In an ally deck there's potential explosiveness with stuff like Mask of the Mimic or Twinflame. Single-target cantrips could do cute stuff. It's kind of lame that Flesh//Blood doesn't work.Originally Posted by Ace/Homebrew
Might actually work in modern? Maybe even
Fetch - Sac - Land - Mana Dork
Fetch - Sac - Land - Mana Dork
Fetch - Sac - Land - Mana Dork - Time of Need
Fetch - Sac - Land - Zada - "target creature/cantrip" - Draw 4 cards - "target creature/cantrip" - Draw 4 cards - Cerulean Wisps - Untap mana dorks - draw 4 cards - Crimson Wisps - draw 4 cards - "target creature/cantrip" - draw 4 cards - Become Immense - Cerulean Wisps/Refocus - untap mana dorks - Draw 4 cards - attack with each creature (hasted) for around 31)
New land is shit.
Awesome.
Yup. Really shit.
Tap to add 2 to your mana pool. Spend it only to cast colourless spells. Activate only if you control 7 or more lands.
Oh Temple, you where so close to making my dreams come true... Oh how I could you have used you in MUD and Shops. So close. So close.
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?
There is actually a tiny 2-card mini cycle that works well with Zada. One is a red lightning bolt that gets duplicated. The other one is white and I think it draws cards. I have to look them up and see if they work right.
"Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
"Politicians are like diapers. They should be changed often and for the same reason."
"Governing is too important to be left to people as silly as politicians."
"Politicians were mostly people who'd had too little morals and ethics to stay lawyers."
So they took Temple of the False God and made it less exciting? Sure, tapping foris huge, but the 7 land and colorless restriction basically kill the card. I'm not even sure the EDH crowd would want this.
Zada + Seize the Day
Are we having fun yet? No? Invigorate?
Tusk up.
Kalastria 1BB
(might be legendary) Creature- Vampire Ally
Flying, First Strike
When ~ deals combat damage to an opponent, put a +1/+1 counter on each attacking creature you control.
2/3
Assuming it's spoiled correctly, it's an interesting card. Evasive, gives Delvers the middle finger thanks to first strike and can permanently pump your entire team before it deals damage. Not sure which Legacy deck would want to run her, but I would definitely keep an eye on her.
Interesting that they are making the allies more playable outside of ally decks.
Just in case you're blocking with either of these creatures?
Honestly, I don't see how it's too much of a leg-up on Vampire Nighthawk.
There are a bunch of cards like that - for example the whole 'wisps' cycle will cantrip. Fundamentally the issue is that you need to have Zada, and a bunch of bodies, and a payoff spell all at the same time.
Do they do this whole "FABULOUS ZENDIKAR ART BOOK!!!!?!?!!1!" for every set and I just haven't noticed? Because, if this is its debut, it's a pretty ironic release.
Soul's Fire . Damn, finding that card was work. If it was priced at 1, perhaps. Why the hell is it 3?

Two targets... doesn't work with Zeda unless you target it with both ends. (Edit: I don't think you can switch either of the targets on the copies.)
Why not Fiery Gambit? Works in my Ink-Treader deck.
Yes, the wisps are in fact better here, I think. I don't recall exactly what I used with Precursor Golem, but that awful red thing was my win con. I think it is better off with Tainted Strike for a goblin token deck, but honestly why argue over bad versus bad.

The art actually looks like could work for Windswept Heath... did they put it on Temple Garden by accident?I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates it. Not only does it suffer from the same problem as the Hallowed Fountain (looking nothing like the place the name describes), but it also looks like shit.
I can neither see a temple, nor a garden. It's a mountain with some green shit slapped on it, some hedrons floating around because "HURR, ZENDIKAR" and the plains part is represented by some random beam of lights.
I have to hand it to WotC! They found a way to make me (their prime market) completely uninterested in hyper-rare full art foil fetch and shock lands.
Behold:
They might as well have named it Turd Mountain, cause that is a heaping pile of shit.
I can hear them discussing the conception with the artist...
WotC: We're trying to make these undesirable to anyone with moderate vision.
Artist: I could make it a bunch of boulders in a tornado!
WotC: Can you make it shittier?
Artist: I'll add hedrons!
WotC: Perfect!
Edit: I feel obligated to clarify that I am not trying to criticize Noah Bradley or suggest his work is poor. I am confident he could create a fantastic Sacred Foundry if he were allowed to.

Because that art just screams "Sacred" and "Foundry" to me.
