Hedron Crab

Best 1CMC mill EVER!!! Run Fetch Lands and your opponent will be sweating bullets as you follow up with a Glimpse the Unthinkable or Mind Funeral.

Fetch Lands work well and all, but I think the most amazing way I saw this card used was this card and Infinite Reflection. Turn all your creatures into Hedron Crabs. Use Farseek. Play all the lands you like. Use Fetches obviously. And for every land that enters your opponent Mills out N×3 (N=Number of Creatures you have). Token Pump with Talrand, Sky Summoner. Use draw spells not mill spells, hunt those lands down. Every spell you play is another Drake, and thanks to Infinite Reflection, every Drake is a Hedron Crab. Which is pretty effective at driving your opponent insane.Mill out L×(N×3), pump out tokens with Brainstorm, Treasure Cruise, and Shared Discovery, and stupid free cards like Twiddle, Dream''s Grip, and Force of Will work too. In short, this is a very effective card at milling your opponent out. It''s not Grindstone and Painter''s Servant, but it does pretty good.

Hey Patrick,try running casual B/U mill.(hedrons,scours,glimpse,bounce lands and I like Circu in B/U mill)I've done 40-50 cards mill in 3-4 turns.Add the starting hand and it goes very fast.

Imagine this in a pure landfall deck. pair it with land search like harrow and fetch lands like misty rain forest, knight of the reliquary. makes for a mean deck!

This little guy is just too good to pass up for a mill deck, I'm going to run him in a casual setting with Tome Scours, Memory Sluices, and traumatize, as well as cathartic adept, and millstone. Its going to be a great time.

i completely agree with the guy who wrote his review above me that this card is crazy in any blue deck. personally i play blue-green aggro control most of the time with my staple cards being my elvish pipers, windrider eels, and lorthos the tidemaker, although sometimes i play green-blue-black aggro control (the best combination of colors ever, see my review of Vorosh, the hunter) and four copies of this card would really compliment both if i could get my hands on one of these.

This card really is sort of insane. I'm surprised I'm the first to comment here.
Running 4 of these in any blue deck seems like a no-brainer to me. End the game that much faster.

And if it was a green creature? Well, I think I'd go nuts over it.
