Beskir Shieldmate

Creature — Human Warrior

When this dies (is put into the graveyard from the battlefield), create a 1/1 white Human Warrior creature token.

cfost827 Bitterblossom is too slow for my liking. If you get it down before turn 5, it can produce a lot of value, but it's almost worthless if you draw it lategame. I prefer my token makers to be on death triggers that I can sac on a moment's notice. If you think it's valuable, I could see it being very good in some cases. Just not my cup of tea.

As far as 2 drop token makers go, Beskir Shieldmate is good. We always want our cheap token makers to have 1 toughness for Skullclamp purposes, so he meets that criteria. However, I'd play cards like Imperious Oligarch for better keywords or Carrier Thrall for mana utility before this. If you're already playing those though, then throwing this in wouldn't hurt if you want more cheap tokens.

Hey Masterful, hope all is well! Just had a quick question

I see that it's on your "Maybe" board but do you think Bitterblossom has any room in your deck? Not to sure what you would take out but Bitterblossom seems like it could but good - Making additional sac fodder which could help.

Additionally, not sure if you saw the new card but Beskir Shieldmate might even be worth adding. It's a 2 drop that creates a token when it dies. But might not be worth it with it not being a 1 drop like Garrison Cat, Witness, etc. Just thought i'd call it out haha

Hope all is well! Not sure if it would be worth adding in this new card but Beskir Shieldmate is another fodder/token maker to possible add. The only thing is that unlike Garrison Cat, Hunted Witness, etc - he is a 2 drop. Not sure if that makes him unusable, as you can't really tutor him up with Ranger of Eos , but still may be valuable just to have additional fodder in this deck. What do you think?

Additionally, do you think Bitterblossom or Bloodline Keeper  Flip have any room in your current deck list? Not to sure what you would take out but Bitterblossom seems like it could but good - but I guess it's probably because they don't trigger these abilities off dying - which is the main issue. Thanks!

My advice? cut your red cards. Replace them with Undersea Invader, Wings of the Cosmos, Beskir Shieldmate and Axgard Braggart. The red cards really don't give you anything interesting or good. Wings is super underrated in this limited format, but you can use it to make a tapped creatures into a surprise flying blocker, and there are a lot of good flyers running around. Invader is good because it is one of the biggest creatures in terms of stats in the format. There are very few cards at common or uncommon that favorably block it. Shieldmate and Braggart are both really really good aggressive white cards. Remember that you can activate Braggart's boast ability before damage is dealt.
