Interestingly, when we playtested Verdia all those years ago, this unimpressive-looking tweak on Dream Thrush was an all-star. It's one of the only two common mana-fixers (Syravon Watchspires being the other one), while also following in the fine tradition of Tidal Visionary, Imagecrafter, Jhoira's Timebug of being "the common that adds/removes the set's main theme from other cards". For example, it can change the type of a land to set up or prevent cultivate triggers, make your earthform produce coloured mana, and so on.
