I always saw this card as a marriage between the dryad and the centaur for some reason...freaky horse-man on tree-chick thoughts abound.

I would like to see an ugly dryad printed. Just one.

I know the mana base would be hard to pull off, but damn, do I want to use this with Demigod of Revenge.

Okay... I think that Wormwood Dryad is kinda ugly. But still, it depends on personal preferences.

@Square hippy
It won't work like you think it will. Cascade only works on cast creatures.
This card has made me lose games though. Only because I put 3 creatures on my library when I probably should have waited for a board wipe.

I use this in a 'semi-dryad tribal edh deck', and mostly like to put the Chorus of the Conclave, Dryad Sophisticated, and the Yavimaya Dryad on top. Also comes perfect, if you use Mayael, the Anima as a general to be able to fetch for 3 fatties the next rounds.
An Oracle of Mul Daya + 2 Dryad Arbors would be kinda funny too. This way it even would come great at earlier game.

Cascade casts the revealed card. So cascade chains like the one Square hippy described do work.

I always thought this was a Rare, considering how effective of a card tutor this is. Although a little colour-heavy, there are so many applications this can achieve:
Low on creatures? You won't be for a few turns!
Want to put fear in your opponents? Make them look out for Lurking Predators!
Late game and need a win condition? Pft! Who needs one creature when you can get THREE!
All in all, it's a great card perfect for EDH. Just watch out for early games and low-land hands.

I think you guys are critically undervaluing this card.
Then again, maybe there's just no Constructed Format to really abuse its power in besides Casual.
1) It's as sharply costed as the Mirage Tutors. To my knowledge, no other card *in. the. game* comes quite nearly as close to be a multi-tutor for the *same mana cost*. Gifts Ungiven and Buried Alive may come the closest but stipulations still require they be played not quite like Demonic Tutor would be.
2) Creatures have been *seriously* on the rise since the original Ravnica Block, and Deck Strategies have evolved somewhat too. Not many people are seriously going to be interested in what the next Burn Spell is for Red in the context of an all-spells Red Deck Wins-- Red cards are essentially either Black or White cards, depending on if they're creatures or if they kill creatures. While non-Gold decks are not a thing of the past, at the same time Mono-Color Deck... (see all)
