And how many decks have non-basic lands? :)

A very effective landwalk, and that damage is going to add up pretty quickly.

She could phase through my study anytime she wants, know what I mean? Heh heh.

@scumbling1

Firstly, yes a 2/1 unblockable in green would be very good. Not every green player wants a 9/9 trampler.

Secondly, everyone else is messing around with their comments, way to take it too seriously.

That being said, she may be gracefully silent, but if she walked into my room I'd make sure she got loud.

(To everyone with good taste, I'm sorry for that. I couldn't help myself.)

@scumbling Mark Herberholz played four of these in his deck at Pro Tour Honolulu in 2006. Competitive enough for you, new***?

@Scumbling1, this was actually a "4 of" in a championship deck when it was in standard. Sorry to always be the one to throw out your Hatorade...

Wizards, please reprint! I'm not normally huge on green, but this could change my mind! :-)

A 2/1 unblockable for 1/G is very good, I don't know what nonsense you're spouting, scumbling1.
It's playable, it's good, and Garruk's Companion is much more likely to die in combat.
Unblockable creatures have a certain undeniably utility over indefinitely large creatures with trample, in that they skip the whole "blocking" business, since a lot of things can go wrong there.

*Ahem

I really like the flavor of this card. A dryad, renown for their basic landwalking skills, defects from the natural lifestyle and spends her time wandering gilded halls and luxurious studies. She wears little, of course, but hardly anyone sees her to begin with, so it's a moot point.

I have never seen a nonbasic landwalk before. I can imagine this to be very powerful. Also, that's a very interesting outfit..

Pretty close to 2/1 unblockable for 1Green.
The only competitive deck that would be caught with only basic lands is RDW, and they are not known for having untapped creatures anyways. Not sure how competitive mono black or mono white is, but mono red is only real deck I know about.

Where was this in RTR during RTR and Innistrad standard when tri-colour decks were running no basic lands at all?
