Aw yes. I've been looking forward to see brewers do fun things with the sneaky snacker and the refurbished familiar. Also I underestimated how fun it is to just say "sneaky snacker." You appear to enjoy saying it as well. [Not me in the kitchen at work checking to see if there are any Reese's peanut butter cups left in the candy bowl at 3:00PM.]

Have you ever played eldrazi tron before? I think it looks interesting. I feel like with expedition map, stirrings, and crop rotation, you can have tron turn 3 most games. I would like to see an new updated list. If anyones got one. I like the idea of ramping into Ulamogs crusher and anihilator cards. not many of them legal in pauper. The green monarch card might be good too.

The snacker is a great card, for sure, but I don't know how badly affinity wants it. It feels like it'd be better in dimir fairies or dimir control, where you send it to graveyard with delver/augur of bolas/spellstutter sprite, then brainstorm on end step, get a multiple snackers back and then crack one of the new fetches to shuffle the brainstorm lock. I think I prefer kenku and blood fountain for indestructible flyers and recurring the familiars for hand destruction.

Ngl I feel like refurbished familiar just isn't worth be included in affinity. You can't abuse it's ETB so discarding one card from an opponent's hand at sorcery just feels super low impact. Drawing one is neat but in grixis affinty, I'm already running so many draw spells that I found myself going for those 99% of the time over familiar. Sneaky snacker also already fits the role of having a flyer body in affinity so familiar just feels like a waste. This card fits soooooooo much better in orzhov blade where it's ETB can be abused.
