Urban Evolution from 'Gatecrash' revealed (Photos)

Urban Evolution is one of the newest "Magic: The Gathering" cards from Wizards of the Coast's upcoming expert expansion set "Gatecrash."

Urban Evolution - 3GU
Sorcery (Uncommon)
Draw three cards. You may play an additional land this turn.

As the Simic released more of their krasis experiments, they required new habitats, always at the expense of the locals.

Revealed today in a video on LoadingReadyRun.com, Urban Evolution helps you soar ahead of your opponent in card advantage while also furthering your mana development by one. It's like a Divination and Explore combined.

Urban Evolution makes a great choice for decks running Farseek that don't want to rely on creature acceleration, preferring to advance their land count instead. That allows you to play with board sweepers like Terminus, Supreme Verdict, and Devastation Tide.

Although Urban Evolution won't let you gain or draw the massive amount of life and cards that Sphinx's Revelation will, its rarity of uncommon makes an attractive option to casual players.

How will you use Urban Evolution?
