Land attack: What do I do with gargoyle castle? Features

2009 December 16 by mattlohkamp

In the current standard environment, Gargoyle Castle is the only card of its kind: a land that gives you a creature... but you get to the point where you've got 5 other mana available, and you ask yourself - why would I want to turn my colourless land into a gargoyle artifact creature?

More than 'Naturalize' Features

2009 August 03 by mattlohkamp

If you're a default-sort-of-person, you may want to opt for Naturalize: it's hard to beat artifact/enchantment destruction at instant speed for 1G. Or is it? If you're like me, you may find yourself drawn to the other, more exotic solutions that green has to offer for artifact/enchantment removal.

The Standard Green Land-Grab Triumvirate Features

2009 July 27 by mattlohkamp
