...this might be the best Boros card ever after Forth Eorlingas! , which honestly might be the only reason why this won't see more cube play.
I'm starting to think this as well.
Is it better than Comet, Stellar Pup? I think I have that one as the 2nd best Boros card after Forth Eorlingas! personally. I think eomer might be 3rd, but Figure of Destiny provides some more diversity so Boros isn't all midrange threats.
The cut shouldn't be Tireless Tracker obviously since Tracker is an amazing card, but it does compare really well to tracker and other than the ceiling case is usually better than it as starting out higher toughness and being more resilient to removal is a real thing.
We're gonna happily play both.
Agree - don't think anyone should cut Tracker. Cutting Courser or Oracle makes more sense - this is a more durable, more aggressive value engine alternative to Courser or Oracle.
Hard to evaluate, but I think Steve Man is probably right. These top end targets are better if it's something like Sundering Titan that also work well in the Sneak Attack an reanimator decks.
It might be a hot take, but personally I think this is better than Kari Zev, Eidolon or Dire Fleet Daredevil.
This can attack as a 3/1 haste for 2 which is exactly what red aggro wants to do, and in the right deck it shouldn't be hard to trigger the activation at least once a turn.
If you follow this up with a T3 Rabblemaster variant you can really go nuts because then you get two activations, which means it can add 6 power on turn 3. Seems good.
In a 360 powered Cube that supports reanimator (and contains current reanimate targets Inkwell Leviathan, Grave Titan, five 6+ mana value green cards, Atarka, Battlesphere, Wurmcoil, Sphinx of the Steel Wind & Sundering Titan):
1) Run both Griselbrand & Archon of Cruelty
OR
2) Only run one of them & add another midrange black creature
BONUS This or That:
If only running one...which one? Griselbrand/Archon of Cruelty
Thanks!
I would definitely run both. I feel like these are the two best reanimator payoffs, so I'd always run them if reanimator is supported, even at 360.
Griselbrand is better though, so if only running one, Griselbrand.
This is definitely a cool / good card. But I think Laelia, the Blade Reforged and Light up the Stage are better / more mana efficient variations on this, so I don't think I'll add it at 360.

Out of these, I like angel of invention and guardian scalelord the most.
I think karmic guide and wingmate roc are the weakest of the bunch.

I think Courser will probably be the cut for me to test this.
Lightning Helix vs. Comet, Stellar Pup vs. Forth Eorlingas! vs. Boros Signet vs. Figure of Destiny
Third Path Iconoclast vs. Sprite Dragon vs. Expressive Iteration vs. Prismari Command
Mulldrifter vs. Ledger Shredder vs. Consecrated Sphinx
Thanks!
