Creature — Elf Druid
LegalRampRank #749
When this creature enters, you may sacrifice a land. If you do, search your library for up to two basic land cards, put them onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.
1/1
Why is this card good?
Springbloom Druid is a creature-based Cultivate stapled to a body, and that's exactly its appeal. You sac a land to fetch two basics tapped — net +1 land plus a 2/2. The bonus over Cultivate is that it's a creature, which matters more than people realize.
Why it shines:
- Creature ramp synergy: blink decks (Roon, Brago, Ephara), flicker triggers, and graveyard/recursion shells (Meren, Muldrotha) can reuse the ETB repeatedly.
- Sacrifice and landfall payoffs: it both feeds aristocrats fodder and triggers landfall twice (Lord Windgrace, Omnath, Tatyova).
- Fixing: fetches two basics, so it smooths multicolor mana.
When NOT to play it: in pure ramp decks without blink/recur, Cultivate or Kodama's Reach are cleaner — they don't cost you a land or risk a creature getting removed before the trigger. It also wants you to have a land to sac, so it's awkward early on a stumbled hand.
Play it when the body and ETB matter; skip it as generic ramp.
