Mini-tutor for
creatures. I'm not all that down with this in
constructed - it doesn't really do enough for me to
justify it. In limited, though, I will play it
most times. If you're creature stalled, you
can often go find one for one little green mana.
I wish it were an instant, but I'll take it.
Will usually make the cut, but it cutable if the
deck is amazing.

Well, this is sorta
interesting, I suppose. Commune allows you
to grab creatures from your deck, and for only 1
mana. At least the price is right.
While most likely not tournament fare, this could
be a fun way to grab what you need from your deck,
creature-wise.
In limited, this is a
solid card, and if you're going green and want to
get to your fatties fast, this will speed things
up.

OK. If you were really, really desperate for a
specific creature NOW, I can see why you would
play this. So it's decent in limited, where it
can get your bomb. Competitive constructed decks
are usually much too tightly tuned for this to
fit in.
In casual, maybe. I'd rather have regular card
draw though.

Commune with Nature
In Champions of Kamigawa, green is the only color
with creature help in
early game mana development. Commune with Nature
on turn one can help you
find the mana producing creature you want to play
on turn two. This card is
another example of the kind of "small card" that
can play an important role
in a limited (and possibly constructed) deck even
though the power level of
Commune with Nature is not very high all by
itself.

This is one of my favorite new limited cards by
far. No matter when you draw this card in the
game, it’s good to cast, helping you find the next
creature in your curve or plan out your future
turns. It also lets you know what you won’t be
drawing, since you have to put four of those cards
on the bottom your deck, so you can plan on that
as well. All in all, this is a really solid
limited card, and a great casual card as well.

I know others may not agree with my assessment of
this card, but I think it's great. There are a lot
of times that the green player ants to sift
through a few cards looking for something. This
gives them that option. If you are playing a
multicolor deck, you can get a lot of great
choices...Man-o-war, Flametongue Kavu, or even
Viridian Shaman.
Casual players will love it, because they can
search for their fatty or dragon now. So far this
card looks promising. With it's cheap casting
cost, it will probably find its way into more
extended and type one decks than people are
expecting at this point.

Commune With Nature --
I'm a fan of this card right now, and I'm not sure
why. If you are playing green, and you are playing
a lot of creatures, then this seems worthwhile.
Don't have a dude for this turn? Tutor one up.
Want a better dude? Try to tutor one up. It's
nothing spectacular, but the price is right, and
you can usually get *some* benefit out of it.
In limited, I will definitely play this card if
I'm in green. The opportunity to make the most of
my turn is nothing I'm going to pass up.

I'm a bigger fan than most of this card, I think.
Impulsing for a creature
is just fine, and in a limited environment with
few good 1 drops, this
smooths out your draw on turn 1 very nicely, and
later on helps you dig up
your bomb legend.
