A 2/1 with no immediate value needs an already-developed board before it grows; Modern Boros Aggro is unlikely to want such a delayed payoff.

Could be wrong if An unusually creature-dense white aggro shell could make the power-eight trigger reliable by turn three.

Legacy's efficient creatures and interaction leave little room for a vulnerable 2/1 that needs repeated combat and a wide board to matter.

Could be wrong if A successful low-curve Boros list could value its eventual vigilance and repeatable growth more than expected.

It is a slow, Bolt-vulnerable 2/1 whose counter requires a broad board; no supplied Pauper shell makes that payoff compelling.

Could be wrong if A new white creature strategy could reliably reach eight power early and use the untap as meaningful combat defense.

Human decks can meet eight power easily, but one counter per combat on an unevasive 2/1 is highly replaceable in optimized multiplayer lists.

Could be wrong if Additional Human or +1/+1-counter synergies in the set could make its type and repeated counters matter more.

A two-drop that can grow every attack and untap is a solid creature-board payoff, though its 1 toughness and power-eight condition keep it from premium status.

Could be wrong if Unknown draft speed, creature sizing, and white's ability to build boards could move it from filler to a strong aggro pick.
