pick, but Sanctuary CatMTG Card: Sanctuary Cat is better than any vanilla 1/1 1CMC creature. Also, it's a decent chump blocker, so it will eventually feed our Kessig CagebreakersMTG Card: Kessig Cagebreakers. Plus we don't have a 1CMC creature yet. I'm going with Sanctuary CatMTG Card: Sanctuary Cat.

Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist. good utility and evasion. Hopefullt the Sanctuary CatMTG Card: Sanctuary Cat or Haunted FengrafMTG Card: Haunted Fengraf come back to us.

Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist. Flying is too good in limited to pass it up IMO. And being able to tap a creature means it can't block and kill our Kessig CagebreakersMTG Card: Kessig Cagebreakers since we have to attack with it to make it good.

I like Sanctuary CatMTG Card: Sanctuary Cat, too. I doubt it will make its way back around, though. We'll get the Plains and one other card from this pack. I'm not concerned about lacking a 1-drop. I am a little miffed by the lack of 2-drops, though. Where's my Dawntreader ElkMTG Card: Dawntreader Elk?!?!?

I'd take Haunted FengrafMTG Card: Haunted Fengraf as long as we agree it's a spell, and does not count toward our total land count. With two and a half colors in the deck, I'm leery of colorless lands.

All said and done, I gotta agree with Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist. It punches for 2 through the air and can tap down annoying blockers... like deathtouching zombies. I can see it being handy with Rally the PeasantsMTG Card: Rally the Peasants or Moment of HeroismMTG Card: Moment of Heroism, too.

I can be talked out of it, but Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist is my vote at the moment.

I really like the permanent giant growth feel of Hunger of the HowlpackMTG Card: Hunger of the Howlpack. That being said I think Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist is the right pick here.

February 2, 2012 11:55 a.m.

Fliers just win games in this format, and we could use some, especially ones that can tap down blockers. So Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist gets my vote.

Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist is my vote. A cheap 2/1 flier that can get in for early pressure, dies easily for the Cagebreakers, and is still relevant lategame by making an attack easier? Sign me up.

Fengraf looks nifty and grindy but that "random" clause makes it too unreliable to me - when I'm getting a dude with a random card from the yard (Woodland SleuthMTG Card: Woodland Sleuth, GhoulraiserMTG Card: Ghoulraiser) it's one thing, but paying three mana and saccing a land for the effect should give me more control.

Curse of Bloodletting is not a good card in limited, in my opinion. It can be a blowout but it can also be a completely dead draw, and there's more situations where it's the latter. I'd rather just topdeck another creature that can deal damage itself rather than an enchantment that ups the damage dealt. The double-red also makes it bad for us.

Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist seems to be the way to go.

A few scattered votes for other items, with the strongest miscellaneous support for Haunted FengrafMTG Card: Haunted Fengraf, but the favorite is Niblis of the MistMTG Card: Niblis of the Mist. Moving along.
