Great 2-Drops That Aren't Ramp Not every great 2-drop needs to make mana

All for three mana

I didnt think For ten mana, this card exiles half of an opponents library, gets at least three +1/+1 counters (going by average mana values), making it a 10/10 most of the time when it enters with a Ward - Annihilator 2 level of built-in protection, and, again, likely Annihilator 3 if you exile at least a permanent card with a mana value of three from half your opponents deck (again, this is being conservative)

I also got five ex cards, including the mighty Mega Zygarde ex, making it a total of nine hits over 17 packs

Our own Jason Alt built a Bant Snow Landfall deck around this guy here

The real strategic depth, however, comes from its protection
