Nice mana acceleration! Too bad it accelerates everyone elses instead of yours. Dirtcowl Wurm makes an attempt at saving this awful effect, but the ruling text below says that a spell or ability land-drop doesn't count. Unless a passive effect like this doesn't count as an 'ability'? Anyway, it's just not a good monster. One of the more painful down sides I've seen, and it's on a monster with no saving graces to cover for it.

Maybe for a 2cmc the drawback is worth it other than that there's better 4/4s

Yeah... Emperor is this card's only real playable format. But if you drop it as the emperor, you can rampant growth for your whole team. That's kinda cool.

Wow it doesn't even have to be a basic land...think of the possibilities. Run it with dryad sophisticate! No, still not worth it. I actually am drawn to undercosted creatures with drawbacks, but there are more interesting ones out there than this guy.

Masques has just a few too many 4/4s for 4 mana with a drawback....

If they're going to persuade us to play a creature with that effect they could at least make it more powerful than what other colors consider bad for the same cost. I mean even if they didn't make the card stronger they could've made it look impressive.

Yes, but if you autocard your suggestions maybe more people would say yes.
A rampant growth for your teammates in Emperor you say? Im sorry, but it says "LAND" not "BASIC LAND".
Thats right. You just fetched your teammates Gaea's Cradle and put it into play. Untapped.

Hey, if you have LD in your hand, you can assure yourself a really good target, as your opponent's not going to pass up an opportunity to tutor up his Kessig Wolf Run, Vault of the Archangel, Gavony Township, or whatever other utility lands he's got in there.
