And youre a monster if you play it
Viscerid Drone (Ice Age/Alliances) For all this talk of curve, first turn of creature threshold, and the such, I've not really mentioned Ice Age/Alliances
(Springleaf Drum costs one, and then we can immediately use it to make a mana to gain back the mana that we spend to cast it.) While nowhere near as explosive as Mox Opal, Springleaf Drum still facilitates some explosive starts where we can play a zero-drop like Memnite or Ornithopter on Turn 1, follow it up with Springleaf Drum, tap our summoning-sick zero-drop to make a mana, and then play something like Bomat Courier or Signal Pest, adding three cheap artifacts to the battlefield on Turn 1, which we can then hopefully follow up with a payoff like Arcbound Ravager or Steel Overseer on Turn 2
It costs a whopping eight mana to activate, but if youre making a ton of those Icy Manaliths, that shouldnt be too hard to accomplish
