My Pick
[draft]Kird Chieftain[/draft]
I’d take Kird Chieftain first, but the decision was very hard. You have to be in Green to make this gorilla exceptional, so make sure you are.
Assuming you are in Green then a 4/4 for 4 mana is great. And Kird Chieftain’s ability to pump himself and others makes him dificult to interact with.
Once you have the mana open to pump him your opponent will basically need to use some kind of hard removal on him.
He’ll be able to do quite a bit of damage as he can only go unblocked for so long. If they chump block him then you give him trample and he goes through anyway and if they block with a bigger creature you can always pump him to finish it off.
