Well, talking about strange cards like Wojek Siren and 'combos' that don't actually work is still better than that land art.
Re: [BFZ]Battle for Zendikar spoilers thread
That's great, rufus. You have real talent for brewing bad decks!

@Necrologia:
Ah my bad! I thought that the option to cast the card with Bring to Light was part of resolution of the spell like cascade. I mean cascade lets you cast a spell during and as the resolution of the cascade trigger. In my mind, cascade may let you in effect cast a sorcery at a non-sorcery speed timing. I thought it was possible for Bring to Light to break Necrologia timing restriction in the same way cascade let you cast a sorcery when the stack is not empty.

Ulamog's Nullifier 2UB
Creature - Eldrazi Processor Uncommon
Devoid This card has no color.
Flash
Flying
When Ulamog's Nullifier enters the battlefield, you may put two cards your opponents own in exile into their owners' graveyards. If you do, counter target spell.
2/3
With Delve around and at this cost - it's almost an unconditional counter attached to a 2/3 flying body. . . maybe a one of in the sideboard for any UB control deck?

so a mystic snake variant with more upside (easier to cast, flying, +1 toughness), but if your opponent doesn't exile cards its a blank? seems bad.
EDIT: worth noting its not really blue, so it doesn't pitch to FoW but can't be blasted. Yay?
Re: [BFZ]Battle for Zendikar spoilers thread
Yah bad counter is bad... You want your 4 mana counterspells to be unconditional!
The sacred foundry art isnt that bad. Its a forge where the octahedrals get melted into somthing. It gets sacred from the holy beam of light xD. That or zendikar gets a hit from some kind of Deathstar.

When you put DTT on the stack and your opponent responds with this thing

Re: [BFZ]Battle for Zendikar spoilers thread
The Expeditions lands' artworks are deliberately very different from their original artwork. And the city themes from Ravnica don't fit well into Zendikar. I guess they didn't care much, the cards will be chased after anyways because of their rarity. Maybe the whole Expeditions thing was a last minute idea to respond to the market situation and they conceived the artworks in a hurry, I don't know.
I have to admit the Sacred Foundry got pretty ugly. But on the other hand I like the Steam Vents and Hallowed Fountain artworks.
I still don't quite get where they end up in boosters. Are they in the land slot or in the foil mythic slot?
In the second case, wouldn't the normal foil mythics become more rare (or the foil mythic slot more frequent to compensate)?
And I still have to say, I find the set pretty underwhelming so far, not just for Legacy, for any format.
Re: [BFZ]Battle for Zendikar spoilers thread
What are people's thoughts on Scythe Leopard? A little vanilla, but it seems like a card with potential.

Iirc, it was announced that the fullart lands would be slightly less rare than a foil mythic.
Additionally, they will only be in English, so a korean pack might have a foil fullart Polluted Delta in English, but no Korean version.
To put that into perspective, how often have you opened a foil mythic cracking packs or playing Limited?
Re: [BFZ]Battle for Zendikar spoilers thread
I don't think the Expedition takes the place of the foil Mythic, he was just saying that these are 'as rare as a foil Mythic' to give people an idea of how frequently they should be seeing these in packs.
Re: [BFZ]Battle for Zendikar spoilers thread
Flooded Stand looks great. No surprise, it's illustrated by Veronique Meignaud.
Re: [BFZ]Battle for Zendikar spoilers thread
Oh hey, what's that:
http://media-dominaria.cursecdn.com/...0519866936.png
So it's a legendary Ringleader effect that could draw up to 4 alli- nevermind, it's shit.
I get that it can give you a steady supply of drawing allies, but it's still underwhelming.
Edit: Is this it just me or does the dude like a Kor version of Kratos? :confused:

Floating Islands with pink-colored watersfalls are not what I understand under a Flooded Strand. The only redeeming factor is that they didn't throw in random hedrons for the sake of it.

I've opened twelve.
Sadly, three of those were Temporal Trespass.

Neckbeard brony strand? No thanks.

It could share the foil mythic slot with the foil mythics.
So which slot? I actually hope it's the land slot. Like the Fetchlands in Fate Reforged.
