amazing cards back in those days. Even today, my beginner mono blue deck has Air Elemental for teaching newbies on blue flying creatures.Legend wrote: ↑1 year agoGot my ass whooped by a Waterspout Djinn in a mirror match (MUC), in the finals of a 24 player Extended tournament back in late '97. My first ever. Not quite a mirror since my opponent had Tradewind Rider and Waterspouts. Can't quite remember for sure what I had in those slots. I think Air Elemental and Serendib Efreet. Fun memory.

Decklist
Approximate Total Cost:
Not very original even back then. Thoroughly meta yet had no sideboard. I didn't yet understand what they're for. What's your blue starter deck list?

Green pinging! Seeing the old wording reminds me of how contemporary "any target" wording was merely a return to the Alpha wording. It's almost like Garfield knew what he was doing.

Why it is a Golem and not a Chimera? It could also make a Bird, Soldier and Ox/Beast on death trigger. It was for Commander and rare, so the complexity should not be a problem and some random Tribal is always in high demand. There were even preprinted tokens coming with it, so what stopped Wizards?
Busted.

my mono u deck is more gentle, I keep it in a box, along with other mono colored decks, to help teach beginners on what each color can do.
the decks are on this thread. viewtopic.php?t=15469 Probably better if you reply there if you want to keep the conversation going. So that we don't derail Rabidvacin's thread.

The gold standard one-mana card in self-mill. (Okay, and Stitcher's Supplier.)

Maybe one of the best ever one-drop creatures? It's a red Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration that legitimately fixes your draws.

I like the oddly simple name here, but this is worse in multiple ways than multiple things. Bleh.

i never really buy humans as vanilla creatures, like... no abilities? this person has never learnt to do anything at all? you're showing me a civilized humanoid with no interests? you could have an odyssey-appropriate ", : Put the top card of your library into your graveyard." and still have room for the same flavour text in a less weirdly justified format (and if not, well, trinket text is flavour text!) and it wouldn't be op or overloaded for a common at all... odyssey in a lot of ways is one of the last bastions of underdesigned cards and ones which don't do enough for their casting cost; this one in particular even regresses from Rime Dryad! of course, not every card need be crammed to breaking point with power but what is the intended use of woodland druid? what if you don't get passed Seton and you really just have this useless guy who offers you no tactical advantage at any point in most limited games?
woodland druid
Creature - Human Druid (U)
Abilities of lands you control called Timberland Ruins cost "Sacrifice Timberland Ruins" less to activate.
What is a tree? I have never heard of them.
1/2
wOoDlAnD dRuId
Creature - Human Druid (R)
While there are at least fifteen cards in your graveyard, power and toughness bonuses from the Threshold abilities of green creatures you control apply twice.
What is a tree? Stoicism manifest, and what is a flower but a show of sympathy? Then what's a druid? An ability-bereft dude with a beard.

Angelic Page's flying makes it simply more interesting than Anointer of Champions.
