I think this card is awesome and WILL see constructed play.... 3 for 3 damage is alright. But colourless damage means protection is no longer that much a biggy, which is why I am glad it is 3 damage rather than 2, heh 4 damage would be better but that might make it better than char lol
Well the morph land is going to be different. If you happen to draw into 2 of them, you can play a land and 2 land morphers

I think both are nicely designed, although I'm not sure I would play either of them outside of limited. A colourless spell is something almost ever amateur designer has come up with at some point... glad to see Wizards get with the 90s!
Ghostfire- we knew we like, interesting a colorless futureshifted frame and a red cost, the picture a flavortext seem pretty weak though.
Zoetic Cavern- wow the rumoured morph land is a colourless land with morph2, useful card its either a land if you need mana or latter on its a morph which if targetted by removal or threatened by wrath effects or dying from combat damage can turn itself into a land. Since morph doesn't use the stack its one of the few cards which can negate the usefulness of sudden shock/death.
zoetic cavern is awesome. a land that you can play as 2/2 beater late game.

“Game over,” Lursen said. “Demon’s Horn.”
Demon’s Horn has a reputation in multiplayer games, Lursen said.“Usually if somebody in multiplayer plays a Demon’s Horn, we all just immediately attack that person, because he’s going to win,” Lursen said.
I would guess that the second pic, the one of the elf holding the newly sprouting plant, is Llanowar Auger, especially considering the flavor text: I am irrelevant. The future I hold in my hand is everything.
Edit: also I would guess that the fourth pic, with the figure on the leaf is Dryad Arbor. (His hair and clothing look a lot like branches coming from him).... I suppose that if this is the pic for Dryad Arbor, then Dryad Arbor really is a 'manland' and not a 'womanland' or whatever
That ghostflame will be pretty good for limited, and decent for constructed. The art is like someone is fading away until the face is all that remains.

With all, put the same thing except with / in front of what type of tags they are (like [/card]) to close them.
Card: [card]
Hybrid: :symub: = order doesn't matter
Were there any other full card scans displayed in the podcast? Even if we already "know" them, I'd like to know what WotC chose to preview officially. If so, screenshots of these would be welcome.
Just Fleshwrither and Blade of the Sixth Pride.
Rosewater said there were 99 non-timeshifted cards. Does that make the rumored "*****" card timeshifted?
Zoetic Cavern is a nice Limited card, especially for Sealed, since a Gray Ogre is better than an unneeded land, plus it can work as a Morph bluffer. Besides, I just love that weird artwork.
Ghostflame is sweet, and I can see it being used for Constructed, since it gives Red a way to kill that stupid Paladin en-Vec and a CoP won't save you from it.
Here's the list of keywords rattled off on the podcast. Short version: keywords yet to appear in the partial spoiler: Defender, Fear, Indestructible, and two new ones, Fortify and Shroud.
If I play the land as a morph, can it be countered?
Yes. From the Comp Rules:
502.26b To play a card using its morph ability, turn it face down. It becomes a 2/2 face-down creature card... Put it onto the stack (as a face-down spell with the same characteristics), and pay {3} rather than pay its mana cost...
So, effectively you are playing a creature spell (which uses the stack), not a land (which doesn't). It can be acted upon like any other object on the stack, including being countered.
I thought of a morph land when morph first rolled around... i really like that wizards finally made one. but my original hope was for a morph land of each color that was legendary... and morphed for 0.... though this land is still cool a 2/2 creature and accleration if need be... solid.
The art is absolutely beautiful in Future Sight and the images from the podcast prove that. Even if the cards were bad in this set, I would still purchase it for the art - that is the original reason I started collection - art.

Making contraptions, wishing I could make them twice as efficiently.
... If I play the land as a morph, can it be countered?
And the Morph land is so darn awesome
"Your morph creature suddenly dies! HAHAHA!"
"Well, yeah, you break its shell *unmorphs*"
";_;"
Same question here...
UBB Rogues
UUB Faeries
RW Seismic Swans
RRR Control
So yeah, the first ever land that can be countered
And they gave us all the keywords in the st although I hardly have the patience to type them all out..
