Blake Windrunner needs to run like the wind

[JZ1MM4]

Sorry if there is another thread discussing this already, but although there is a huge amount of power in human allies, poor Blake Windrunner seems underpowered. There has been extensive discussion other places about having a haste mechanic (MTG players know this means the creature/ally can attack as soon as it is played). Not to say a lot of humans should have haste, but since Blake can already be played on turn two, why not be able to attack immediately due to only having one health. For non-mages who don't have portal at their access, this would be an aggro deck game changer!

Probably because people will complain about going second even more than now.
Edit: If thats even possible.

Hmm, actually, I think this would help going second.

Enemy plays blake, and attacks your hero, you play blake and kill his ally. Could work, but would be damn powerful in burn decks, or decks in general that want the opponent's hero to die asap.

I disagree, it is simply changing the tactic. I would play T2 puwen then T3 blake if needed. Also shadow are a bit screwed since the T1 drops are useless now.

As is blake is my favorite 2 drop do to first strike having a high attack value is more important than hit points. as is blake to aldon is very good and it only works if there is not already something on the table that could kill blake giving him haste might make him the best ally in the game (taking price into consideration). So I think blake is fine as is.

well, what this would be good for is slower decks like my Eladwen one...and who says some Shadow allies can't get Haste too? would be amazing on Belladona if her attack was dropped by maybe one...don't know what I am getting myself into here!!!

Haste doesn't have to be given to a certain amount of allies on each side...Look at it now: humans have stealth, ambush, protector, distract, and cripple. Shadow has: thorns, stoneskin, DD, card draw, and regeneration.

Now, I am a fan of sharing certain abilities...haste and protector are good examples...but I am a staunch believer in keeping certain powers unique. MTG all the way (ironically, haste is a fully red ability in MTG, which is weird I'd suggest it to be shared here...)
