Thankfully, even if the flavor makes no sense, the art on this card is very pretty at least
While it does compete with cards like Merfolk Secretkeeper and Wall of Lost Thoughts, Ruin Crab edges them out thanks to its landfall ability
Both of these Locations don't have a unique ability, but they ease the player into using them by being cheap, ink cost-wise, while also gaining you one lore at the start of your turn, so long as the locations stay on the field

As Im writing this piece, 4/8 decks in the last MTGO PTQ were almost the same 75 of Grixis Shadow A true proof of how good this card is in the right deck
Unlike SCG, which can say were charging $10 for this card and thats that, the TCG price on newer cards just keeps dropping and dropping, often until its nearly at parity with buylist prices
