1mana monsters

Would that work? It sounds like it would work...

Then lets go back and remove all that slime synergy.
Also, Manamancer and Kelar Sentry. Oh, and all the horrors and fleshlings too.

If we only see 1 mana creatures and possibly some 2 mana creatures. Every single dark creature can hold their own (given time and effective ability use, same as your requirements for Kelar Cit) against 1 and 2 mana creatures as well- but also can do a solid amout of damage to cards costing 3+ mana as well.

Has nothing to do with the ability.

A fair about of snipers and red goops kill them as is, with the draw phase/end phase change you suggested only snipers do. But then again, why would they want to? It's not like they're the slightest threat. An orb is more dangerous than a Kelar Citizen.

It doesn't help is really the problem. Sure, now they won't die before 'summoning sickness' wears off.

To sum this up, I have three major problems with Kelar Cit as it stands:
A) 1 mana creatures are early game material, a time when neither player has a field of 5 generators. Most of the time, the cit will be lucky to be gaining +10 before the opponent drops something that can kill it with ease, and take minimal damage.
Later in the game, any wall is better. ANY. There's another balance arguement concerning the fact that something like 80% of the current walls are too weak.
B) Ian Decoy is better, non-unique, and has the same mana cost. The only think it lacks is manamancer synergy, which I don't really get. Manamancer works best in a deck ment to rush them out to buff the mana gain. A deck that doesn't rely on generators. ...get where I'm going?
C) It's a Kelar. Give it racial synergy. I'll admit, this is my weakest arguement as we balanced Melrak Follower without giving it Follower synergy. However, we have soldier synergy x2, and slime synergy with other 1 mana cards. I don't see why we should just ignore the possibility, if we don't have some other suggestion that is great (as I thought the Melrak Follower one was.)
