Wastelands Effect: Green
4/13/07
No card in Wastelands Green will have as much an impact with Conquest Green cards as Vision of the Fields. Natural Convergence followed by VotF is total card advantage. The only other question would be what to do with all those extra lands. Conquest has some answers. Wastelands Green does not at all focus on Lands. But with Conquest Green’s land tutoring spells, I expect Arid Expanse and Gray Sands both to play very well in a green deck. Gathering Storm, the premiere fatty from Wastelands does get a few lopsided green creatures to reveal, including creatures which are 3/4, 5/1, 5/3 and not-quite lopsided 10/10. Rainwake will become a stronger play in general, given Conquest’s type focus. I’m not yet sure if it’s constructed viable in the new environment, but it seems a strong side board candidate. Wastelands Green also has a lot of strong midsized creatures, like Makti Charger and Kindred Mage that will fulfill vital roles in the block.
