Todays CoTD is the very beneficial Energy Stream!
For 3 mana you draw 2 cards, now thats what I call
drawing power! Energy Stream does what the water
civilization does best - DRAW, and has to be one of
my most cherished cards simply for the advantage
that comes with it. Casting Stream itself would be
-1 advantage but drawing 2 would give you an overall
advantage of
+1 and more important, more options! I love
topdecking this card right
+off the top when my opponent has just Lost Souled
me or when I just simply ran out of cards in my hand
xD You'll be sure to find this card in any deck that
runs the water because its basically a staple. And
If you don't have a playset already, go out and get
one! You won't be disappointed ^.^
Limited - 5/5 - this card is just tooooo good to
pass up Constructed - 5/5 - ditto
Until next time,

Energy Stream
has been showing up in quite a few decks lately.
There is no doubt that Energy Stream is good, but
it’s really very vanilla. You pay three mana and you
draw two cards, that’s it, no bells, no whistles.
In comparison to other draw spells, I would say that
is better than Brain Serum in most cases, since the
chances of Brain Serum showing up as a shield
trigger aren’t the greatest, and the added cost is
obviously making Serum worse than Energy Stream.
Submarine Project can be situational better than
Energy Stream if you really need to dig through your
deck to find that last card to put you over the top,
but you still aren’t getting any real card advantage
out of Submarine Project, just card replacement.
Aqua Hulcus is also a contender for the three
casting cost slot, and while it merely replaces
itself, you do get a creature, albeit a weak one. So
while good, there are a lot of alternatives that can
work just as well as Energy Stream.

This card rocks, plain and simple.
Energy Stream is like Brain Serum,
except that isn't a shield trigger and is
cheaper in Mana cost. Who knows, those cards
(or one of them) could be the game winning
card. This card and Brain Serum have given
me the game- winning card every time I have
played it. I highly recommend that this card
go into your deck.
Pros:
Cheaper than Brain Serum
Draw 2 extra cards
Cons:
Brain Serum is a shied trigger.

OK, turn 3 is Hulcus turn, and this does the same
job, except 1 more card. IMO, Hulcus is better. If
draw power is needed, then I suggest Brain Serum
instead.
Sorry about the short review, but I just can;t think
of anything else to say...
