Title: M15 common card of the day! Borderland Marauder
Post by: Hunteroffire9 on July 10, 2014, 07:33:07 PM
This will be a short series were I will talk about a few common cards of each color that could possibly be used in standard! (From m15)

Here is the card of the day:
{Borderland Marauder}
Cost    1R
Card Type    Creature  — Human Warrior
P / T    1 / 2
Rarity    Common
Card Text   
Whenever Borderland Marauder attacks, it gets +2/+0 until end of turn.

Flavor Text   
Though she is rightly feared, there are relatively few tales of her deeds in battle, for few survive her raids.
---------------

Alright, at first looks she is a 2 1/2 but when you glance at her again she is a better version of {gore-house chain walker} which was normally a 3/2 that cannot block at all, an the contrary borderland is a 3/2 when it attacks and can be a 1/2 if it is needed to block with. Gorehouse was used in rdw in the beginning of the rtr block and borderland could easily fill this place if the rdw archetype survives the rotation or could be used in other red based aggro decks. Thanks for reading!

It's not a bad draft pull. I'm planning on playing red at prerelease (either Izzet or straight red) and I'll keep a lookout for it.
