Reviews

It has no unplayable uncommons, and only two commons I like to avoid (Smaug's Fury and Iron Hills Stalwart).

If that is going to pay off, expect Iron Hills Blacksmith at two mana to be a big part of it. This card is both pay-off and setup rolled into one. The Axe isn't exactly amazing, but it does turn the Blacksmith into a two-power Double Strike Creature. Double Strike gets out of hand very quickly. This card can take over games with just a little bit of help and protection.
