AI draftAI-generated draft analysis — not yet human-reviewed. Treat with healthy skepticism.

Limited summary

Three-mana 1/1 that fetches a Forest directly onto the battlefield — fixing, a Landfall trigger, and a body in one common. Unexciting stats, but exactly the infrastructure the GU deck runs on.
