TypicalTimmy I don't disagree, but looking at a selection of Standard common 2/2 2-drops, Alabaster Host Sanctifier, Goblin Picker, Snooping Newsie, Phyrexian Vivisector, Sporeback Wolf all have simple, easily tracked effects (once you learn the vocabulary) without being pure vanilla.
So right now, P/T average has to be above mana value for vanillas to compete. Green takes over the upper end of the creature mana curve at common, and 5-mana 4/4s appear to be the upper end of full color access without drawbacks. So, given that green and red are going to have bigger creatures than white and blue, what's the best P/T-mana ratio for a vanilla creature to compete with other common creatures? Should there be a vanilla 5/5 for at uncommon? Or more likely for the color, a 6/3, fully obsoleting Raging Poltergeist and Scoria Elemental?
