How Good is Leyline Prowler?
Commander Deck Help forum
Posted on March 2, 2025, 9:22 p.m. by DemonDragonJ
I am contemplating putting Leyline Prowler into several of my EDH decks that contain the colors black and green, replacing a mana rock, since I believe that it would be very beneficial for those decks, but I would like to ask for advice, before I do that, so I am starting this thread, for that reason.
What does everyone else say, about this? How good is Leyline Prowler?
Unless you're also in Blue it's an outright awful card compared to just playing something like Wood Elves to get a land and give you a body. Bonus advice, if I have access to Green I generally play very few mana rocks, Green has great land ramp at low to mid power, and some people happily play Nature's Lore type cards in high power. The reason it's a BIT better in Blue is you could be holding up a counter. Hope this helps!

I think it's a draft card. I think that's where it belongs

Not being combative or silly, just a thought: I think it’d be an include for me. 3cmc is good for a mana rock, a 2/3 deathtouch is solid and easily good enough to counterbalance the fact that you can’t immediately tap it for mana, and lifelink is not always easy to come across in those colors. Add a cool creature type? Even better. I think it’s worthy.

Full disclosure: I usually don’t play mana rocks (I have an aversion to using the giant block of “auto-includes” that make most decks extremely similar) and I’m too lazy to tutor more than MAYBE once… so (as always) my takes on here are generally a little suspect ;p

Not very. He's expensive for a Mana dork and dies to any board wipe.
The nightmare may be good if you only occasionally need the mana, allowing for a deathtouch deterant (with deathtouch completely irrelevant if you use the mana on your turn). It's niche at best.
