Ranger of Eos
Ranger of Eos raises some unusual deckbuilding
questions for a midrange creature. By the time
you can cast him, one-mana creatures might not
measure up to what's on the table. That in
itself probably encourages you to look at cards
like Figure of Destiny or Student of Warfare,
but even without chase options like that, I
wouldn't necessarily get too hung up on the
conditions attached to his ability. Aggressive
decks sometimes have trouble with running out of
cards and options, and anything that helps with
that is well worth playing.

Ranger of Eos (3/29)
The power of Ranger of Eos
is, of course, its coming into play ability. The
ability to dig out two creatures with converted
mana cost 1 or 0 is deceptively powerful, since
a lot of the most notorious enablers cost 1 mana
(like Viscera Seer). It's also in white, a color
with weak search options a lot of the time,
which makes it a more effective tool.
Ranger of Eos is a card
that slots into specific builds. Not every deck
will want one, but ones with a lot of cheap
creatures will have a nice home for it.
