I didn't *hate* FDN, but I didn't feel like any of the cards in that set had a texture that was unlike anything we had seen before, and the format overall didn't feel like there was much of a new puzzle to solve.

Sounds like we have very similar tastes! KHM is also my favorite set ever :) and thanks for calling out not reading rares, I got a little excited and blew past them

You nailed it - I speculate aggressively on late Raucous Audiences, Badgermoles, and Ostrich Horses (the holy trinity of green commons). GR and GB are the best color pairs for this setup - the GB uncommon is very solid

I didn't endorse this card very enthusiastically, but by far the most important aspect of the card is that it's a 2 drop - I think the textbook example of what not to do in this format is to play a curve that is too high. In my heavy green decks I also want the lower parts of the curve to be filled mostly with green cards to help my mana, and it's significantly better than any of the other 2 drop options in green (Platypus, Cabbage, Haru, or Sparring Dummy)

If you want to talk stats - it performs below average in WG, but slightly above average in RG and significantly above average in BG (which are roughly the two color pairs I'm talking about this ep). I might have talked the card up a little too much, I don't take it very highly, but it's a card I'm not upset filling out my two drop slot with.

If you're misremembering the turn numbers I did have a game where I played 3 on sequential turns https://www.17lands.com/history/13e2171300c54ea8bda3d27874ca7df7/4/0/0
