The gnome tokens aren't evasive tho, they're just slightly more complicated 1/1s. I feel like the two differences between anim and rabble are:
Rabble essentially has haste
Anim has more choices for the player

Whether that's good or bad is up for debate ofc

I feel like specifically here it's fair to compare anim pakal to a much more similar and iconic card: goblin rabblemaster. Rabblemaster is a much more boardstate agnostic version of the effect, that without asking anything continues to apply pressure.

Another case would be where you go 2 drop and it gets removed with a sorcery, and then drop alesha. The current day attack triggers make creatures lots better on established boards, while sanding off the leeroy Jenkins edges of strong hasty threats

The difference would be very pronounced after a wrath. Hypothetical haste alesha immediately rebuilds a board post-wipe, whereas alesha as printed does give time.

I have an issue with saying they should give things haste, and it's that haste makes the attack triggers less interactive when removal isn't instant speed. Current alesha on an empty board gives opportunity to respond, an alesha with haste would mean they get the value regardless

The meaning I kinda derived after changing the name is that games can be so attrition-based that you end up feeling like you're trying to pick up the chair πŸ’Ί

So the honest answer is I wanted to rebrand my cube to not just be "snowtorch's cube" with some vague words about tempo or midrange. Ended up referencing a 12 year old video I like. Any meaning is added after the fact, it started as a dumb inside joke with myself
