But If You Close Your Eyes…

…does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?


Memes aside, yes, I know that Blossoming Defense and Snakeskin Veil are not the same card. In addition to the obvious greater power that Blossoming Defense enjoys, in the context of Infect, Snakeskin Veil turns off Pendelhaven's pump and is too light a buff to give a turn one win with Scale Up and Mutagenic Growth. However, with the ever-greater presence of Lava Dart, one of the hardest mainboard hate cards against Infect, the counter might just be preferable.

If you had to ask me which one-mana green instant I'd prefer, I'd certainly rather take Blossoming defense, but if I were playing Mono Green Infect, then I'd likely run a playset of both. Between these and Vines of Vastwood, our creatures shouldn't die to removal unless we tap out or get unlucky and see them carry more than one at a time.

But if you close your eyes, you can just play whichever you'd like.
