The box arts journey motif makes it a shelf standout
Jeremy Jarvis, Magic 's art director ( Future Sight was the first set that he was fully in charge of the art), came to me and asked if I could include a land cycle for this art
For example, Sorcerous Squall's mana value is 9 even if you exiled three cards to cast it
And if you really want to break things, play Ashaya, Soul of the Wild to turn every creature into a land, making them infinitely recastable
Its not as powerful as it was last year, but its still a solid competitor
However, if you get the card a few aggressive hot breaths or over steam (without actually touching the liquid vapors) then that might be a poor mans way of doing it, lol
