1mana monsters

...? O.k... um... either I can assume "vanilla 1/1" is a monster with no abilities and 1/1 stats or I can interpret it as having gotten off subject. Aside from that, your first sentence says ~50% of the 1 costers should be vanilla and the second one says too many vanilla monsters are boring...

Great reasoning for why we SHOULD do this. I can't count the number of times I tell newbs to remove their 1-costers as they're all but useless and the mana can be better spent on at least a monster with a cost of 2. And too many options of what? These are minor abilities that explain themselves (except Kelar Citizen which does utilize entrenching), we're not talking about something like: "Destroy: random monster is Spiked, gains Quick Hit, and Block-dizzies" where there's a lot of game terminology.
