Etb Value

Creatures whose enter-the-battlefield trigger nets a tangible advantage: drawing cards, fetching lands, or recurring permanents from the graveyard. Mulldrifter draws two on arrival, Solemn Simulacrum and Wood Elves search up lands, and Eternal Witness and Karmic Guide pull cards or creatures back from the yard. These bodies pay for themselves on cast and reward repeated flicker effects. Distinct from Etb Removal, whose arrival destroys or exiles a permanent, Etb Damage, whose arrival deals damage or drains life, and Etb Token, whose arrival makes tokens; this set covers the draw, ramp, and recursion side of enter-the-battlefield payoffs.
