Maybe that’s a card design for the future? A creature that steals all your non ‘tap for mana’ artifacts for a turn upon activation, something to fill the gap in between Treasure Nabber and Hellkite Tyrant.Įxxaxl: This to me seems like one of the strongest new cards printed in CMM. If only it saw any and all artifact activations so you could steal your opponents Ashnod’s Altar or Sword of the Animist. Even if you only get a single use out of a Chromatic Lantern or Fellwar Stone, that still means you were able to spend mana ahead of your expected curve. Mana rocks that are now mine, for one turn. Everyone is going to be color fixing and ramping and most of that will happen through mana rocks, if people don’t have access to green. I wouldn’t hesitate playing this card in CMM Limited. Relying on your opponents to ‘have something useful’ will always be situational and suboptimal, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun and lead to some weird lines of play you didn’t plan for. If the greatest power among creatures you control is 0 or less at that time, no mana is added to your pool.Exxaxl: At one point I played a Krenko, Mob Boss deck where I threw this card in as a joke, and it made for some weird game states where upon starting my turn, I had access to two Sol Rings, a Fellwar Stone, and an Arcane Signet that weren’t mine. It doesn’t use the stack and can’t be responded to. Selvala’s last ability is a mana ability.Note that effects that reduced its power before it left the battlefield will apply. If the new creature isn’t on the battlefield as the first ability resolves, use its power when it left the battlefield to determine whether its controller may draw a card.If another creature has the same or higher power than the new creature’s power, no one may draw a card.

The new creature’s power is compared to the power of each other creature on the battlefield as the first ability resolves.: Add X mana in any combination of colors, where X is the greatest power among creatures you control. Whenever another creature enters the battlefield, its controller may draw a card if its power is greater than each other creature's power. TYPE Legendary Creature - Elf Scout ABILITY
