Firespitter Whelp Rating : 3/10 Surprisingly similar to Firebrand Archer, though Firespitter Whelp is bigger and more expensive, and it gets a minor bonus from other dragons
It hits a lot of three or four mana Commanders, and on top of that, hits cards like Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, a card I lamented was out of range of a traditional Lightning Bolt
With the exception of two generic manacosted artifact creatures, all the adamant cards are on monocolor spells, and all are themed as being part of the various courts
Hes cheaper, cares about a much better creature type, and although youre not getting a wholesale copy of whatever Cat you cast, youre still creating a creature token whenever you do
The drain does often look like it isn't worth a card but it is actually used about as much as the other two modes
