Review of Krosan Drover **** An Excellent Card for Crippling an Opponent.


Krosan Drover is an excellent mana acceleration card, especially toward the end of the game if you have 8 mana and 2 creature cards in your hand that cost 6 mana.  That is normally to cast these two six mana cards it would of course cost 12 mana, but with Krosan Droer, it only costs 8 on a single turn.  It is not the only card that does this though.  And, it is not the most cost effective card that does this.  When playing this ability, the idea is that it is to be used more than once.  It is a very effect card to have if you have a Commander that costs 6 or more mana.

Situations where you might have 12 mana are likely to be few.  However, having 8 mana to work with, and using it to play two cards that cost 6 mana is a very realistic goal with Krosan Drover.  Also, that its ability is not an activated ability makes it somewhat safer.  You won’t have to worry about something that can take away activated abilities because it’s ability is not an activated ability.  Another advantage of a card like Krosan, like any good card that doesn’t have much power or toughness, you can beef it with an umbra or something, and slam someone with a sneak attack, as if you where playing a huge card with haste.  Thus, this card works great in a deck that has several hard hitting high mana cost creatures.
