Cool Card Design of the Day
8/14/2013 - A decent method to make one-drops relevant in the late game is to give them an ability that scales, but you have to be careful with abilities that scale with the the number of turns, like
Stromkirk Noble (who works because his ability is conditional on a successful attack). For triggered abilities, you can make it an ETB trigger like
Goblin Bushwhacker, a dying trigger like
Doomed Traveler, or an attack trigger like
Legion Loyalist.
