What was the problem with forestwalking Dryads? They're more fantasy based, and interesting, than deer.

I'm troubled by the lack of dryads in this set. Is Wizards taking a new, tough stance against scantily clad wood nymphs? Unthinkable.

We need inefficient antelope because? Dryads are far more flavorful and wasn't that the entire objective of this set?

I would gradly pay 3Green for 3/2 Forestwalk but never for a 2/3...

Would be more playable and flavorful if it had a landwalk ability that green seldom gets and fits antelopes more then dryads. Like Mountainwalk. Or Plainswalk.
And the core set should allways have a 1 or 2 mana Forestwalking dryad.

Excellent... more fuel for the Gaea's Liege superstar squadron.

I like the artwork, and the flavor text is nice. I don't really care that it isn't a Dryad... I've seen a billion of them. Nice to have something different.

Clearly not an every-deck card, situational.

2.5/5

What kind of person lets someone like MasterOfEtherium neart a computer? Seriously.

I agree with most posters- dryads are more flavourful than deer, hands down. Hope they correct it for the next core set.

I literally burst out laughing reading Master of Etherium's comment. Half of me wants to disagree with him, but the other half really likes the idea that Magic players hate real-world animals because they never go outside. Also, this is the only place in the world where a debate on the merits of dryads vs. antelopes could form.

I'm beginning to think Master of Etherium is an Internet character actor - a normal person playing the role of a troll. Every forum I've been on has at least one of those.

Elite Cat Warrior outclasses this in every way.

Emerald bones is kind of metal. Kind of fairy-metal, but still pretty metal.
