"I'll take my fogs and my indestructibility with my populate, even for the extra 1 or 2 mana, thank you." - RAV0004

My thoughts exactly. Also, those come with being instant speed as well!

As far as I know, the first one-word rules text for a non-creature.

I suspected something like this card would arrive in Dragon's Maze...

Oh it would be so awesome if they printed a promo without reminder!
Just "Populate" in the center. So awesome.

"Would be so much cooler if it was called "Copy Token" to keep with tradition of all the other cards Copy Artifact/Copy Enchantment."

@omni8000 These cards are different, though. For one they're blue enchantments. On top of that, they describe an artificial, unnatural process of reproduction - pretty much the opposite of this card.

Nonetheless, I would have prefered a different name as well: "Populate".
Then it would have been another card in line to use the scheme "card name equals ability" - Regenerate, Vigilance, etc.
I think this would have made the card even more simplisticly elegant and instantly memorable.

Would it honestly have been too much for this to have been an Instant and actually become playable?

Dryads and humans are remarkably similar, but one key difference is the size of the umbilical cord, which is often up to four times the size!

I really wish that they could have left the rules text off of this. Just populate would have been such a nice, clean, aesthetically pleasing card. More M11 Lightning Bolt, please.

This would a nice solid causal Sylesnia card if it wasn't for the fact that it is sorcery speed. That fact alone makes Druid's Deliverance and Rootborn Defenses much better cards, because they populate in addition to a good effect. Just use them instead.

But in a casual environment in a deck with plenty of 2/2 knights and 3/3 centaurs to populate? I guess it would work, but if possible you really should be using the aforementioned cards instead.

2.5/5
