All the card drawing in the world isn't gonna save you from Storm Crow

The unfortunate thing about this card is that once you are drawing enough cards for it to be worth playing its very expensive ability you're practicly getting into a card drawing overload. However, very fun for the fact that you can smugly look at your opponent and say "i tap 4 lands, and drawn twelve cards."

The riptide people were really scary.

EVOLVE THE SLIVERS!!!

Which they did.

And the slivers chopped their heads off and ate them.

Let that be a lesson to you.

Much better than Archivist, can survive more stuff and interacts with its own tribe

This card is more fun now that we have a non-creature wizard. Try wrathing my Diviner's Wand!

I have this in a wizard tribal Vendilion Clique EDH deck. Since it obviously is a control deck, I just leave mana up every turn, and let my opponent choose: Do I draw a ridiculous amount of cards at the end of your turn, or do I counter your spells that turn? Either way, I win.

4/5, because without Training Grounds, the activation cost can be annoying.

We're fortunate that the Riptide laboratory never got a hold of the abandoned Phyrexian tech left from the Invasion. I guarantee they'd have managed to combine it with their Sliver experiments.

The second coming of Yawgmoth in Sliver form.
