I like this card A LOT. I'd almost argue that it's better than Farseek in most applications.
They cost the same, can be cast at the same time, accelerate at the same speed.
Sylvan Caryatid fixes mana better, is exceedingly difficult to kill, and can be used to block.
Farseek accelerates you the same, doesn't fix as totally as this, and does nothing else (outside of Snapcaster Mage shenanigans, and he's roatating anyway)
Pretty nice card. As noted, this is a ramp spell basically (because u can't remove it anyway), that give mana of any color and can block if needed. It will be played in the upcoming standard, and maybe will see some fringe play in modern.
Did not see this coming at all. I thought I was going to be stuck with Manaweft Sliver for fixing. And I was pretty much okay with that. This guy is leagues better, in my opinion, so I'm rather excited for a replacement to a mediocre necessity.
Ya, Utopia Tree got goooooooood. This is a really solid mana fixer and accelerator. Beyond being immune to targeted removal, Hexproof means this card can't be shut off by an active Firefist Striker, making it solid against blitzing Red decks. Adding devotion, too, could be hugely relevant. Nice card.
4 of in green decks if we don't get another dork. It's a pretty sweet creature replacement for farseek. Plus it's hex proof and can chump block when needed.
This card is really good. Hexproof and 3 toughness means that it blocks well against blitzy style decks and makes the cmc of 2 much more palatable than Utopia Tree
This girl is decent. Hexproof and 3 toughness to block with the turn before you start tapping her for mana.
Are you really lamenting that we cant go turn1 green creature into turn 2 triple nongreen creature? to me, that kind of fixing just shouldnt exist in standard.

IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR A BIRDS OF PARADISE REPRINT??!!! :flame::flame::flame:
Are you kidding? The goal is to wipe away every trace of the 20 year history of Magic. No more Birds of Paradise ever again, no more llanowar elves, no classic art, and no reprints or any other thing that has been a staple of this game for 20 years.
Holy ****! Stops aggro without fear of most combat tricks and it is removal resistant color fixing. It may be worse than farseek versus control but is better against basically everything else. It will make a fantastic midrange card. I would say that it is better than birds of paradise in most standard decks, though birds will still see more modern play because it doesn't compete with goyf, confidant, etc for the 2 slot.

Are you joking?
Really it's hexproof and has an extra toughness it's strictly better then Utopia tree.
I wonder if there's a way to work it with Axebane guardian

I LIKE DRAGONS!
Birds of Paradise downgrade.
But not entirely stupid. I think it is acceptable.

Yeah, but there is no reason to ever play Utopia Tree again. They killed the card, like they did with Serra Angel. Le sigh.

How to make BoP better? Give it hexproof.
But tree can attack. It's totally fair.
That's worth it alone. :D:D
