Review of Skyshroud Ranger ***

Excellent if you want mana coming out of your ears!
Some decks simply require a lot of mana. If you are playing a deck with 50+ mana in it this is a great mana accelerator. Consider that you have 8 cards on your first turn, and it is likely that 50% of them are going to be mana cards. Playing Skyshroud Ranger enable you to really get things going by allowing you to play an extra mana on your turn. What’s more some cards enable you to search for 2 or more mana, but only one of them can be played on your turn without this card’s ability. By your fourth turn, it is likely that you will have 6 mana, but without a card like Skyshroud Ranger you will only have been able to play 4 of them, while if you do have this card, you can really get the action going fast with high cost mana cards by having played 6+ mana, especially if you have a card like Cultivate in your deck.
