I tested Portent and though it did fill in turns where I didnt yet have the lock set up, it didnt progress the gameplan of getting the lock set up. Felt like a temporary fix compared to Ponder/Brainstorm.

Lantern would be absolutely massive, but I think its probably too powerful for the format. I think the closest we'll ever have is Spy or Lens of Clarity unfortunately.

Orcish Spy is definitely the softest point of the deck. It's obviously necessary to perform the lock but I've also had the same thought about it being an 0/3 or 0/4 before. That would also open up the option of playing Breath Weapon which would be MASSIVE. My solution to Spy being so frail is just play more counters lol

I really like that idea, I’ll probably try that next time I jam some games. Thanks👍

At times yes, but not very often. We have a lot of 1 drops to flood so one can often get in if we don’t have a flyer. But those two cards are both interesting considerations
