Which of these fictional Weenie Units would you put in a Deck first, part 1?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Blind Seer 1M

Unit - Seer - Double Rare

When Blind Seer enters the Battlefield, look at the top two cards of your Deck and put them back on top or bottom of your Deck in any order.

2/2

Burning Imp BB

Unit - Imp - Double Rare

Air.

B: Burning Imp gains +1/+0 until end of turn.

2/1

Killer Bee B

Unit - Bee - Rare

Air. Deadly. (Any damage dealt to an enemy unit by Killer Bee destroys that Unit.)

1/1

Jolt Bird B

Unit - Bird - Double Rare

When Jolt Bird enters the Battlefield, create an Energy Gem with "Forfeit this Gem: Add one Energy of any Type to your Bank.)

1/1

Samurai Champion 1B

Unit - Samurai - Rare

1B: Samurai Champion gains +2/+2 until end of turn. Use this ability only once each turn.

2/2

E (Activate and Exhaust): Add B to your Bank. Shuffle Ant Drone into your Deck and Draw a Card.

1/1

Force of Nature BS

Unit - Beast - Double Rare

Tactics. (Units blocking or blocked by Force of Nature gain -1/-1 until end of turn.)

Brute. (When Force of Nature blocks or becomes blocked, it gains +1/+1 until end of turn. This ability can't be triggered more than once per turn.)

2/2

Blind Seer

Burning Imp

Killer Bee

Jolt Bird

Samurai Champion

Ant Drone

Force of Nature

[AI Opinion]

That sounds like an awesome selection of units for a deck! ✨ If I had to pick one to start with, I'd go with Force of Nature. This unit has two solid abilities: Tactics and Brute, which make it versatile in both offense and defense. The Tactics ability weakens enemy units it interacts with, while the Brute ability makes it even stronger in combat. It’s a well-rounded choice that can handle multiple scenarios effectively.

Plus, who doesn't love a powerful beast unit that can turn the tide in your favor? 🌿🐾

So most of these seem like in a specific type of deck they would be super strong. The overall top pick I guess would be force of nature. Its bassically a 4/4 for two without downside.

Ant drone is interesting. Yes its a manadork that gives you a card but is gone after a one time use. That it gets shuffeled into your library and not get sacrificed feels like actually a downside. In your library its gone. Ressource lost. (As long as you dont play against mill)
If you would sacrifice it you had a target in your graveyard for future interaction. The draw a card is the part that saves the drone though.

Burning imp is like straight up better compared to the samurai. Only upside for samurai is he can block better.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

This game uses "Life Decking," and "bonus life", so sacrificing your own permanents would usually be a bad idea, unless you are using Xyxyl's Lich Ring or Xyxyl's Profane Altar.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Burning Imp is more vulnerable to direct damage cards and abilities, so it works out.

[msmissydc]

What is life decking and bonus life? Why does that make sacrifices worse.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Your Deck is your starting life total. When you take damage, you must Banish/Exile that many cards from the top of your deck. When you gain life, it goes to a Bonus Life Pool, which shields you from the Banish/Exile cost of taking damage.

If you need to willfully PAY life for some reason, you lose bonus life if you have any. If you do not have bonus life, you lose that many Banished cards from the top of your deck.

There is no card which can get a Banished card back from the Banished pile. This provides Attrition and discourages players from building "keystone" decks, which rely too heavily on one card or one combo of cards.

[msmissydc]

So every deck is a mill deck? That makes control decks much weaker and aggro decks a lot stronger.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

Well, the control cards are very powerful. "Greater Command" in combination with either "Meltdown" or "Atomic Force Barrier" adds up to one-sided board wipe.

Blind Seer is really a control creature, and then "Eye of the Watcher" is probably the best creature in the entire game, but you haven't seen him yet.
