Standard is going to be awful once checklands rotate, mark my words.

Scrylands back in m20. I feel like there being a cost to playing 3 color manabases in Standard is good and that having mana as good as it is now should be rare and centered around gold card centric blocks like Ravnica.

Scrylands are slow and favor control decks way too much.

Combine that with all these walkers and... it's gonna be a serious grind.

I'm pretty sure i've been out of the game for too long and am judging cards by standards which aren't accurate anymore, but this seems good. Maybe not game winningly good, but a damn fine 1 drop.

They must be pushing for mono-black agro to come back

For this card to be a thing, it likely will need a tribal home that really wants a 1 drop. By itself it's pretty marginal at best.

I do find it amusing that it's a Knight with a Squire statline that "grows up."

Oh goddamnit. Tons of stuff I was going to throw into my current angry Omnath deck from this set, but now do I want to rebuild it entirely? Decisions now..., because this is going to play a whole lot differently. Or I could just swap to Animar and play Animar elementals I guess, but feels like it’d be gimping Animar to run just ele tribal. Hrm.

The actual land ramp in standard right now is pretty wretched tho, unfortunately. We've got the 5cost kicker Skyshroud Claim.

There's the one that fetches gates.
Circuitous route. There is that new Nissa spell that can get you two in hand. And the enchantment that gets you 3 life and adds +1 mana to your land. I never had problems ramping with green.
