A standout from the Avatar-themed most charming collectible cards proves to be a powerful little force.
MTG’s collaboration with Avatar will not hit the general market before the end of the week, yet after early access events recently, an affordable green creature experienced a surge in value.
From the initial reveals, the earthbending cub drew significant interest. This two-power, two-toughness that costs G and 1 mana, Badgermole Cub features Earthbending 1 (arguably the strongest within the four bending abilities in the set). The major perk here lies in another power: Whenever mana is generated by tapping a creature, it provides bonus green mana.
When first listed, this card could be purchased for $26.98. Following the early events, yet, the market price jumped to $49.66 with at least one listed as high as $60. The reason for such high costs on this adorable card? Mainly due to the incredible mana acceleration it provides.
Upon entering the battlefield, this creature turns a terrain card to a creature land that has earthbending. Combined with its other power, if it remains on the board, those lands yields two mana instead of one — in addition to mana-producing creatures on your side that produce resources.
The obvious go-to for synergy includes the classic Llanowar Elves, a cheap 1/1 which can be tapped for G mana. However numerous other mana generation creatures out there. This particular druid costs a bit more a 1/3 creature costing two mana as an alternative.
Deploying terrain, mana-producing creatures, alongside this card, you may quickly play a very big and very expensive creature on the board within a few turns. The situation escalates exponentially by maintaining dominance from there.
When adding a secondary color with this approach, options such as versatile mana producers are all great options that can make all five colors. Additionally, this powerful dryad allows you to put another terrain per turn plus makes all of your lands so they count as all basics. It's also worth trying for example this six-mana enchantment, at a six-mana investment provides all of your permanents the power to produce a mana of any type — including each creature under your control.
Badgermole Cub might seem overpowered regarding accelerating your resources, but how do you win with this archetype? One obvious and popular answer has been Ashaya. Its stats match your land count, and it changes each creature you own Forests as well as their original types. Essentially, each creature you control is able to produce double green when tapped.
Harmonious Grovestrider is a costly, large threat which gains from many terrain cards (as with the previous card, its stats are based on your land total).
This Planeswalker fits really well in this deck. Her passive ability makes Forest lands tap for one more G. (Combined with earthbend, so each one yield three G.) One loyalty ability is essentially a form of land animation, placing counters on terrain, handy but does not overlap with earthbend. Her ultimate, though, grants all of your lands immune to destruction enabling you to search for every Forest left in your deck. Once you trigger that ability, it’s pretty much the game ends.
The cub is nearly mandatory for all decks using green and Avatar focusing on earthbend. When branching into red-green, there’s Bumi. It possesses earthbend 4, plus if it hits a player in combat, each animated land are ready again and can attack again. Even though Bumi has become a fan favorite Commander, this small creature is set to be among the top, possibly the popular pick in the collaboration.
