all mutate cards mtg questio : r/magicTCG What 5-color commander is best

I consider it more of a utility card and a supplement removal spell, perhaps how you might consider Remand or Unsubstantiate as part of a counter suite

Certain cards may be in higher demand

Plus, keeping one mana up as a Blue player is a completely natural thing to do, and just the threat of this card will have your opponents reconsidering their life choices

I tap four Swamps and an Island, and I cast Dark Ritual, and then Drain Life on him for 10, sending me up to 17 or so life, and sending him to 1

I see Sinkhole Surveyor as a beater that can get out of cheap removal range fast, and with some Bloomburrow bats around, the life loss is somewhat relevant
