Embodiment of SpringUCreature - Elemental1G, T: Sacrifice Embodiment of Spring: Search your library for a basic land card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.
Arel dreamed of winter's end. The next morning she followed a strange trail and found a seedling in the snow.
Colour me unimpressed. T2 at the earliest, needs to tap, and you already need two colours of mana before it'll get you anything. I suppose a big butt T1 makes the vanilla test, but it's really not very exciting.

We can dream haha. I know the card in question isn't super good, but commons sometimes are powerful and/or format defining

I mean...It's basically just as good as Rampant Growth on the first couple turns. The only real downside is that you can't play Elvish Mystic on T1 into this. I think this will see play in limited as long as you're in the colors, and I think it would see construcuted play if there weren't already so many good mana dorks.

Ya'll bitches need some enlightening here. LEt me tell you why!
- This card helps mana fix.
- This card helps get your fatties out a turn earlier by ramping.
- Most importantly, this card is playedd turn one to shut down any quick aggro strategies. After it has done it's job for a couple turns you can then sac to ramp. That way, you can get the creatures that cost a lot, out a turn early. It encourages a heavy midrange strategy which is expected fr0m the temr=ur! not bad i say

So it's another Sakura-Tribe Elder but just slightly worse? Not bad.

Sakura-Tribe Elder is slightly better because you can chump attack with it and sacrifice it when needed, whereas you need to tap to sacrifice Embodiment of Spring. However, I can still see this as being played some.

You can also sac Sakura-Tribe Elder the turn it comes out - or chump block that turn and sac it, while with the Embodiment, you have to have it hang around until your next upkeep. That makes a big difference, IMO.

It's a common. Why would it do anything good?
