MTG Salvation

Bigger, more costly mutavault. Not sure how I feel about it.

I'm in the same boat as you. I want to like it as its any land but the 2 mana and exiling a land seems so steep. maybe in modern? maybe if they bring back fetches in ixalan? who knows.

Yeah Modern seems like the place, but lists that could use this because they have a lot of fetches also generally run lots of colors. Colorless manlands aren't very good in those sort of lists.

But unlike all colour man lands who, to my knowledge, enter the battlefield tapped, these colourless ones enter untapped. Mutavault will still be chosen over this in decks that care for creature types, like Merfolk, but it's nice to have an alternative for if the creature type doesn't matter.

Standard unplayable but Modern or Legacy it could be good. This is quite limited in how many uses you get though but for decks that don't care about creature type this seems enough of an upgrade over mutavault. It especially seems good for a deck like burn where the extra power and being immune to bolt is pretty damn good. Getting limited attacks with it is not a big problem then.

Kinda wants to be played in a deck that isn't vulnerable to gravehate or doesn't use generic gravehate itself.

idk "limited", in modern most deck lists run 7-12 fetched, seems like more than enough. And it legacy+ they play 7-12 fetches plus usually Wasteland or Strip Mine. I think it should see 1 of play in a lot of decks outside of standard just because of the sheer volume of fetches and such being played. Plus it survives bolt.

This isnt horrible. Will go in my Delirium deck, along with Ramunap Excavator.

Too bad it doesn't say "exile a permanent" or something to that effect. As-is, I'm sure Modern/Legacy will be interested to try it out. For Standard, it is a little more niche, but could be a catchy 1-2 of in a few decks. Could make Drake Haven decks a little better?
