Border Knight

Could also grant haste along with the flying. Or could grant flying for instant, haste for sorcery. That is probably getting overcomplicated though.

It irks me slightly that the base keyword this has is first strike, which is the smae as the WBR one. I think I owuld prefer to have it start with flying and then potentially gain the first strike and/or haste.

Why are these all aggro cards but require perfect mana?

I'm trying to come up with a cycle of common creatures that cost CDE that are fun and fit into all three colors in their mana cost. Preferably because all three colors do the things involved but where necessary by marrying up color pair abilities but certainly not having any colors that are just tacked on because the theme is wedges. I want to do this because our theme is wedges and if your theme isn't at common it isn't your theme. I want them to be tricolored to discourage playing all the good cards in any other three-color combination. And I want them to be CDE not 1CDE or 2CDE because I want them to be better in wedge decks than 4 or 5 color decks. I'm really not sure if making them CDE really works for that but it's the best idea I have currently. I absolutely don't want or require them to be aggro cards. I'm pretty sure the Ohran Viper isn't aggro but I guess the others are all very beefy. Very happy to weak any of that. It's possible that there's no way to make CDE creatures that push you to play a wedge that live at common or that the power level I've started at is way too high or just that any or all of these cards are not fun. But I want to try. It's also possible that trying to make the cards be "truly" wedge-colored is a hopeless task. If you look at the few existing wedge cards none of them really have a wedge flavor. And if you look at the CDE Shards commons and uncommons Woolly Thoctar isn't really very W or very G and Rhox War Monk isn't really U. So perhaps I am trying to do the impossible or perhaps it is unnecessary. But I want to try!

Also agree on the First Strike thing but I would also like both Damas and Sumas to have knights and first strike is really their thing. Maybe that's a totally separate two-cards only cycle outside of CDE-land.
