This is the second part in my blog installments about my favorite set: Future Sight. You can read my reasons for liking this set so much on the original post (http://mtgdeckblogaura.blogspot.com/2011/01/magic-gathering-future-sight-part-1.html), but if that is where you came from, then enjoy these next cards.
Llanowar Reborn is a strange land because of the fact it has the graft mechanic, even though it is a land. It gives a nice boost to a creature you play, protecting it from Contagion Engine or giving it just enough toughness to survive a burn.
Lucent Liminid is a weird enchantment because it is a creature and an enchantment at the same time. It may have the disadvantages of being both, but you must admit it is pretty cool to have a creature enchantment out in play.
Lumithread Field is another weird enchantment, but because it has a morph cost without being a creature. I would love to see the look on an opponent's face to see his pyroclasm fall flat because your "creature" is not only dead because it is no longer a creature, but because your other creatures will likely survive too.
Lymph Sliver is cool because it gives a name to an already existing mechanic: Absorb. Whenever any sliver is dealt damage, prevent 1 of that damage. Simple, yet effective, and keeping up with the flavor of white protection.
Mesmeric Sliver is another sliver with a name-giving mechanic: Fateseal. Like one of Jace, the Mind Sculptor's abilities, when the sliver comes into play you may look at the top card of an opponent's library, keeping up with the reputation of blue control.
Muraganda Petroglyph is a niche enchantment that gives creatures without abilities +2/+2. You can use this card to either boost your vanilla creatures or make your tokens godly strong. Probably the later.
Narcomoeba isn't a particularly amazing card, although it does let you laugh as your enemies mill this bad boy into play. It may possibly be used in a threshold deck where you can mill cards off of your library, but is too situational to be good.
This is the second of my multi-blog installment of my favorite future sight cards. Check out http://www.mtgfanatic.com for all these cards and much, much more for low prices and awesome discounts. Enjoy!
