Random Card of the Day 9

Afiya Grove

This obviously the precursor to the graft mechanic.

I really enjoy the concept and idea behind this card. Creatures eat the fruit and become stronger but the grove will eventually run out of fruit. Very rarely do the mechanics and the concept of a card integrate so well together, this is one of those times.

The card is obviously incredibly underpowered and underwhelming, and I think it would be pushed greatly if there was a similar card printed today.

Also, I feel that there is a discrepancy between Oracle text and actual text; I always thought bury meant to destroy without being regenerated and not sacrifice. Just something that I thought might be a little inconsistent.
