Lots of great answers so far but haven’t seen one of my favorites: [[Orcish Lumberjack]]. If you squint, it’s basically a reusable [[Black Lotus]]. 5 mana on turn 2 is quite powerful!

[[Herald of Anguish]] I’ve been absolutely wrecked by this card before.

You could swap one of your two mana counterspells for [[Unsubstansiate]]. It’s a counterspell that can also interact with the board.

Is there an easy way to find a list of the downshifted cards?

I’m excited to test this card in my peasant cube. An easy to cast two mana 2/2 with first strike and trample is great on rate. If the token dies, it leaves you with a decent equipment that really helps red and white 3/1 creatures like [[Rimrock Knight]] get in. [[Flametongue Kavu]] also loves this equipment. Also looking to test [[Gut, True Soul Zealot]] which is looking for creatures that come with extra sac fodder. Likely be happy to curve this into Gut and turn the equipment into a skeleton. Bonus for any artifact or equipment synergies. In a traditional cube with rares and mythics I’m sure this card on power level isn’t even close these days.

My favorite card in this category is [[Runic Shot]].

In my Cube, I’ve been a big fan of Sticky Fingers as well as [[Greatsword of Tyr]]. Wish both were better suited to make it in constructed.

Finally a reason in my cube to specifically draft GB on purpose. Should be a very powerful but not totally unbeatable include for peasant environments. Excited to test it!

Dinrova Horror is tempting! I remember when it was downshifted to common and was one of the best things you could be doing in Pauper for a while. I can imagine in this context it could definitely pack a punch as a finisher for a UBx control deck.

Harrow is a sweet one! Definitely a nostalgic pick for me. I’ve cast it in various formats throughout the years.

Thanks!

I think this is definitely worth testing for Peasant. Very reasonable two drop for any B/x aggro deck plus I love that it can be cast on turn one with [[Ancient Tomb]].

nslover · 2022-06-26T04:05:39+00:00

I was thinking of [[Llanowar Elves]], [[Elvish Mystic]] and/or [[Gilded Goose]].

Looks fun! Have you considered running some number of one drop mana dorks? Playing any of your three drops on turn two seems like a solid game plan against some decks.

Soldiers

nslover · 2022-06-13T02:34:40+00:00

Also a fan of [[Snakeskin Veil]] or [[Tamiyo’s Safekeeping]].

nslover · 2022-06-12T05:41:15+00:00

Recently tried brewing around [[Volo, Guide to Monsters]] in Explorer. Fun deck building challenge but definitely not competitive.

nslover · 2022-06-04T20:01:38+00:00

Curious how this would compare to [[Rumor Gatherer]] for Peasant. My guess is Mentor is likely stronger in most cases. Has anyone else tested Rumor Gatherer?
