Strictly better than Runeclaw Bear.

Then again, what isn't?

I wouldn't mind meeting her on a forest walk! 5 stars for artwork.

Very nice art on a so-so card. I still like Runeclaw Bear for bear tribal (shut up, it exists!)

Goes claw-to-claw with Grizzlies and gets through without even disturbing them in the first place. Yay strict betterness.

Another fan of the artwork. She's beautiful, but she also looks dangerous and a bit unearthly. Great look for a dryad.

Great pick up in limited.

To understand the value of bears, you gotta know how often you'll get away with this living. When this drops, and is not taken care of, it suddenly becomes a 2/2 for 2 that can deal 4-8 damage. Sounds like a pretty good card eh?

Take these in limited. Put them in your decks. Experience players will of course know better than to let one live too long, but you gotta bank the wins on players that don't have the experience to know when to kill something.

I wouldn't mind taking a walk in her forest.

If you know what I mean.

With art like that, I expect the price on lost in the woods to skyrocket.

Wizards continues its slow, but steady support of Dryad tribal. It's day will come.

Does exactly what it was designed to do, a good drop in limited. Surprising how many cards that can't be said of when you think about it.

It doesn't help that Runeclaw Bear sucks... Now Grizzly Bears on the other hand... But yes amazing art, I love dryads, they're one of my favorite fantasy creatures, hopefully they'll get at least a little support at some point.

There was some other 2/1 forestwalker Dryad for 1G years ago... nice direct improvement to that and Grizzly Bears. Very playable in Limited.

Lol, you even get the search suggestion "Somberwald Dryad Art" in Google.

Unfortunately there's no wallpaper of this pretty piece of artwork from Jaime Jones...yet.
I'm positive we'll get one :D

I'm pretty sure the artist misheard the card name as "Somberwald Prostitute."

A nice upgrade to Rushwood Dryad. Even if the opponent isn't playing green, it's a 2/2 for 2, making it a much higher pick in limited. What deck doesn't need bears?

Just a dumb card to put into limited. The only islandwalker in the entire two sets and if you manage to come up against a green drafter you probably just win.

If Vampire Nighthawk is Batman, then this must be Poison Ivy. I love the artwork, especially in green, you never see someone look so dark and mysterious as her. 5/5 and I dont mind the power and toughness either. For a Grizzly Bear she has Forestwalk and that is strictly better in Standard right now with Forest being a very relevant land type.

Have to drag to folder (other methods render it as an HTML file of gibberish)

Dryads are awesome!

she's got green lips.
the only reason she didn't get a playmat is she's too sexual for kids... oh, wait, chandra. whatever.
