    Epicure means that they have two different 1 drops that make an artifact which they can turn into 3 goblins the following turn.

    With only one 1 drop, there probably isn’t the value in running Gleeful Demolition. Which makes their starts much less explosive.

      Yeah, but they can go up to four copies of Yotian Frontliner. It’s not as good, but I don’t think it’s bad enough to sink the deck. And that’s assuming that neither color gets an artifact-producing one-drop in the next set. Or lands that make it viable to go into a third color for Spyglass Siren.

        I think fixing will be much less good with rotation, at least initially. Plus fixing needs to be really good to make splashing a 1 drop viable.

        I also don’t think it will sink the deck, but I do think it makes it notably worse.

        You’re right that demolishing their own Yotian Frontliner post combat, or even the turn you play it after tapping it to something might still be good enough though.
