<DIV>Unnatural Selection</DIV>
<DIV>1U</DIV>
<DIV>Enchantment</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>1: Choose a creature type other than Wall. Target</DIV>
<DIV>creature's type becomes that type until end of turn.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>At first glance, some unseasoned players - such as I -</DIV>
<DIV>may look at this card and wonder "What? No shiny</DIV>
<DIV>things? Just a change of type? Junk rare. ::opens</DIV>
<DIV>another booster pack::"
  <p>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>But wait.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Unnatural Selection has *so* many uses, it's not even</DIV>
<DIV>funny. For starters, it's got a lesser-known use -</DIV>
<DIV>changing creatures to Legends. If your opponent has,</DIV>
<DIV>say, 2 or 3 Avatars of Fury out, then changing them</DIV>
<DIV>all to Legends, under the Legend rule, would cause all</DIV>
<DIV>but one to be killed off. For 2 colorless, that's not</DIV>
<DIV>bad at all. A bit situational, you say? Let's continue</DIV>
<DIV>with the combos.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Empress Galina</DIV>
<DIV>3UU</DIV>
<DIV>Creature - Legend</DIV>
<DIV>1/3</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>UU, Tap: Gain control of target Legend or legendary</DIV>
<DIV>permanent.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Oh, man. Once you actually get her and Selection out,</DIV>
<DIV>just make a creature a Legend, use Galina and you've</DIV>
<DIV>got a Control Magic for 1UU working every single turn.</DIV>
<DIV>Now that's power. And a 1/3 isn't bad, especially</DIV>
<DIV>since with a combo like this, you'd expect a 1/1.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Selection can help you with others, too, like</DIV>
<DIV>Shoreline Raider (a 2/2 Merfolk with protection from</DIV>
<DIV>Kavu for 2U) and Coastal Drake (a 2/1 flier for 2U</DIV>
<DIV>that can return a Kavu to hand for 1U). Here's a</DIV>
<DIV>sample deck I threw together and will playtest soon...</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>3 Tidal Visionary</DIV>
<DIV>3 Fact or Fiction</DIV>
<DIV>4 Accumulated Knowledge</DIV>
<DIV>4 Empress Galina</DIV>
<DIV>3 Coastal Drake</DIV>
<DIV>3 Thwart</DIV>
<DIV>3 Foil</DIV>
<DIV>4 Counterspell</DIV>
<DIV>4 Unnatural Selection</DIV>
<DIV>3 Shoreline Raider</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>4 Saprazzan Skerry</DIV>
<DIV>22 Island</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>This's very rough, but it could work!</DIV>&nbsp;
