Anyone thought about her? Shes pretty nasty. I might consider her in my Gruul aggro. Shes a bit small in the butt, but her built in act of treason is pretty rad.

yeah certainly looks fun. I'm definitely a Temur guy so I'm pretty excited. The colors are very attainable so you wont need to mana fix with her the same way you do with all these wedges.

I'm liking it. Aggressive critter for aggro with a bit of utility built in. Easily gets around singleton blockers if you've got the mana.

idk if I see her getting a lot of play though. She is very fragile in current standard and really in general. Personally I think it needed to be permanent control of a creature, not just till end of turn. Surrak Dragonclaw seems to outclass her as a Khan.

Question, If you use the ability to take a Goblin Rabblemaster, you won't get the token because the combat phase already started?

she'd be interesting as a voltron commander. You don't have to steal a creature from the person your attacking so it could make for some shenanigans. Attack Opponent 1 with Opponent 2's creature, or just being able to attack with the best creature on the board every turn you have.

if you make her your general in edh will your deck colors be RUG?

I believe so. From my understanding a cards color identity is determined by the color or any mana symbols in it's cost or rules text.

Effectively. It'd be impossible to use him if there's no access to at least blue mana.

Also to take care of the "end of turn problem", there's Conjurer's Closet.

ShiroiBara no because you can use red mana instead of blue if you need to. That's the wonder of hybrid mana symbols. You can use one color or the other.

I meant at least, as both of the hybrid mana needed are blue. One is also red but the second is also green.

Actually the cost on Yasova Dragonclaw's ability is two U/R hybrid, She can be played just as easily in a G/R as a G/U deck.

I really really like her; sure she's fragile but not any more so than Rabblemaster, which is appropriate because like Rabble she can just sit back and get you an attacker. While you have to pay for the ability unlike Rabble, Rabble can't steal a Mantis Rider or maybe a Courser of Kruphix
