Badgermole Cub The best new MTG card When WotC added mythic rare cards to MtG in 2008, lead designer Mark Rosewater stated that the ideally, mythic rare cards would feel "very special and unique", "cards like Planeswalkers, most legends, and epic-feeling creatures and spells", and not just "each set's most powerful tournament-level cards." Badgermole Cub, printed in Avatar: the Last Airbender, is a 2/2 for two mana, which turns one of your lands into a tiny creature, and means all of your mana dorks add an extra green mana whenever you tap them
