There was a time that 4BB 5/5, with "Fear" and a VERY usefull ability were great. That time has gone but i still loved the card and will try to play it as hard as i can.
The blue card is a little overpowered to me. But i will not be the one to bring up the power creep thread.
Can't wait until someone leaves a Lotus Bloom in their yard in EDH whilst I'm playing Geth
Steal Bloom for B, sac for BBB, repeat, reanimate all graveyards and mill all oponents... Seems harsh!
Since it comes into play tapped, hard to repeat, you'll need amulet of vigor in play. Also, since both lotus bloom and black lotus have CMC = 0, while you could get infinite mana with the above, you'd never actually mill their library, since both cards have CMC = 0 and will therefore put 0 more cards into their graveyard
People seem to be missing out on this whole "Target card with CMC X" part.

I'm pretty sure that he meant he'll reanimate eveything in the graveyards with the infinite mana from Lotus Bloom... which WOULD mill the opponents.

And the lotus is rotating the instant this set comes out, so it doesn't do much good.
Really hope I get Geth in limited... Man he's so good. Mill away their answers and take the big fatties. Intimidate is useless since probably 45% of the set is either black or artifact. But seems cool anyway. Awesome EDH general though the zombie dragon is a better one I think.
I think the lord has some cool abilities. We'll have to see how things turn out with the set to see if he's constructed playable.

Sheesh the blue lord type creature is just nasty good, wow i did not think wizards would actually print this type of card, But the black zombie is meh really i think it should have been a rare not a mythic for what it does, it would be twice as valuable.
Did people not get the memo about legends being mythics? We've had 30 legendary creatures printed since the mythic rarity was introduced, and all but seven of them were printed at mythic. Geth is a major character in both Mirrodin blocks who's never gotten a card before, it would be ridiculous for him to be printed at anything lower.
Geth seems great as a 2-of (maybe sideboard) in my BW midrange/control deck.
When games with that deck go long, I find myself with way too much mana and not enough cards in hand. Geth provides a solution to BOTH those problems.
Geth is . . . boring? A big, walking head that reanimates and mills . . . is boring? And doesn't deserve to be mythic??? IT'S A BIG, WALKING HEAD THAT REANIMATES AND MILLS!
Those Eldrazi . . . I don't know. They're just giant monsters that do something when they're played and then more stuff when they attack. And have some sort of other ability. And have a major role in the storyline. They definitely don't deserve to be mythics.
Geth suits my fancy just fine. Although flying over fear would have made him so much better but he's still a fun card. The Architect will be used and abused I'm sure. I can't wait to see if the other colors are getting that support

Just for the fact that this guy has that ability and is a ZOMBIE, I find him twice as awesome for that fact alone. <here is a stupid, big fan of Undead Warchief>
Geth and the Architect seem really cool... Blue lord ftw... The architect seems really cruel with faeries... It'll be interesting to see if the fae use this thing to power out [EDIT: Wurmcoil engine and other artifact creatures] in the upcoming extended.
The Grand Architect makes this architect jealous. What? I can't tap unnecessarily long words for mana? Other than a name that I absolutely love, this card has an ability that I absolutely love. My Johnny mind is buzzing with possibilities for all that mana... What it can only be spent on the most degenerate card type in the game? Oh well
Ad for Geth, I'm disappointed that he has sided with the Phyrexians. I was hoping that he would represent the B resistance to the corruption, on the grounds that he doesn't want it taking his plane. This also means that the corruption can be reasoned with, an concept that I dislike even more. Oh well, maybe he will turn on them in the future, one can only hope.

I'm psyched about Geth and blue's new lord. Seeing geth also brings me hope that disciple of the vault might appear as well, though I'm not holding my breath.
I may just be echoing everybody else, but I think the blue lord is fantastic. I feel like that will see great play, especially if we keep seeing other good blue cards coming from the set.
I don't really agree with the mythic rarity at all. I feel like it's vary out of place with no other zombies around. Also, the mill deck is so weak right now in standard that I just don't see a point. Timmy loves it though.

Tap an untapped blue creature you control: Add 2 to your mana pool. Spend this mana only to cast artifact spells or activate abilities of artifacts.
Yeah, like he said, it makes them a piece of cake.
Because the cake is a lie.
