BZZZT. Stormkin comes down early and hits immediately, making it a great way to pressure the opponent and a card that will often deal 6-8 damage without trouble. Plus, it’s even an Elemental, which blue-red is a fan of. The casting costs here are difficult enough that you can’t evaluate the cards as if they are a 3-mana 3/3 flier or a 3-mana 3/4. You are looking to play these around turn 5-6 (or later), so any that are efficiently costed (like Kaalia) lose a lot of their luster. They are also risky early picks, and only a few are worth jumping into without knowing where you are going to end up.
