2/4

Why is this card good?

Dryad of the Ilysian Grove is one of green's best ramp pieces, packing three effects into a three-mana body. The extra land drop accelerates you and pays off in landfall and lands-matter decks. But the real magic is the second ability: your lands become every basic land type, meaning they all tap for any color. This effectively fixes your entire mana base, letting greedy multicolor decks run off-color spells with zero mana issues — and it turns basics into Mountains/Forests/etc. for cards that care. Who wants it: 4-5 color decks craving fixing, landfall/lands-matter builds (Lord Windgrace, Aesi, Omnath), and anyone abusing the typeline — think Valakut, or watering down opponents' nonbasic hate. It also enables combos with cards that punish specific land types. When to skip it: Mono-color or tight two-color decks don't need the fixing, so it's just a vanilla extra-land-drop body there. It also dies to any creature removal, so don't lean on it as your only ramp in fragile lists.
