Freestrider Lookout

Creature — Human Rogue

Reach

Whenever you commit a crime, look at the top five cards of your library. You may put a land card from among them onto the battlefield tapped. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. This ability triggers only once each turn. (Targeting opponents, anything they control and/or cards in their graveyards, is a crime.)

Niko9 If you like targeted effects a lot I think the newest set has a few sleepers with "commit a crime" mechanics. I think the wordiness of "committing a crime" will make some people sleep on some of those cards. I mean if you reword Freestrider Lookout to: ramp out a land when you target something... then you aren't looking at a card that is <$1

I never really loved the targeted removal, so that would be a further reason for me not having love for Thunder Junction, since "commit a crime" is a solid-gold payoff for removal... Who knows, maybe I could look into a "commit a crime" deck & completely change my viewpoint of targeted removal. Which currently, in my meta, it is hard for me to justify using up a card slot, using a card from hand, only removing 1 thing; in my meta, it always just leads to an opening for some other opponent that is waiting to go off. Though, my meta does a ton of midgame stuff, so you usually win by committee or resilience.. Targeted removal just doesn't carry the oomph in those circumstances because the meta doesn't tend to play singular lynch-pin cards where disruption means a whole lotta beans.... but if there is a payoff attached to removal, like with "commit a crime" I could look to changing my ways a bit. Also, that being said, I have always been a huge fan of redirect-type spells because it changes up that whole resource to removal equation.

Certainly with Wand of Wonder I do not complain that people rock tons of targeted removal for me to utilize :)
