Sandbinder

Sandbinder is an epic neutral minion card, from the The Witchwood set.

Strategy
Sandbinder is similar to Gnomish Inventor, but it only draws Elementals. The poor stats and lack of an Elemental subtype make this effect undesirable for Elemental decks, since Elementals favour high-tempo curve plays and prefer to spend mana triggering Elemental effects. However, the specific card draw makes it fairly powerful for Combo decks using Elementals. Sandbinder can search for and pull out cards like Murmuring Elemental and Grumble, Worldshaker, improving the combo's consistency. Conjure Mage can use this card to draw Mountain Giant, which can then be targeted with Conjurer's Calling. Other good targets include Siamat and Zephrys the Great.

Trivia

 * Sandbinder's entrance quote is a reference to T.S. Eliot's poem 'The Waste Land' . Given the minion's "sand" theme, it may also be a reference to the Neil Gaiman comic book Sandman, which used that quote as a tagline.
