Yea cage even shuts down {rampant growth} type cards like Prime Time, Sam, and {evolving wilds}....that cage is a meany head come to think of it 😡
Cage doesn't stop lands from coming it from libraries, only creatures. I don't even know what Prime Time is. ???

My guess is that he meant {Primeval Titan} which as you just pointed out, it won't stop, but for his cousin the {Sun Titan}, it would be a bit of a show stopper.

Thanks Wally.  Learning something new everyday, eh?  It would put an end to Sam's creature returns, but not the O-rings.

I just remembered some of it from the nicknames for cards thread. :)

{Green Sun's Zenith}? Or does that do something different?
Cage wins.

This cage is troubling my thought process.  If it does not shut down lands from being played then why would it shut down Green Sun's?  The cage says you can't Cast from the library but Green Subs says to put a creature from library into play....it is not casting the creature.....

Read ALL of {Grafdigger's Cage}. 😉 I made the same mistake myself.
