Ravnica unseen heavy weights

well today whilst thinking about two cards a thought crossed my mind. "what wins magic games" and the simple answer is CMC. what is cmc? you might ask well it stands for 'converted mana cost' and what that means is how much Mana does it cost to play a card. How can that be the key to winning magic games?? an excellent question rob!  let me break it down to you how i have come to see it over the last few years. each turn is an opportunity to win, if you have a turn that you cant do anything thats a turn wasted you minds as well given your opponant an extra turn. some games that i have played have lasted just two turns and others more then id like to admit. but the bottom line comes down to cmc.

most creatures have what i call relative cmc. for example..

Centaur healer is a 3/3 for 3. and thats what you would expect as a medium. the creature is a good card it comes out and other creatures that cost about the same have about the same power and toughness. so if each turn you are ahead in your power and toughness but for a lower mana cost your going to win. but doing that is harder then it sounds. you could "ramp" so you would pay for a permanent that gives you an opportunity to increase your mana so your next turn you will be a 'turn ahead' of your opponent or  you play a bigger creature that has what i call defects. like..

this guy on turn three would be scary! a 5/6 with evasion in this case flying. this would mean you have a good chance of winning but doing that would mean pulling off some painful combinations that have an unlikely chance of happening. as a result he isnt played much, which is common. but there are a few cards that i just dont know why they are not played very much.

these two for example. both of them are just really great cards! they are stronger then what they cost and they dont have any drawbacks. why aren't people playing them?? and here it comes..

A CHALLENGE

To build a deck that uses 4 of each of these creatures and to make an opponent realize they are really good cards. 

you all might be looking at me like

  but after you try this and you realize i have that your CMC is the most important thing in the game you will be like

 

and with that i bid you all a good night and a happy deck plotting. :D
