I still want lava boats, and I think the strider is quite ugly.

YOU CALL THE STRIDER UGLY HE SHALL HAVE WRATH

No match for me and my army of adorable foxes...

I’ll summon a ton of wardens.

Your wolves will die then. Also, I'll just use /kill.

A friendly new rideable mob found in the Nether is way cooler and far less difficult to control than some wooden boat that somehow doesn’t catch on fire.

I will keep spawning wardens until you surrender.

If I spawn an army of untamed wolves they would attack your fox army.

I'll get a swarm of creepers too.

I find the strider cute but that’s my opinion
