I have no clue
what to say about this card that hasn't already
been said. It's just good. You can get fatties
out cheap. You can get fatties out of the deck.
You can do both if you have the mana to. This
card has started making it's face known and it's
probably going to be around for quite a while.

Tooth and Nail
Tooth and Nail does the heavy lifting of
providing the win condition to many combo decks.
In limited, when you are less likely to be able
to cast this card with Entwine, the value of
Tooth and Nail goes down. However, if you’re
playing a lot of green in your limited deck,
chances are your deck will have the mana base
and large creatures that make Tooth and Nail
well worth playing. In limited, simply gaining
access, without Entwine, to your deck’s best two
creatures is often good enough.

Tooth And Nail
Who would have thought that such a fun card
could become such a tournament level card? This
card is incredibly mana intensive, but fun to
play. Now that we have Eternal Witness, the card
even has Buyback, so to speak. This is probably
one of the most fun cards to come out of the
format.

Tooth and Nail
Obviously, this has made quite the impact on
constructed; however, this really wouldn’t stand
up without the ability to accelerate to large
amounts of mana through Cloudposts or Urza’s
lands. This hurts it, but it’s still a powerful
card.
Being able to search up your favorite creatures
in your deck makes for a lot of fun in general;
being able to put them into play as well is even
better. It might be a little better simply
because of the increased availability of
acceleration.
This is pretty mediocre in draft, but can be
nice if your deck sports a number of extremely
expensive creatures; this, unfortunately, has
the side effect of making your deck bad most of
the time. Draft it because it’s playable in
constructed, not because you plan on exploiting
it in your deck.

Tooth and Nail
Ah yes, the main peace of one of the main
rogue decks in Type 2. Generally used to
fetch
Triskelion and/or
Darksteel Colossus. Also in Elf and
Nail, which includes Wood Elves and
Pyroclasm and Vernal Bloom. Although Elves
die fairly fast, so some people are going
back to regular TN, with Cloudpost. Both
have been fairly successful, and I imagine
still will be.
In limited, I havent seen it used much, but
I guess it could be used to fetch your win
condition, though it does cost a lot.

Tooth and Nail --
Whenever a new set comes out, everyone is
scrambling to find out what cards are "broken",
or at least finding out which will be going for
a lot of money later. I missed Tooth and Nail.
Yes, friends, I was actually disappointed that I
got a full set of Tooth and Nail out of two
boxes, and I was actually happy that I received
three Serum Powder.
For those not keeping up with constructed, Tooth
and Nail is one of the two or three "decks to
beat" right now. Utilizing such cards as
Platinum Angel, Darksteel Colossus, and Leonin
Abanus (to protect 'em), Tooth and Nail can
force opponents to find an answer quick or go
down in the onslaught of big men. Tooth and Nail
screams "Casual Player!", too -- who doesn't
want an easy way to get B.F.M. or Akroma, Angel
of Wrath or Serra Avatar into play? In limited,
Tooth and Nail takes somewhat of a hit, but it
still might be a solid card if you have a high
number of expensive creatures.
