Urza???s Legacy rare. Deranged Hermit was the centerpiece and namesake of Angry Hermit, a red-green land destruction deck that used Llanowar Elves and Birds of Paradise to accelerate into Avalanche Riders, Plow Under, and Arc Lightning (which was also mana denial, frequently zapping other people???s Elves and Birds). The upshot of all this was that by the time the eponymous hermit hit play, the opponent was too far behind to answer it. The deck???s designer, a fellow named Aaron Forsythe, piloted it to the Top 8 at U.S. Nationals in 2000, landing a spot on the National Team.
