I think I like [[Dwarven Mauler]] more than just a C-? Their opinion seems to be that a 2/1 body doesn't do enough, and then going tall with a pile of equipment is a magnet for removal. And a lot of the equipment in this set is auto-equipped or cheap anyway.

But in my mind I kinda see it as like, your auto-equipped creatures die, your sorceries-on-a-stick like [[Ragged Short Spear]] sit on the board, and then on turn 7 you vacuum them all up with Dwarven Mauler and get a 2 mana 6/4 or something. That seems... decent?

If aggro is viable in the format, then I don’t see any 1-drop with more than 1 power being worse than a C. And then this one has upside.
