Amber & Sapphire is the fastest playing of the two Rise of the Floodborn decks and a bit more aggressive, which is why we feel its more suited to beginner players
We also run powerful support cards to close out games like Chandra's Incinerator turning all ping damage into creature removal, Laelia, the Blade Reforged growing into an enormous threat with Ob's exile draw, turning Ob into a 1-shotter with Temur Battle Rage, and protecting him from removal with tons of cards like Armor of Shadows
There are lots of ways to make a good MDFC, like its power, flavor, or design
That can save your bacon in many scenarios
Like most Magic: The Gathering cards, the value of Traveling Chocobo depends on a few consistent factors: its rarity, the printing and finish (regular or foil), its physical condition, and the set it was printed in (Final Fantasy)
for the other cards in this Lorwyn cycle, you can also snag Elves, Giants, Merfolk, and Goblins
