Ambush Viper

Request for Card

Please make a three-mana Ambush Viper with no additional upsides. I need it for a cube; Ambush Viper is too good because it outshines Ashcoat Bear, but at three mana it would be about right.

A very narrow ask. : )

Ambush Viper Analysis

Is Ambush Viper (green flash deathtouch 2/1) a break?

I believe so.

Permissibility of Green Flash Deathtouch

Hi Mark! So if a green Flash Deathtouch creature is not allowed, then does that mean Ambush Viper was a break?

More of a “we shouldn’t have made it” than a break.

Flash Trait Evolution

Now that flash is given sometimes to black, would Ambush Viper be a black card today?

Probably.

Hexproof vs Deathtouch

I'm still confused about Question #27. If I look at recent sets, hexproof is used more frequently than deathtouch, especially at common. In addition, a mistake with deathtouch can easily lead to a color pie break (Ambush Viper). I was really hoping for more explanation on this one.

The question asks about “being the most careful” not the “being done the least often”.
