About Sheer Drop
Sheer Drop, Sorcery, designed by Clint Cearley first released in Aug, 2015 in the set Duel Decks: Zendikar vs. Eldrazi and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.49.
This card, Sheer Drop, would be beneficial in a control or midrange deck that focuses on removing threats from the board while also having the option to turn a land into a creature for added aggression. While Sheer Drop is a decent removal spell with the potential to create a powerful creature, there are arguably better options like Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares for more efficient creature removal. However, in the right deck, Sheer Drop could still see play as a versatile card that can provide both removal and a potential threat on the battlefield.

If a spell with awaken has multiple targets (including the land you control), and some but not all of those targets become illegal by the time the spell tries to resolve, the spell won’t affect the illegal targets in any way.

The land will retain any other types, subtypes, or supertypes it previously had. It will also retain any mana abilities it had as a result of those subtypes. For example, a Forest that’s turned into a creature this way can still be tapped for .

You can cast a spell with awaken for its mana cost and get only its first effect. If you cast a spell for its awaken cost, you’ll get both effects.
