Small mistake: Ruin Crab can’t self mill, as it “mills each opponent”! It’s one and only purpose is a such opponent milling, which it does better than Hedron crab as it dodges Leyline 😉

In reply to Steven Givens. I hadn't even considered that guy! Guess it would replace Brushfire, or maybe Swiftspear? But I like having Plan B-style creatures not too invested in the landfall dimension to cover for those games where Wrenn doesn't come together.

In reply to Dan W.. Wait until Tuesday, that's what I'm working on.

What role do you think a card like Confounding Conundrum play against something like Amulet Titan? Any hope for the emergence of something like Spooky Taxes?

I think with landfall zoo there’s going to be two ways to build it after this set releases, and I’m not sure which is better. There’s the version you posted, which is super low to the ground, but I think the other new landfall 2-drop, the white 1/1 flier that gets landfall +1/+1 counters is potentially very solid in a slightly slower version, as it feels like it would play similar to a 2 Mana suspend 1 3/3 flier, that can potentially be attacking as a 5/5 the turn after that. Also, and I think very notably, it flies, so even if your opponent is trying to stabilize behind an Uro, if they don’t have the removal spell for the bird, you’re going to outpace their life gain with it.
