Boseiju, Who Shelters All

    This week's card is Boseiju, Who Shelters All, a legendary land from Kamigawa.

    Boseiju is not that impressive a card. It costs you life to get mana, and only one mana anyways. But it's helpful in an Izzet-themed deck (instants and sorceries) since you'll be able to do far more damage once your spells can't be countered.

    However, since Boseiju is a land, you can't untap it, so you'll need to make a choice about which card you don't want to have countered. It can be helpful when used with a counter spell, but in the end, the life you'll have paid will add up.

   To conclude, Boseiju, Who Shelters All is hardly an impressive card, but it can be a useful last resort.
