Gutterbones

Constructed-Playable Creatures

Pioneer made me realize black, not white, is the color that gets the largest number of constructed-playable "savanah lions". White's usually involve some minor upside (Venerable Knight, Dauntless Bodyguard). Conversely, black's have minor drawbacks with tremendous upside, usually in the form of recursion (Gutterbones, Dread Wanderer, Gravecrawler, Bloodsoaked Champion). Is this by design, or do you think white should get the best 2/1's for one?

If you define the “best” 2/1’s as those having recursion then yes, black’s going to have the best ones as that’s primary in black.

Balancing Standard Drops

Can I ask for more 2 power 1 drops? Gutterbones has become one of my favorite cards recently!

We do them from time to time, but we have to be careful of their volume in Standard.
