Hate Merkfolks

[LinkCelestrial]

I hate {Coat of Arms}. So I say no. {Obelisk of Urd} though?

This really depends on the context in which you play. In a multiplayer format, you'd rather have {Coat of Arms} simply because you have to deal 60 damage rather than 20, and while it is slower, it has a far greater damage output.

I hate {Coat of Arms} because as soon as it hits the table everybody has to cross reference creatures and break out dice. On top of that it's capable of helping your opponent, which can be bad (like if you happen to be playing slivers). I do prefer {Obelisk of Urd} because it's simple while still being effective.

It's a matter of taste for me. {Coat of Arms} is probably technically better. It's just how it works that makes me dislike it.
