Great for triggering inspired and cheap enough to accelerate your mana early. Notably you can tap a creature that was just played with this, it doesn't need haste.

Slightly harder to find one of these in Theros than it is in Lorwyn.

Use it in your Norin the Wary EDH decks! Free mana, as you won't be tapping him much anyway...

This thing interacts with so many standard cards right now, particularly cards with inspired.

It is funny just how solemn this art looks compared the previous one.

Great reprint! We should more often see reprints of this caliber instead of only constructed unplayable cards that only exist as limited filler (and cardbord garbage).

Loving the new art.

Goblins use these on Lorwyn. Satyrs use these on Theros. Ergo, satyrs are the Theros equivalent of goblins. Makes sense to me.

Strictly less amusing art and flavourtext than the Lorwyn version.

Strictly worse as it lacks a goblin smacking it with a fish.

Perfect reprint. I doubt the card was ver this good in Lorwyn.

It was a good choice for the first spoiled card because it left everyone guessing "What the balls are we going to use this for?"
Fits the set very well

Woah. What a constructed snob. Limited is fun and exists for a reason.

One of the first cards revealed from the set. As has been said, it's an inspired enabler, but can also double as a mana accelerator. To be honest, when it was first revealed (inspired wasn't revealed at the time), I was already thinking that this is a legitimately decent mana acceleration. Of course it isn't as good as the specialized mana accelerators green has, but this is an artifact and can make use of your idle creatures that may have become obsoleted during the course of the game (if your opponent has bigger creatures and you won't attack with that creature anyway, might as well make him useful).

Here's a nice one for you:
{T} Springleaf Drum, then {T} an Inspired creature as part of its ability (e.g. Pain Seer). Choose {G} for Mana. Use that single {G} to cast Burst of Strength, which will untap your Inspired creature and put a +1/+1 counter on it.
