TURD

the interesting thing about this card is in its 3 different artworks, only one dryad is shown.

I suppose that it's better than a vanilla 1/1 for G, but it's no Savannah Lions...but then again, it's also not supposed to find its way into a white weenie deck...

Sideboard Card.

scryb sprites seems to have always been the better choice. After all, against green, flying is basically unblockable anyway

For a creature that's undetectable in woodland areas, this card sure has gotten less and less stealthy with each iteration.

First art: Vaguely lady-shaped tree
Second art: Green Mystique
This: Floating sparkly naked woman

The only way I can imagine this lady having evasion is if this happens:

"All right Bill, the enemy's coming. Stand your ground and be ready for anyth-"
"WHOA! Check out that one!"
"Sweet heavens, what a looker. With all the time I've spent out alone in this forest, a guy could really..."
"Oh, she's leaving. Dang, I'm gonna be thinking about her for weeks."
...
"Hey Jim... weren't we supposed to block?"

When she dances, seeds aren't the only thing that'll be sprouting, if you know what I mean. ;)

@MisterAction
lol so true.

And she has returned to being a Nymph. Only this time, it's in addition to being a Dryad, not instead of being a Dryad.

Wizards' far-sighted creature type choice strikes again, finally giving us other Nympths in Theros, being
Observant Alseid, Nimbus Naiad, Cavern Lampad, Spearpoint Oread and Leafcrown Dryad, which even shares both of Shanodin Dryad's types.
