Nah, just take one of the cards and put the rest to the bottom/GY. Ponder is functionally different enough.Quote:

Honestly, Oath of Nissa would have been a perfect Green Ponder if it just said "Permanent" instead of a bunch of restrictive hoo-ey.
Mind posting your collection or a link, maybe in a separate thread? Would be cool!Quote:

Was the "basic swamp" part really necessary? :rolleyes:
Dam, and yes. There is a land that makes everything swamps...
Yeah - but without Urborg, this card is . . . bad?Quote:

Urborg don't change the supertype, they're still non basic swamps.Quote:

Do note that even though Urborg makes everything a swamp, it doesn't make everything a basic swamp. Thus, it only works with Urborg and other basic lands. So, this card is probably unplayable outside of mono black.
Yeah this card will usually have no text box in Limited so it's safe at Uncommon.Quote:

Yea that card's costed to be actually functional. Love it.Quote:

Sad thing is, I'm not sure it's playable in either form now. For 4R you can get Charging Monstrosaur (charge, trample, 5/5), and for 1G you can get Tarmogoyf (or in Standard, probably a good dozen cards that are better than a 2/2 with some rules text that mostly doesn't matter, because it's a 2/2).
Heck, for five mana (3WW) you can get an upgraded Baneslayer Angel lord.
Better Kavu Titan - probably just a limited card now. Ramunap Hydra was a 5/5 Vigilance/Trample for 3G that didn't really see much play.
I mean I'm not expecting it to see tournament play anytime soon, but it's just an actually functionally costed take on the concept. It's a good card.
Honestly as power-creeped as creatures are anymore, it would likely need to drop the 1 off the base cost and just cost G (+3 kicker) to be a serious tournament card, and even then, it would see limited amounts of play outside of maybe a R/G aggro deck, and still probably wouldn't get playing in Modern or Legacy.
The nostalgia in this set is cool but it seems like everything costs 4+ and thus will probably have little impact on Legacy :mad:
Oh, no, trust me, there's some real sleepers in there. I know people working on Cheeri0s in Modern with both Jhoira and Puresteel, for example. And Song of Freyalise is costed really aggressively.Quote:

Traxos, Scourge of Kroog 4
Legendary Artifact Creature - Construct
Trample
Traxos, Scourge of Kroog enters the battlefield tapped and doesn't untap during your untap step.
Whenever you cast an historic spell, untap Traxos
7/7
The untap ability, in an artifact deck seems super easy, could even maybe have psuedo vigilance in an artifact deck. Is a 7/7 trampler for 4 worth it?
If u have workshop it's great. Just keep moxens you don't need in your hand as a way to untap this.
In legacy yeah no. It's a good beater but tombs decks don't want a 4 mana vanilla.
Colorless nettle sentinel makes me wary of what combo we have coming down the road.
Sounds super busted in vintage with Volatic Key to untap Traxos, your Time Vault as well as Crypt, Vault and shitQuote:

Honestly, you definitely want a 7/7 trample to cast on turn 2 in MUDQuote:

I think in legacy lodestone is a better card most of the time and see 0 play because casting it T2 is extremely inconsistent. This coming down T3 is nice but it dies to everything except AD. 4 mana threats need to at least protect themselves in this format to be playable imho. Reality smasher has haste, come down as fast as this with eldrazi lands if not arguably faster, and make your opponent 2-for-1 itself to remove it.
Outside of Combo I don't think this is that good in Legacy. For 4 colorless wouldn't you just always rather have Lodestone or Thought-Knot Seer?

The flavor text is essentially a dare :eyebrow:
There's also this guy to combo with it. While it isn't on-demand, it can get around Chalice, unlike Voltaic Key:
http://mythicspoiler.com/dom/cards/voltaicservant1.jpg
T1 Sol Land, Grim Monolith, use Monolith to play this guy, untap Monolith Eot, go HAM on T2 with a minimum of 5 mana each turn.
Not sure if it can fit into any deck, but the filtering seems pretty nice and a 1/1 flyer for :u: isn't too shabby, either:

Yea, there is a modern Cheerios deck this is going in.Quote:

edit - /nvm/ missed the permanent type restriction
Really disappointed in the lands here. Figured they could have some kind of reference to some of the golden oldies, but.. not so much I guess.
One of the blandest sets for Land cards in years to be honest.
Afaik both Cabal Stronghold and the blue land land that lets you draw 2 cards refer to such lands (Coffers & Academy).Quote:
