I was witness to Dr. Blight getting affliction on the first hit that led to his narrow victory over me. Maybe it was the first time, who knows?! I haven't made it back to Modern Champ 1 in a few months now, it is quite challenging to get over the hump of 4300 ranking!
I would agree that those 2-mana commons are great additions with weapons training. I also like rare the life monster with two attacks + repair, as well as the immunity monster with opportunity. I'm still just now exploring new tactics after mostly just getting the hang of the promos and weapons training combos.
