I guess they decided a while ago that Howling
Mine-type effects were abusable, as this is the
first true card of that type we've had since I
think Rites of Flourishing, way back in M12.
Much like with Llanowar Elves, I understand
their argument but I don't agree with it; I
don't want to get sidetracked, though, as I
suspect a lot of us are excited right now about
the fact that this card enables a lot of
interesting direct damage-based strategies in
multiplayer settings where they aren't always
effective. It reminds me very much of the Ebony
Owl Netsuke deck from Kamigawa, in its colors
and in the way it wants to operate: in
multipayer settings, people tend to stock (and
sometimes overstock) up on card-drawing effects
even before you start bouncing everything in
sight.
Constructed: 3/5
Casual: 4/5
Limited: 2/5
Multiplayer: 4/5
EDH/Commander: 4/5
