Dragon Sniper

I might be quite new to this, but...

All of that for _ONE_ mana?

Another green-ish card that I recently played against that peaked my interest, "Anthem of Champions": https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=679193

+1/+1 is not much for some...

I wish that we could get a reprint of "Bad Moon": https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=393879

If you're wondering why "Anthem of Champions" has a stronger effect than "Bad Moon," then it's probably because:
1. The mana cost of the first one is much more restrictive.
2. Buffing your army isn't a black color thing.
But still, the strength of cards was never consistent.

The new green card is great. On the other hand, it doesn't really fit popular green archetypes. But I bet it will be one of the strongest commons in limited formats.

It's uncommon, a bit too strong for a common. I think green needs something like this, with all the common and uncommon dragons in the set.

a 1/1 deathtoucher that otherwise does nothing (except blocks fliers) isn't really good for green outside of limited.
the vigilance doesn't matter unless you swing at an empty board and your opponent has haste.
you would never swing this to bait a block because then you give your opponent the choice to sac their weakest creature, all for the reward of 1 damage if they don't.

Yeah, my mistake. Still a pretty strong option for an uncommon.

I like it. To be honest, to match its flavour, I'd probably add protection from dragons but I guess that would be too many keywords on a 1-drop.

And that would be too powerful in a Dragon-themed set. As is, he's fair, there are a lot of fliers in the set, and he dies in combat unless you have a trick.

Deathtouch creatures are in a set to work with bite spells (spells that have your creatures deal damage equal to their power).

Other's have said it well. Dragon Sniper will probably be really good in limited, he might find a place within Fynn, the Fangbearer? Even then, Fynn in Historic prefers the Deathtouch insects for synergies with Phyresis Roach.
So yeah, HistoricBrawl Fynn will have Dragon Sniper as an auto-include. Brawl in general, if you're doing a generic green deck without a hard theme, this will probably be an auto-include.
