Kotis, The Fangkeeper has been high on my list since I was able to see it in the previews for the set and I was happy when I opened him in a pack. 

An Indestructible 2/1 that has an ability that lets you cast things for free when you deal combat damage. Another auto-include in my PR deck and the reaction that opponents had when I was able to get him out on the board is priceless. Reading that Indestructible up top. It reassured me that I had a durable blocker and I can have a reliable attacker. 

However I was only able to activate this ability twice. I got me a pair of 2 mana cost blockers! And the one time I was able to equip a Dragonfire Blade on him for a discounted rate of 1 colorless mana since he already has Sultai colors. Alas I got nothing of value that swing and lost but the EDH player in me was rejoicing! I got to do something that I have not been able to do for the first time! 

And Kothis will be a new project of mine. There are tons of things that can make him bigger and well connect better , Auras that make him fly , Whispersilk Cloak that gives him shroud and just let him past defenses.

And  the thing with Indestructible creatures is that you can just Damnation the board and he would just stand there with all that equipment and auras and swing to his hearts content while all the other creatures end up in the Graveyard. Time to brew.
