Ugh, fine. Apparently because some people can't figure out the simple rule to have different passes on different sites I am forced to join my twitch and M:TGsalvation accounts. All this does is do it so that if Twitch is hacked, they get access to all our different account. It will not make us safer, it will only make Twitch a bigger target.
But fine, whatever.
Or you know, scry then activate. It's not particularly hard to get three from it.
I could see myself putting a copy in Aminatou.
Not being able to be targeted by your opponent makes it better, even if it does enter tapped (which is easy to get around). I will be getting at least one, preferably four, but at least one so I have a copy for my Windgrace deck.
Then Pirates is the second, either way he is still correct about there being two.
The more I look at the card, the more I like it. A good include in any blue deck that needs more card drawing and/or evasion.
Now maybe the dinosaur haters will stop complaining. Nah, they'll never stop complaining.
Seriously, nice to see the pirates get a little love with a pirate that is not just a playable uncommon, but a really good one at that. I like it.
Sacrifice something with a leave plays ability (or a token) and remove a large threat, then when it dies, reanimate a creature with a come into play ability.
All, in all, a 7 out of 10.
Yes. This costs 1 more, and you need to chose one color. Both are good in different decks. This is much better in monocolor, Dryad is better in three+ color decks.
Roil won't stop until the land is healed, plus there's a lot of leftover corruption from the Eldrazi, such as the Vampires. There's what, three dead continents on Zendikar that need to regain life?
As for the card itself. I can see myself building an elemental themed commander deck around it with a decent amount of ramp to hit those eight lands ASAP.
It's pretty much a great card with any copy shenanigans.
If your opponent taps out when you have erratic portal out, they're bad MTG players. Erratic Portal was primarily used to bounce your own stuff when it was legal in standard/extended.
