Stalking Stones is a land early, and late game
when you probably don't need the extra mana, it's
a creature. Plus, as a land, it's uncounterable...a
nice feature. Since it has no color
requirements, it can fit in almost any deck.
In limited, it's a
definite inclusion because of it's versatility. A
fairly early pick.

One of the rumored
reprints for Mirrodin, this is a land that taps
for a colorless, but if you have 6 mana to
spare, you can make this a 3/3 creature
permanently. This is good for a control deck, as
they can have this for mana, and when they
finally get the spare mana, they can have their
kill mechanism.
In limited, it's
just as good, for the same reasons. And it's
colorless, so anyone can play it.

Stalking Stones is a
less powerful Mishra's Factory and almost as good.
Not a bad pick in powerful control decks or as
extra creature power/Wrath avoidance in Stompy
builds.
Constructed - Solid
but not amazing - 2. 75
Limited - More
creatures can always be good - 2.85 |

Stalking Stones
Back in the days of Tempest, a few used these in
their blue control decks
allowing for wrath of gods or other creature
casting manipulation to let the
Stones slip through under the radar. Though a
good enough card on its own,
I personally don't have much need for a land that
requires 6 mana to make it
into a 3/3. Since it is STILL a land that produces
colorless mana until its
ready, the card is on average a good card, but the
fact that the 3/3 is
permentant is a hinderance in my opinion. Land
creature conversion cards
such as Treetop Village or Nantuko Monestary do it
better. The fact that
they only last until end of turn is a bonus in my
book.
But we'll have to see. There are rumors that
Stalking Stones will be
re-printed in Mirrodin. Being the only land
creature converter in Type II
might allow it to see some play.
In limited, its a better card though. Its mana
early, and a creature later
on. No real complaints.
Constructed: 3.0
Limited: 3.6 |

I hear this guy's making a comeback, which will be
cool. I think he's a bit
more balanced than the other man-lands
*cough*treetop*cough*, and he's
still got his place in control decks, or as a
potential main deck answer to
protection creatures for mono-red. In limited,
any time a land is still
useful when you're land flooded, it will get
played automatically.
