It's playing utility 3 drops at 5 power, synergistic creatures that build to a functional beater deck. Watching the video right now, and right out of the gate it's overwhelmingly obvious they're building a selvala deck that isn't building to combo. Feel free to disagree with that evaluation, but don't dismiss a position and go around insulting people for any reason because you disagree without considering their stance (to be fair, they also could have done a better job of explaining why they thought it was a trap). They seem to think that the floor outweighs the ceiling. The CZ seem to think its not in the meta's that they play in. And in a more casual meta where games go longer and tutors are less used the chances of seeing this card when its bad start to approach or overtake the chances of seeing it when its good.ĭoes the upside outweigh the downside of having a dead-card at other points of the game? Maybe. Its a card that is extremely strong when in the development stages of the game, but may do little to nothing while behind, and will do nothing when ahead. If the correct requirements aren't met (Selvala is in play, LP is your biggest creature on board, LP is the biggest creature on the entire board), it quickly starts to lose value. The floor on Lupine Prototype is doing nothing.

I think its fair for the CZ to be concerned about Lupine Prototype, especially in less optimized decks, because of how low the floor is. Single questions about cards/money/selling advice should be asked in the stickied threads posted every Mo/We/Fr.I'm going to ignore your 'custom card' because its so different/stronger from Lupine Prototype it isn't really comparable.
