It's what a green draw card should be, except I hate it when I use this and send a Garruk to the bottom of my deck.

I feel like this card is undervalued in constructed. It is the cornerstone of my GW Humans deck, and I actually prefer to have this card in hand over a Hero of Bladehold in most situations. With 33 creatures in my deck I average 2.8 creatures from this card. Any time I draw 3 or more creatures off this card, the game usually ends in victory within a few turns. With so many creatures in my deck, the odds of drawing no creatures off this are very low. If my math is right, it's about a 1 in 80 chance to blank on this assuming you've drawn 10 cards by the time you play this. I would only recommend playing this in a deck where it is your only non-creature spell, because even adding a few spells from my sideboard can make the odds on this much worse. For example, adding 6 non-creature spells from my sideboard increases the odds of blanking on this to about 1 in 26. Still pretty good odds, but if that's what your deck looks like before sideboarding, it will probably only get worse post board.... (see all)

While Stampede definitely doesn't fit in just any green-flavored Modern Constructed deck, it is invaluable in certain archetypes. For instance, I roll two of these in Bant Con***ion (not sure why c o n s c r i p t i o n is getting starred out here. Is Eldrazi Con***ion THAT bad of a word nowadays? ;). It sets up creature combos really well. In this case, you can dig turn two for exactly the creatures you need turn three. At this point whatever else you draw is a bonus.
I kept pulling it from that deck thinking, "It's not THAT good" but I always end up splashing it back in because it is so useful when you are in a bind.
For what it does, I'm not sure any other card accomplishes as much for 3 mana.

Comboes with Dwarven Recruiter and... Dwarves.
Wizards, mind to give us some cool Dwarves? Please?

It's so you can't write HTML "s c r i p t" tags into the comments and have the code mess up the page.

This card is useful for my RGW deck mainly because I have a lot of mana ramp and small creatures. Every now and then turn four will hit and I'll have access to seven mana but have an empty hand-this card remedies that quite well. Plus, when top decking this in a stalemate situation-it's an awesome feeling to get two or three creature, even when you have to pass up a good spell.
