RCotD #77

Random Card of the Day #77:

Blanchwood Armor - 2G
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +X/+X where X is the number of forests you control.

Initial thoughts:


MUHAHAHHAHAAHAHH Lolzor here doing the card of the day because Sefah is asleep and I called in sick from work.

Anyway I happen to love Blanchwood armor, not be cause its good but because its one of those timmy cards I like to play. It is pretty strong in a mono green deck which isnt the worst color to be mono with, at the very least if you play it right away its a 3 cost +3/+3 enchantment if you play it later (esp with green ramp) its much stronger. Now the main problem is its an enchantment...Sefah has a major problems with auras because of how easy it is to get 2 for 1'd and I agree to an extent. Also its not even as good as say....Claws Of Valakut...at least with Valakut you get first strike.

Lets try a how i would fix this card.

Blanchwood Armor 2.0 - 2G

Enchantment - Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets +X/+X where X is the number of forest you control and trample

See the main problem I saw was its an easy 2 for 1 and the fact that no matter how big this creature gets you still get chump blocked. Adding trample adds more of a threat/win condition to this that is more fitting for the cost.

Still its not an awful card and is still fairly strong in green 3/5

  1. I'd compare Claws of Valakut to Granite Grip, the earlier version of it. Blanchwood Armor hasn't exactly been updated since 7th edition.

    Granite Grip costs 2R, Claws is 1RR
    Blanchwood costs 2G, so it's updated version would probably cost 1GG.
