you can return a land to your hand

This comment was full of fail. Ghost Quarter is not Standard legal, and it allows your opponent to search up a basic. Hooray! You just lost a land, activated Steppe Lynx's landfall, and got yourself disqualified for the low, low price of one Ghost Quarter! You get the "Worst Tech Ever" trophy!

@iVindicate oh. Sorry I'm quite new myself lol

@KingWhoShallReturn At 7 land in a green deck with white in there already, no sir it is not hard to hit double white.

[KingWhoShallReturn]

@SirThrun Kind of. It really should stay in lomited, but it is still a very cool card. I wouldn't run it with green though, as it's sometimes tricky to get out double white.

is elesh norn the grand cenobite a 4/7 legendary creature with vigalence with the effect that while it is on the field it adds +2 +2 to your creatures and takes -2 -2 from opponents creatures a good card because i have one in my green white deeck

@SaLlYMaEpRoPsOn From playtesting myself... I like Ajani better than Elspeth in WW. Ajani plays like 3 honor of the pures, followed by more every other turn and combos with the Skyfisher. Elspeth does builds up to that nasty ultimate... but if you're playing WW, even if you pull off the ultimate your opponent will win. A bunch of indestructible 1/1s or 2/2s fares no match against Tramplers, Fliers, or Mill decks. You need a nasty creature to take advantage of Elspeth.

[dragontamer]

@zakv91 Skyfisher is a very good WW card BECAUSE of its "drawback". You play it like a self-bounce that happens to give you a creature. For example, you pickup your ORings and pin down another creature. Or you pick up the allies and play him again. Or you pick up Knight of the White Orchid and gain another land. Or you pickup Ajani when he's at 1 loyalty and play him again at 4 loyalty. Or pickup the Hookmaster. Or pickup Devout Lightcaster and kill another black. The 2/3 flying is just a bonus.

Lol at 1:13, I don't know if it was just a mix up, or if he thinks that orchid is pronounced like Orchard :P

@wooddabers

That's why you don't overextend against RDW or UW control.
