Springleaf Drum is tempo negative, variance positive [both a function if being a do-nothing topdeck], and at the end of the day it's a pretty weak effect that also has to be cast and resolved. The lands that do the same thing are velocity positive and have same engine benefit. Hiding your combo parts in the manabase slots is pretty much forced by cards like this dwarf.
Springleaf Drum is closer to comparing an Ebon Stronghold to Tomb. The dude-lands do literally the same thing as Drum for mana, zero stack use, and they can make mana alone.
Seems interesting with things that can put counters onto it.
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
"Politicians are like diapers. They should be changed often and for the same reason."
"Governing is too important to be left to people as silly as politicians."
"Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers."
So they Fetch one time and they lose all Elk, food, and Astrolabes. Neat.
At the floor of the card, it's a 3/3 for 3 that gets counters from your opp's cards going to the gy, so at the least, it keeps growing from at least fetches. That by itself is certainly solid. Now add on an optional/selective board wipe for its ceiling? That's cash money baby.
Is Sarulf a part of a cycle of " Ragnarok" creatures? Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Surtr showing up as cards? If Sarulf is Fenrir....

Eh, I dunno about that. It's already highly likely to be immune to Bolt on arrival. It's also very likely to be a 4/4 Elk if opponent goes for the Oko [+1]. If your deck has control elements, this seems like a decent option against Enchantress, TES, Emry Cannon, and potentially Vial. The interesting part is that it will kill anything [but a GSZ'd Arbor] that attempted to ramp it out (Mox Diamond, Noble Hierarch) or protect it (Mother of Runes). It's an interesting pre-requisite in deck construction. A deck like Worldgorger is probably perfectly happy turning this on with Decay. I guess technically a BUG Standstill deck also wouldn't care about spamming 'yes' on trigger.
Post was mistaken. Removed it.
Thanks for pointing it out, Pittplayer.

This card is a little interesting:
The casting cost is a little heavy, but it's still something that could do work in some kind of tribal deck.Realmwalker 2G
