Most likely he's using some form of colorless magic to heal Ugin, akin to Tomb of the Spirit Dragon (maybe not the best example) or one of many, many lifegain artifacts printed throughout Magic's history. It's worth noting how KTK has a full cycle of lands that heal you when they ETB, and we also have lifegain on Radiant Fountain (not to mention Glimmerpost, though that isn't standard legal at this time). One begins to think a lifegain matters mechanic is in KTK's future...

MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

We may get a spoiler for Christmas (like Kiora last year),
but the bulk of them will start in January, roughly two weeks before the set releases.
Given the prerelease is the 16th of January I think the 29th is the absolute latest they'd start. Which puts it inline with the previous article schedule, but I don't know what they plan on doing with New Years. They skipped most of that week.
I think we'll get the Planeswalker guide and prerelease info the week of the 15th,
FRF will be my first pre-release and I'm really excited for it. As a history and mythology geek, I have to wonder if they'll give Abzan a creature/dragon or artifact like the Ottoman Turks' cannon that brought down one of Constantinople's walls.
The next two weeks are going to be "Best Of" weeks to allow the people who make the website to have some time off for the holidays. Each columnist will be selecting his top two columns of the year. Then, in three weeks, previews for Fate Reforged begins.
FRF will be my first pre-release and I'm really excited for it. As a history and mythology geek, I have to wonder if they'll give Abzan a creature/dragon or artifact like the Ottoman Turks' cannon that brought down one of Constantinople's walls.
Well all the best. I know you'll enjoy yours as much as I did mine with Lorwyn prerelease!
Sarkhan can heal people now? Judging by what's implied to happen he's apparently better at using heal spells to save a planeswalker than Ajani
Well Sarkhans magic is about dragons which could include healing them and he also has green in him from his lst card and healing magic is white/green.

First come the goblins. Hordes of them. But soon the ramp produced by xenagos attracts monstrous token-producing hydras. Towering over the battlefield, these 12-headed killing machines are protected 2 archetypes of endurance as they crash any resistence left
I know that FRF is supposed to be drafted together with Khans. I am planing on buying a Booster box FRF as a late christmas present for myself and I thought about drafting it together with friends instead of just opening them alone. Do you think the set will be draftable by itself? Or will it be a complete mess since the cards from Khans are needed in order for FRF to be a working Draft set?

Yikes. The only thing worse than a sexless marriage is a stale metagame at home. When that happens, it's time to sideboard a mistress or two.

It shouldn't be a mess, it's just that will likely miss the depth the normal structure had to offer, which means generally more aggro. I used to draft a Dark Ascension box with friends since we couldn't get an Innistrad box in time, it was still OK.
Do you think those alternate art cards are only going to be available in those Fate boosters, which are only available as prizes and only contain two cards each? And the odds of opening a given rare in a pack with only two cards? Whoa, those cards seem like they would be hellishly rare, I won't get my hopes up for pimp Deltas, but I do feel strangely tempted to attend the pre-release now.
Edit: For those of you who have attended more pre-releases than me, are achievements/activities like that usually hard or easy to accomplish?
I don't think they are prizes i think they come in the prerelease box, hopefully whenever they do the article detailing FRF prerelease we'll get an answer. (If it is true that some of those cards are FRF s well KTK) it'll call get spoiled in an article late first week or early second.
I'll say this though. I really hope they don't include alternate art for the Fetches that's going to drive prereleases insane.
ugh tomorrow morning it is.
I'm surprised no one's found a related website spoiler yet. They usually still go up at midnight. We really should have a list of places that get spoilers
Ok i have a question about them reprinting fetch lands to in every pack of fate reforged i am guaranteed to get one fetch land like flooded strand in each booster pack? and if it is not this way what are the chances of getting fetch land like polluted delta.?
