Crocanura is one of the newest Green cards from Wizards of the Coast's upcoming expert "Magic: The Gathering" expansion set "Gatecrash." Featured in the "Simic Synthesis" intro pack, Crocanura is a basic Evolve creature that can grow into a meaty threat.

It may not be that impressive, however Crocanura can help form the meat and potatoes of any limited Evolve deck. Corcanura helps grow earlier players like Cloudfin Raptor, Experiment One, and Gyre Sage. Thanks to its toughness of three, Crocanura can help make another copy of itself evolve or grow an Adaptive Snapjaw.

Crocanura's low color commitment of just one green mana makes it an attractive option for multicolored deck. Gruul players with a plethora of powerful threats such as Ghor-Clan Rampager and Rubblehulk can transform Crocanura into an impressive size.

Thanks to Reach Crocanura can block creatures with flying, which gives it a pivotal roles in limited where it'll see heavy play.
