This is less about creatures than about countermagic. The idea here is that a slow death in a game where most key things are countered will be just as bad as a quick death by heavy energy and creature damage. There’s probably a little work to be done here, but we’ll see how this fares. Can it get 50%? (The answer proved to be an 0-3 "no.") The 10/28/2 curve is absolutely ridiculous, averaging only 1.80. There just wasn't enough in there to win, merely delay losing.
