Hushwood Verge

Hushwood Verge's tournament use grew faster than its price: 28 published decks used 46 copies from October 31 through November 7, against 11 decks and 16 copies in the preceding 7 days. The growth spans Standard and Pioneer, with winning Selesnya lists in both formats.

indianpancake followed with a 7-1 win at the November 4 Standard Challenge 16, also playing one copy in Selesnya Landfall in the winning decklist. Both lists paired it with 4 Temple Garden and 4 Fabled Passage, making Hushwood Verge a supplement to the mana base rather than a four-copy commitment.

Its newest printing remains Duskmourn, dated September 27, 2024, in Scryfall's card listing. The immediate limit on demand is the winning lists' copy count: the two Standard winners needed only 1 each, and the Pioneer winner needed 2.
