A-Rakish Revelers

The tension in every fixing creature is that it wants to do two jobs at incompatible points on the curve: fix your mana early, put a body on the board late. This one splits the difference by letting you spend it twice. Cast it as a five-drop and you get a 5/3 that leaves a 1/1 Citizen behind, a fine top-end for a go-wide aggressive shell. Or, when your hand is stranded and your lands do not make the right colors, you exile it from hand for a single mana and hand any one land the ability to tap for red, green, or white until you eventually recast the creature from exile. The land ability is not permanent; it lasts only until the Reveler is cast from exile, so the exile mode is explicitly a bridge, not a commitment. That is the clever part: the fixing is refundable. You are not throwing the card away to smooth an awkward draw, you are parking it as a mana source and reclaiming the body once the game develops. The rate on either half is unremarkable in isolation, which is the point; the design gives a Naya midrange deck a card that is never dead, because the answer to "I have colors but no threats" and "I have threats but no colors" is the same piece of cardboard, played from two different zones.
