About Earthen Arms

Earthen Arms, Sorcery, designed by Dan Murayama Scott first released in Oct, 2015 in the set Battle for Zendikar and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 3.32.

This card, Earthen Arms, would benefit a deck focused on +1/+1 counters and land creatures, such as a Green stompy or ramp deck. While it provides a versatile option to buff a permanent or create a powerful Elemental creature, there are potentially better cards like Solidarity of Heroes or Nissa, Who Shakes the World that offer more impactful effects for a similar cost. However, Earthen Arms could still see play in specific strategies looking to capitalize on +1/+1 counters and land synergies.

Rules

08/25/15

Any permanent can have a +1/+1 counter put on it. Those counters won’t have any effect unless that permanent is or becomes a creature.

08/25/15

If a spell with awaken has multiple targets (including the land you control), and some but not all of those targets become illegal by the time the spell tries to resolve, the spell won’t affect the illegal targets in any way.

08/25/15

The land will retain any other types, subtypes, or supertypes it previously had. It will also retain any mana abilities it had as a result of those subtypes. For example, a Forest that’s turned into a creature this way can still be tapped for .

08/25/15

You can cast a spell with awaken for its mana cost and get only its first effect. If you cast a spell for its awaken cost, you’ll get both effects.
