Remember to hit reload every day or else the new card may not load!
Not all of the old Card of the Day files are working right now. All of the old files should be running soon. About 80-95% are working now. Sorry for the delays getting new cards done too. Things are getting back to normal rather well.
In this web page, I hope to present to you strategies, combos, and obscure uses for a new
Magic: The Gathering card every single day.
The Card of the Day is...
Cave People
The Dark, 4rth Edition, 5th Edition Uncommon
1RR Summon Cave People
1/4
"If Cave People attacks, it gets +1/-2 until end of turn.
1RR, T: Target creature gains mountainwalk until end of turn."
A brief rundown of the card:
Cave People isn't a bad card without the prospect of giving a creature mountainwalk. Compare it to Grey Ogre--the Ogre is 2/2 always whereas Cave People are 2/2 to attack and a competent 1/4 blocker (for almost the same mana). As for that mountainwalk thing, I sure like Cave People much more than Burrowing. Burrowing is cheaper to use (much cheaper), but the ability to dole out moutainwalk every turn to a different creature outweighs the cost in my opinion. Here are some cards I use with Cave People in my mountainwalk deck:
- Blood Moon
Non-basic lands are in most decks nowadays. Who isn't using Gemstone Mine, Lotus Vale, Kjeldoran Outpost, Maze of Ith....? Our good friend Blood Moon will turn all non-basic lands into mountains. Perfect for hiring out the Cave People as guides.
- Mystic Compass/Phantasmal Terrain...
Since the Cave People are willing to show anyone/thing the way of the mountains, you're going to need your opponent to control at least one mountain (duh). There are many ways of altering land types, but the two I mentioned here are some of the cheapest.
- Cinder Giant
Since your mountainwalk deck will probably be all/mostly red, you'll need some choice creatures to give mountainwalk to. Cinder Giant has an incredibly high power for all the more he costs (5/3 for 4 mana). Sure, he has a downside of dealing 2 damage to each of your creatures each turn. The Cave People can survive this easily. It won't take many turns of whaling away with 5 unblockable damage each turn to win.
