Here's my list of the worst pieces from Baxars... Green Crusader Why bother when for the same price you could spawn such notables as Brighthammer and Whirlwind Dervish. Even the subpar Sightless Eunuch is better. Faceless King Bad stats and no one except the Faceless stalker (and itself) to support but who wants a 3x Faceless stalker and 3x Faceless King band???. Granted future sets will probably give us more Lost lineage creatures which could make this amazing but for now its thumbs down. Maulrat Till the day that Mono-Passion is viable (it aint here yet) this thing gets outclassed by almost every other 4-drop available across the factions. Skinless This one gets demolished in the usefulness department by the Asylum Escapee, Jack in the Box and maybe even Dr. Ape.� Clawkiller Just meh. Even if your just filling a spot on your spawn curve, dont you want a creature with an ability? Disclaimer - I retract the statements above if, in the future, any of these creatures become part of a tournament winning band.

Pale Horse; Follower-2. This thing can't attack at all without another 2 creatures in the cell. With Baxr/Arch you could spawn this stright into a cell with 2 allied creatures. But I'd much rather spawn a Buzzclaw or a Murderous Berserker in those circumstances. Whirling Knifedancer; Not only is this clearlyy inferior ito the scarab. but even if your one of the majority of players who doesn't want to spend $70 on a scarab. You would still be better off playing a Virtuous Maiden. Stag Zealot; Power-zero is so oustanding on a creature which needs blades to use it's ability. Sightless Eunuch; compare this to a Hawkeyed instigator . You get 2 more life for 1 more spawn cost (itself a fairly poor trade) and the multiblade-advance which makes the instigator strong. Downgrades to a blade-advance. Bloodcut behemoth. spawn+2 for a creature which is essentially a dreamreef marauder. Note; Faceless stalker is an OK unit. While the King's stats are pitifull, that ability is a potential game winner. I'm distinctly tempted to try this combo. I might even have to try it. If my various ebay purchases don't arrive before the next 1K tournament. Yes you clearly want at least one more strong "Lost" creature...

Don't worry about the current metagame. It doesn't matter if it's ugly, bad, or the best ever. In 2 years time, set rotation will ban everything.

Kinfe Dancer, Zealot, Eunuch - agreed, all crap units. Pale Horse - Not sure its so horrible - it is cheap power but the drawback is somewhat restricting. Attacking with 3 or more creatures is, however, a common occurence in the game. Not saying its top tier or anything but not AS crappy as these others above. Bloodcut Behemoth - Imagine this thing with 2 or 3 Virtuous Maidens and a Tlimexic Bloodlord in an adjacent cell - who wants to risk Last Gasp on that? Many are exploring the virtues of the Bloodcut lineage - so I think the jury could be out on this one just yet. I do agree it is a bit overpriced though. Faceless King - I certainly see the potential. The Stalkers do get disrupted more often than killed - so I'l agree this could be interesting. I retract my stance on the King.
