It could work a bit like a second rate mono-color Engineered Explosives with potential against cc-less tokens, flipped delvers, Chrome Mox, and true-name nemesis.Originally Posted by Barook
I'm sure you'd have an equally shitty time if you tried to shove Grapeshot into a URx Delver build.
Regardless of how you choose to do it, sleve up Deliver and your going to have a shitty time.
When Chandra was spoiled (Around a week back) there was a few people who thought about using her in Modern Storm. She can deal 5 damage herself and that's not a small thing.
What do people think of this? I mean its unlikely to see a lot of play, but it is interesting space to work in and I like where it is going. Lets you fetch and save a creature, not sure how often that is worth a non dual, ETB Taped non basic.
It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.
I hope your afterlife is filled with eternal torment.
Fuck. Which one of my quotes do I drop for this?
Probably right. Its a shitty card and I wont defend it further, though I wouldn't be surprised to see it in a combo sideboard.
So, any bets on dual lands this set?
I absolutely love the card design and art. Obviously will play nicely with Snapcaster Mage.Regardless of how you choose to do it, sleve up Deliver and your going to have a shitty time.

^That card is most probably fake. Lots of red flags.
Jeff Simpsom? Not to mention its using the wrong font for the artist name.
Tapping for U should be in reminder text similar to shocklands or Murmuring Bosk.
Full card name is used twice in the text box.
Reserved Gilded Drakes just in case. if that thing is real, it will be the end of aggro strategies, MUD and reanimate would also be dead lol.
EDIT:
Confirmed fake
1. Copyright text is in Beleren, should be Plantin.
2. Collector number & set code look to be Arial, should be Gotham Medium
3. No idea what the hell that is between the set and language codes, but it's not a dot or star
4. The card itself is implausible; it has no upside, the drawback is the only thing about it.
5. It has the subtype Island, the mana ability should be reminder text.
6. Artist name misspelled (and the wrong artist).

"4. The card itself is implausible; it has no upside, the drawback is the only thing about it."
Is this guy on the Sally smoking some dank shit? This card is almost all upside; it's a fetchable Unsummon for cryin' out loud! Something beating you down under the protection of 3Sphere, Lodestone, or some other Stax effect? No problemo, just lay a fetch, crack it and PRESTO! Threat temporarily neutralized! Thalia getting Storm down? Well now that Delta drawn off of AN isn't so useless.
Also I think this design is believable. Allied fetches are in Standard now, and a lot of folks are almost certain the enemy fetches will see reprints in the upcoming Battle for Zendikar. Fetchable lands with effects are an interesting design space that Wizards might want to explore, and you can never put it past them to not make the Blue fifth of a cycle head-and-shoulders above them.
Food for thought: Origin's Chandra was spoiled about two months ago, yet everyone called it fake at the time because of the typical reasons (bad mockup), but the spoiler was right on point. This could be a similar case.
Yea sorry, I have found it is confirmed fake. But fuck this is a space to play in. Really, I hope they Wizards does something in this space.

Preferably something that is not an Island. Like, I don't know, good green lands that actually do something?
I'm not into blue fetches grabbing that thing, but in general, why are the cards from WotC shittier than the ones from the shitty card creation thread and from fakes?
Got to make people chase dem rares.I'm not into blue fetches grabbing that thing, but in general, why are the cards from WotC shittier than the ones from the shitty card creation thread and from fakes?

No good green lands?
I think he meant special non-basic forests so that they could be fetched. More like Dryad Arbor or Murmuring Bosk.

These are far back in the past. If you'd note:
The point is to get new interesting cards, not that good green lands don't exist.
Almost, but a bit off. Ideally I'd want lands that do not produce blue. If fetchable, make them monocolored.
The idea came from seeing that land and a bit in one recent article by Ross Merriam. He noted that far from wanting less lands, ramp decks actually want more so the ramp actually matters. This of course leads to nasty manafloods that make you brick games, which you need mana sinks to mitigate. The best kind of sink is obviously a land because you have to play a lot of them. Couple that with green's color pie shares traditionally being about ramping with mana generators and all manner of shenanigans related to lands - hell, their draw spells typically can only ever find creatures and lands (thanks WotC -_-). It would make so much sense to have a part of green's card share just be lands that do stuff. It would emphasize the color's unique character and help give an alternate angle at consistency across formats.
Surprised no one pointed out the red flag of "legendary land".
Why is that a red flag?
Because it has been repeatedly been stated by Wizards and reflected in their design that legendary lands are unhealthy and unfun.
Fuck if I agree with it, but it's their policy.
They have said this, but Nykthos has shown they are willing to do it anyway.
