So glad they made this a Nomad.

Looks like a traveling party. I'm only imagining the look of sheer confusion on a planeswalker's face when one of these attacks him/her.

I bought some of these because I wanted to have a deck that included caravans. It's gonna be the deck where people have a hard time following my strategy, because there won't be one.

what is that thing in the middle?

A friend of mine made an illegal deck using only lands and trade caravans. :D Funny times.

What the hell? Why is this rated so low? It's rated under 2 stars!? You've gotta be kidding me... This this is a 1/1 for W. That right there makes it at least 2 stars. Then it gives white the option of untapping land on your opponent's turn?

It may seem a little underpowered since it requires 2 currency counters, but if it was 1, it'd be too powerful for a 1 drop common. This card is, admittingly, out of date. But even so, I can think of quite a few ways of putting this thing to use.

Just think: if you had something like Extraplanar Lens, Gauntlet of Power, or an enchantment on your land, you could profit off of the untap ability. Heck, you could even give lands abilities and activate them multiple times, or untap a land that can animate into a creature to block.

Now I didn't write all of this to convince anyone that this card is super awesome and should be in every white deck. No. I just wrote all of this because this deserves more than a 1.5 stars!! I believe this is a solid 1 drop for white. I give this a 3/5.

it's not impressive because it needs to much time to charge up, the ability should require only 1 counter, or maybe what would make a better flavour, it should draw cards instead of untapping lands, sound more like tradin huh? or even become something like bazaar trader...

There is a lot going on in this artwork. I see a polar bear, a giraffe, a boar, a woman, is that a slug in the carriage?

Gosh, can that ability have any more restrictions put on it?

Once an acceptable card in some Stasis blue/white variations.

Well, it's a 1/1 for 1, and the ability is not a drawback, so it's probably decent by Homelands standards.

Quality one-drop common compared to others of its time. Sure, it's outdated and from the weakest era of Magic, but during that era this wasn't horrible. That one land untap could mean you tap out and still be able to use something like Swords to Plowshares on their turn. White's cool like that.

I had to rate this up to 4/5

A 1 drop creature for W, untaps land for free as it builds up power

Works well in a W/U deck as it can untap lands for counters.

The change to Human Nomad gives it some options too.

I can't believe that no one is commenting on the llama-giraffe (llamraffe), the polar-bear yolked onto a puppet show, the giant albino platypus with a chest on it's back, the anorexic pony, and the butt of a giant tortoise. And in the art that's supposed to be here, there is a front half of a giant tortoise, another anorexic pony, a levitating donkey, a velociraptor, and a giant white furry spider horse.

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

Well, it's not...terrible.

Prooooooliiiiifeeeeeeraaaaaate.

This version has the wrong card picture. If you want to see the correct picture go to one of the magic card trader sites like magiccardmarket.eu. These cards make a mural, this picture being the right side.

@DarthMetool: You said it. This card has become a better weenie through time.

If you look closely, there is a red ward and black ward on the caravan at the far right of the card. If you can see the other art version for the card, you can make out two more red wards and a green ward as well!
