This journey is finished, but the adventure with #MTGxLOTR's continues! the Magic: The Gather official Twitter account said Friday
This is a very good card
A connection to one of the most iconic settings in Magic: Ravnica
Commander players love the card since it becomes much easier to accelerate out permanents of all other eight nonland card types, with the exception of maybe Battles, since theyre a little more unique than other card types
In fact, the mix of old and new, the references and in-jokes, and the balance of genuinely exciting new cards with Draft fodder could well mean this is one of the greatest Magic: The Gathering sets in the last few years
To go other routes for draw, I would consider including Grothama, All-Devouring to attack/fight/"sac" a bunch of "excess" creatures for draw, or Skullmulcher does similar in a pure sac way, or perhaps Ohran Frostfang, Regal Force, Toski, Bearer of Secrets, Benefactor's Draught, Mind's Eye, War Room, and while Nissa, Voice of Zendikar is off the Elf theme, it's still effective for more than draw
