There are cards that make you wonder and then there are cards that make you wonder what they can change into. Well for Thespian's stage , apparently into any land you want.As a land it can come into play and give you colorless mana but with an added activated cost of 2 colorless mana and a tapping it can become a copy of any target land in play which retains this ability of copying other lands. Well let us take a look at some of the nifty things our shape shifting land can change into....
The Thespian's stage can become...
...a part of the Urzatron...
...another Cloudpost...
...a Plains to trigger Emeria , The sky ruin during your upkeep...
...a terrain generator...
...another Cathedral of War to increase +1/+1 for creatures via the Exalted mechanic...
...an additional artifact land...for affinity decks...
...another Vesuva...just in case you want to copy something else...
...another Valakut...you never get tired of having extra of those...
...another Inkmoth Nexus...
...a legendary land destroyer because only one can exist on the battlefield...
...a legendary land destroyer because only one can exist on the battlefield...
There are many more cards that I might not have mentioned here but the possibilities are staggering and its always important to have a back up of something as important as these lands. Imagine blowing up your opponents legendary lands like Boseiju or Urborg , Tomb of Yawgmoth or Serra's Sanctum , essentially throwing a monkey wrench into the gears of their plans.
In a limited sense the advantage that your opponents might have will also belong to you with Thespian's stage in play. The best time to copy an opponents land is at the end of your turn so that you can use Thespian's stage at the beginning of your turn. Thespian's stage is the Mistform Ultimus of lands. The question now is how you will use it. So much abuse. So little time.
