Amusingly, prevents Eldrazi Spawn from turning into delicious mana. That alone sells it for me.

@Ctoaun14

Sorry, but those are mana abilities.

Good card, has a spot in my W/U aggro control deck.

Such a frustrating card against elf decks. It's not usually good enough to main board multiples of compared to other 4 drops, but a singleton can be effective against many decks. In my case, I was playing a game 3 on MWS, and the opponent wanted to swap decks - which I hate, as the matches are supposed to be best of 3 with the same decks to allow for variance. So I swapped to my elf deck, which generally punishes people for swapping to a counter-the-other-deck deck.

I didn't have the fastest hand, but after my turn 4 I was ready to Genesis Wave for the game next turn. He drops turn 4 Linvala, and I'm just like "really? How often do you see that outside of EDH, and yet here it is...". I conceded right there my only hope would've been to draw 2 additional lands and play the Eldrazi Monument in my hand, but even that probably wouldn't have been enough.

It's like Iona, except people won't try to stab you in the parking lot afterwards for using it. Quite killable, very good, on the whole appropriate.

Reminds me of Damping Matrix too. That drew a bit more hate however thanks to cost, and in the right deck is very effective.

Doesn't basic lands texts say tap: add one to your mana pool?
Does this mean I can completely mana skew people:)

For all y'all using Captain Sisay as a Commander/General: be cautious regarding incorporation of Linvala into your deck, as her presence provides opponents with "gain control" effects, especially Bribery, Gather Specimens, and Spelljack, a significant opportunity to reduce your deck's momentum through using your own Linvala to prevent Sisay from searching.

Is that a... 4 mana flyer with ability suppression?

I think this is my first "pi/5" rating.
