Why its a contender: This is the most efficient card-drawing spell ever printed, providing a massive resource advantage for a single mana
The extent to which these were printed is dubious, although I recall hearing the print run was less than one out of every 1,000 packs
Other common plot and setting themes include the Gaia hypothesis, an apocalypse, the heroes' defiance against fate and the gods, and conflicts between advanced technology and nature
Understanding card advantage in EDH doesnt require a calculator or an advanced degree in mathematicsjust keep these rules in mind
Between this and the fact that blacks best mana ramp spells only tend to thrive in specific niches of the Commander format, such as cEDH, mono and two color black decks, combo decks, and/or builds with reliable access to Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, theres really no way to rank these cards
[25] If you enter this phase with 8 or more cards, the active player discards cards until their hand is 7 cards again
