Faceless Haven can now threaten opponents life totals if left unchecked. Lovestruck Beast is gone, and four-power creatures can thrive once again. As a 4/3, Faceless Haven never stood a chance.Ĭome September, Faceless Haven won’t have to sit back any longer. If a creature couldn’t get past the 5/5 beast, then the creature probably wasn’t worth playing. Lovestruck Beast was the “stat check” creature in standard. Cards like Embercleave, Brazen Borrower and Bonecrusher Giant all dominated the standard environment. It’s not uncommon to hear that Throne of Eldraine is one of the most powerful standard sets to release in years. It No Longer Has to Battle Lovestruck Beast Baleful Mastery, Frostbite, and even Murder will need to come through as the premier options to remove Faceless Haven. Sadly most of the common removal spells will rotate in the coming fall. Opponents can try to force a mistake and catch a Faceless Haven in post-combat, but they are better off trying to use instant-speed kill spells. Because Faceless Haven is only a creature when its controller decides to activate, it often times dodges any form of sorcery speed removal. One of the more annoying aspects of creature lands is their ability to stick around on the battlefield. Get used to seeing this card in any matchup because it’s just too easy to add into any deck in Standard. Add the fact that the land also creates colorless mana, and now Faceless Haven becomes an almost must-add in every deck regardless of archetype. Every deck has access to the ‘restrictive’ activation cost for Faceless Haven due to the access to snow lands. The activation cost of triple snow-mana is not as difficult as people originally thought. Their activation costs need certain mana in order to actually transform the land into a creature.įaceless Haven does not have that restriction. The recent land cycle from Forgotten Realms is a good example of how a colored creature land only fits within a certain shell. Most creature lands have a color restriction to them, making those cards a bit less flexible when it comes to deck building. This also includes Planechase and Commander format legal cards that are used in their respective format.The main problem with strong lands is that they are essentially ‘free’ threats available to almost every deck.
