{"product_id":"scapeshift-graphite","title":"Scapeshift (Original Sketch)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of artist Fred Field’s top 2 MTG paintings, \u003cem\u003eScapeshift\u003c\/em\u003e is a four mana green sorcery card first printed in \u003cem\u003eMorningtide\u003c\/em\u003e (2008). It lets you sacrifice any number of lands and you search your library for that many land cards and put them onto the battlefield tapped. Modern is \u003cem\u003eScapeshift’s\u003c\/em\u003e true home, it’s the centerpiece of one of Modern’s most defining combo-control archetypes. Together with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, Scapeshift can instantly deal 18+ damage to your opponent, which basically functions as a one card combo kill (e.g. With 7 lands casting \u003cem\u003eScapeshift\u003c\/em\u003e fetching one Valakut and 6 mountains deals a minimum of 18 damage). This combo only needs lands and ramp spells if you manage to survive long enough. \u003cem\u003eScapeshift\u003c\/em\u003e decks like to play control early, ramping their mana and interacting (e.g. \u003cem\u003eRemand\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLightning Bolt\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCryptic Command\u003c\/em\u003e) then transition into combo mode to end the game in one shot. One of the main strengths of the deck is that it is very resilient to creature removal. There are a few different Valakut\/ Temur (RUG) \u003cem\u003eScapeshift\u003c\/em\u003e variants. Besides the one already mentioned there is also a TitanShift\/Gruul Valakut deck, which is basically a hybrid between \u003cem\u003ePrimeval Titan\u003c\/em\u003e ramp and \u003cem\u003eScapeshift \u003c\/em\u003edecks, that runs more creatures and less control elements. Another version combos with the card Bring to Light which uses this card to tutor and cast Scapeshift directly, adding a toolbox versatility (e.g. Supreme Verdict, Anger of the Gods). Scapeshift doesn’t see play in other eternal formats such as Legacy or Vintage due to faster, more effective combo strategies available. It’s also popular in cEDH, where it sees play in ramp-heavy green decks as a value or combo enabler, especially with \u003cem\u003eValakut, Field of the Dead\u003c\/em\u003e or the Dark Depths\/ Thespian’s Stage combo. \u003cem\u003eScapeshift\u003c\/em\u003e is not on the Reserved List and has been reprinted multiple times (Special Guests, Core 2019,..).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762028965933,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Scapeshift_Original_Sketch_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775126892","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/scapeshift-graphite","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
