Azorius Cluestone (Dragon's Maze) - Community - Gatherer

There are no comments yet for this card.

Did someone say "Only useful in Limited formats"?

I think the only use I'll get out of these is in sealed pools. The prerelease had me using one or two of these for mana-fixins, and if I pulled a keyrune, I'd just use that instead.

I honestly hate this in limited, especially compared to the keyrunes.

The keyrunes were so much better for limited since you always had the chance of turning it into a creature. Sure, you couldn't attack with it and tapped it for mana in one turn, but at least you had the choice.

Not only that, but it makes your opponent think more about their turns. If you keep 2-3 mana open for the keyrune ability but you still have cards in your hand, they'll have to not only consider what's in your hand but the keyrune as well. It's the tricks of limited that make up a good player.

But the (Blue's) Cluestone's don't provide that for you. They just give you sub-par mana ramp and a possible draw when you're desperate. Also remember that the cost of the "sac: draw" is really

(

for this cluestone), since you're losing the chance to tap this for mana.

I do not expect these to be as highly picked as the keyrunes in limited.

The Cluestones could've been cool, but alas, R&D was way too cautious about them. For

, we should get more than sub-par fixing and an expensive cycling.

The flavor is using very nice Slavic language based words. Sova - Owl; Jelenn - Stag (only with one n at the end, Jelen) and Lyev - Lion. Owls represent wisdom = judges and arbitrator, Stags agility = scribes and elocutors and the Lion is power = lawmages and enforcers. Horaay for Slavic Ravnica!

I like that they give you mana early game when you need it and then turn into something more useful late game. I play white blue control. How many times have I had a manalith just sitting there when I have ten or twelve lands?
