@Tommy9898: Well, Turtleshell Changeling costs 1 more, meaning that it can attack for 4 power on turn 5 if you pay . Also, because this costs no mana, it allows you to use that mana later. The 3 cmc allows it to attack turn 4 for 4, which is very rare in blue, especially on a common. The landfall is especially good in this block, because of all the fetchlands and such. Lastly, the shroud means that your opponent can't use removal on it, and 4 toughness, especially in the early game, can reliably block a lot of stuff.

Laguz: just put a land into play on the opponent's turn. I'm fairly sure that fetch lands and Expanse can be used as instants.

This guy is seriously awesome. He holds down the fort so well, bouncing spells and and blades off his shell, and when nothing's on the board, he just lashes out and bites for four every turn, and they can't do anything about it!
I love the flavor, I love the picture, and I love the anguish this causes opponents. In the pre-release, I kept attacking with double snappers for the win.
Frustrated, my opponent cried, "I CAN'T LOSE TO TURTLES!"
5/5

What's with the low rating? This card is seriously cool.

Incredibly annoying as a blocer, particularly with the shroud.... it is amazing how many early creatures get stumped by this guy, and the 4/1 threat means people can't just tap themselves out and bum-rush you.
3.5/5

Nifty. Good in limited if you can pay the double-blue. I doubt it has a place in constructed, though.
