When this creature enters, destroy target nonbasic land.
Mox strategy
Ravenous Baboons is a narrow but potent land-hate creature: a 2/2 for 4 mana that can immediately destroy a nonbasic land on entry. Its main strength is punishing greedy mana bases, utility lands, and slow multicolor decks, especially in metas with few basics.
Best in decks that want creature-based disruption and can recur or blink it for repeated land denial. Strong synergies include bounce/blink effects, reanimation, and sacrifice loops that let you reuse the enters-the-battlefield trigger. It also pairs well with land destruction strategies that aim to keep opponents off key colors.
It mainly supports resource denial and tempo pressure rather than raw board power. In Commander, it’s most effective when your deck is built to exploit ETB triggers or when your meta relies heavily on nonbasic lands.
