Thoughts on cards I'm interested in cutting
Yeva, Nature's Herald: Everyone is probably aware how much I love casting at instant speed, but it kinda seems like Yeva is a little slow and often irrelevant.
Broodhatch Nantuko: Despite the fun Insect interaction with Grothama, Broodhatch is in a weird space where by the time you can use him you really need to be doing other things. I think if we want this effect at all, Druid's Call is all we need, since when it's attached to a creature we can also engage with our draw engine rather than having to fully commit to the cute token making thing.
Eternal Witness: Is this blatantly incorrect? Maybe, but I feel like we've got a handful of sorceries and instants that do this job better; there's obviously infinite graveyard getting with Selvala/Sabertooth, but we can do better things more easily with that combo.
