Hadn't thought of focusing on just lands, but that would work exactly as well in RDW (but not in some mythical red control deck).Jay Treathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428861685923241850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-18044783683583521022013-10-16T17:09:08.379-04:002013-10-16T17:09:08.379-04:00Definitely interesting idea.

Why not just make it "1, discard two cards with the same name: draw two cards".<br /><br />In fact, you're right, it's SO useful with land cards, it would be an interesting card if it said "discard two basic land cards with the same name: draw two cards" and didn't work on any other cards at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-79971146967185348672013-10-16T14:58:18.497-04:002013-10-16T14:58:18.497-04:00Oh, I didn't think too much of the lack of non...Oh, I didn't think too much of the lack of nonland clause in Avant Savant.
