If you’ve played enchantress decks before, you know how many cards you draw once you get going, and being able to accompany each of those enchantments entering with another land from your hand is going to make your deck that much faster. Having access to this with cards like Sythis, Harvest’s Hand in the command zone means you cast an enchantment, draw a card, the enchantment enters, and you can play a land from your hand. Being able to cheat out lands from your hand means you’ll have less moments where you’re investing your mana into enchantress-related draw effects and then run out of gas. Note how it triggers on enchantments entering the battlefield, not casting them, just like Archon of Sun’s Grace and Setessan Champion. Maybe that’s a card design for the future? A creature that steals all your non ‘tap for mana’ artifacts for a turn upon activation, something to fill the gap in between Treasure Nabber and Hellkite Tyrant.Įxxaxl: This to me seems like one of the strongest new cards printed in CMM. If only it saw any and all artifact activations so you could steal your opponents Ashnod’s Altar or Sword of the Animist. Even if you only get a single use out of a Chromatic Lantern or Fellwar Stone, that still means you were able to spend mana ahead of your expected curve. Mana rocks that are now mine, for one turn. Everyone is going to be color fixing and ramping and most of that will happen through mana rocks, if people don’t have access to green. I wouldn’t hesitate playing this card in CMM Limited. Relying on your opponents to ‘have something useful’ will always be situational and suboptimal, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun and lead to some weird lines of play you didn’t plan for. Exxaxl: At one point I played a Krenko, Mob Boss deck where I threw this card in as a joke, and it made for some weird game states where upon starting my turn, I had access to two Sol Rings, a Fellwar Stone, and an Arcane Signet that weren’t mine.
