Does it mean "T...Huh, that's interesting.<br /><br />Does it mean "The first time you draw a card each turn, if it's a land, you may exile it?" If not, and your second draw is a land, how do you prove your first one wasn't?<br /><br />I'm not sure how to evaluate the extra ability. It lets you replace quite a lot of unwanted draws, that seems like it may be way too strong. But maybe it often happens too late to matter?Jack (cartesiandaemon)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08258267965242039995noreply@blogger.com
