So, I'm digging the pushed white weenie and am throwing together standard goodies. I've run into a conflict, though. Would running a playset of {Boros Reckoner}s or {Brimaz, King of Oreskos}? Brimaz is more toughness and vigilance with the ability to get kitty cats, but reckoner isn't legendary, so I wouldn't be stuck with multiples in hand. I also feel like Brimaz is more squishy than reckoner. Reckoner makes them question chump blocking, but Brimaz is out of {Lightning Strike} range. Brimaz is also good for making lots of tokens, but I can't decide. Halp!!
I would think that considering that he has vigilance and can then attack and block regularly, you'll profit more quickly from the cats you generate.
He's the new card, surely you'll be test driving him first anyway ;)
When it doubt? 2 of each and see which youre happiest to see in the test games

My biggest problem is Brimaz will just eat a couple {Master of Waves} tokens and my opponent'll just be like "Yeah, whatever," whereas {Boros Reckoner} would punish them for chumping. You do make a good point, though. A 3/4 Vigilance {Hero of Bladehold} wannabe is no pushover. I'm just trying to think outside of that "perfect game" where they don't have blockers or removal. I mean, red removal. Both of them will eat a {Hero's Downfall} the same way haha

Probably just going to proxy-test first, so I may try several different combinations of the two haha. Just wanting second opinions.
How about 6 3 drops with a 3-3 or 4-2 split reckoners/brimaz or brimaz/reckoners?
