The game seems to have moved past some of the older strategies. It is far more difficult now, in the time it takes to play a game, to steal creatures effectively. This might have some play in certain situations, but likely will never see play. I could go all-in with the creature stealing, taking more of many of these cards, but I would be left largely defenseless while waiting. Hexproof and shroud are certainly threats, too. The 10/9/14/7 curve is short enough, but also pretty flat, averaging 2.45.
