Each colour is associated with a strategy: Steel hits hard, Sapphire is slow and strategic, Ruby hits fast but weak, Emerald is about thinking beyond the playing field, Amythest nerfs your opponent and Amber heals and buffs your deck
Ramp is great and this effect is unique at a measly one mana, so it doesn't surprise me that it's nearing $10, jokes aside
Whenever you open a pack, its important to keep track of the rarity symbols that appear under the card to get an idea of what you just got was incredibly rare or stupidly common
These cards usually take place in a distinct scene as well, instead of just having a generic background
THATS FOR FRODO
Two other cards in the Emerald deck that work well here are Cruella de Vil: Miserable as Usual and Mad Hatter: Gracious Host, which can both help to support hand size
