Do you guys remember Teferi, from Time Spiral? I
don't blame you if you don't; that was getting
to be a long time ago now. A friend of mine
still refers to that guy as "Teferi the BS
planeswalker," despite the fact he was printed
with the type "creature." He was basically the
best creature in the block, and that was in a
time you had to bend your manabase to get other
creatures in the deck that would really
devastate people when cast with flash. Yeva . .
. well, to be honest, I like her a lot better if
solely because of the fact that she's bringing
this ability to the "right" color; but it's also
a fact that you don't have to bend your manabase
anywhere near as much if you want to flash-cast
creatures like Acidic Slime and Thragtusk and
Huntmaster of the Fells and Sigarda and Loxodon
Hierarch and Vigor and Silklash Spider and
Thornscape Battlemage and you get the idea. She
changes the game at least as much as Teferi did,
and arguably gives green a bigger boost in the
current environment than Rancor. Yes, really.
Welcome back readers todays card of the day
Yeva Natures Herald an extremely powerful green
creature. In standard being able to drop threats
at instant speed and play around what little
countermagic that exists in the format makes it
an incredibly strong card the fact it is a 4/4
all by itself means it’s not irrelevant and
can be a powerful tool in the powerful emerging
aggressive red and green decks. In modern
flashing in a Tarmogoyf could be quite powerful
and having access to some of the most powerful
green creatures from across multiple sets
definitely means this card will find a home. In
legacy and vintage I feel elf decks are
positioned to take advantage of this card as it
allows you to cast Elvish Visionary’s on
opponent’s turns and allowing you to deploy all
sorts of cards at instant speed. In casual and
multiplayer every legendary creature is a
potential commander but this one is more
powerful thn others giving green a way to flash
in creatures to act as creature destruction,
play around blue decks and provide a lot of
combo interactions making it quite powerful.
Otherwise it provides a powerful threat and
allows you to never tap out on your turn which
is important in multiplayer. In limited its
solid and if you get enough creatures it can be
quite powerful providing a powerful effect and a
solid body. Overall a homerun card that provides
a powerful tool for tournament and kitchen table
players.
Today's card of the day is Yeva, Nature's
Herald which is a four mana
4/4 Green Legendary elf with Flash that allows
you to play all of your Green creatures as if
they had Flash. This is a card with
serious potential and definitely an enjoyable
one to play as it drastically alters the way
Green can operate in a given game. Playing
creatures at the end step of your opponent's
turn or in response to a declared attack offers
improved survival and removal to a color with
few options in those areas. As an elf she
does well in a theme deck, but can be used in
just about any mono-Green build with creatures
that can either impact the battlefield when they
come into play or when blocking.
For Limited a 4/4 for four is a solid card, add
in Flash with the ability granted to your other
creatures and you have a first pick that can be
a powerful support card and offensive or
defensive threat. The double Green is
manageable and even without other creatures the
4/4 is durable against most creatures or burn
and should be one of the better choices to fill
in the mana curve in Sealed. There is no
real drawback to playing Yeva in the format and
even the option of playing creatures on your
opponent's turn will likely have a psychological
impact whenever you have a card in hand.
Welcome to another
card of the day review right here at Pojo.com!
Today we are taking a look at Yeva, Nature’s
Herald from M13. Yeva, Nature’s Herald is a rare
legendary green creature elf shaman that costs
two generic and two green mana and is a 4/4.
Yeva has flash and says that you may cast green
creatures cards as though they had flash.
Yeva is one of the five legendary creatures
that was printed in the M13 set. While she is
definitely one of the better ones, she is not
the best in my opinion, but can certainly change
the game tempo. Now your opponent will never
know what lies behind untapped mana. Spells, or
instant blockers. Hard to properly plan a move
with the potential of some big creature landing
in the way. And at a 4/4 herself, with flash,
she can enter the battlefield as such a
surprise, and should mana allow, even bring a
friend.
