Here is a question for anyone who follows the Standard Enviro closer than I do (which is probably about 80% of the CPA)
Does anyone think Coat of Arms is going to have an impact on Type 2? Always considered a staple for the casual player, it never stood a chance of competing in the Rath era type 2 because at 5 mana it was too expensive.
I see potential for it now with:
Rebels - Rebels has never been a speed demon so this won't slow it down too much. 5 mana for an army of 4/4s or 5/5s or 9/9s seems like a nail in the coffin to me.
Elves - A lot of people on the CPA have tried to build a competitive Standard Elf deck. Elvish Lyrist and Might of Oaks also make this a little more viable, and a turn 4 Coat probably wouldn't be so bad, especially if those elves have forest walk.
Zombies - This challenge has been out there for awhile now
Saprolings - WoTC appears to purposely be trying to build this archetype, has anyone else noted the killer freaking saproling cards recently? To list some:
Artifact/Aura Mutation
Nemata and her buddy Verdeloth, oh and Rith
Spontaneous Generation
Saproling Symbiosis
Opposition
Coat of Arms
Spidersilk Armor/Collective Unc.
and so on.
I'll try to build something in the deck section, it will suck but who cares.
