Oh look, they decided to continue Zendikar's theme of ruining otherwise good land art with geometric crap. First hedrons, now cryptolyphs. God dammit WotC.
Also this is all they're spoiling today? Not a bad card but that's all we get after waiting a weekend?

Sin Prodder feels great. An additional mana and +1/+1 to Dark Confidant's card, without the damage done to you. Sure, the opponent can chose, but if they take three for say an instant or sorcery, I can just replay it with Goblin Dark-Dwellers later.
You better hope your opponent isn't playing a land destruction deck when you cast Sin Prodder, because you won't be drawing many lands for the rest of the game.

Yeah, the cryptoliths are so prominent and disruptive in the arts.... /sarcasm
Seriously, hedrons - yes. But the cryptolits seem almost organic, and look exactly the amount of alien as they shall.
The lands are simply beautiful. And the green cards...well, this set is going to be a blast.
And Sin Prodder...yuck. This card has hardly a downside.

So Green White Investigate humans might be a thing. You already get a benefit of saccing Clues, but now you get to add counters to a creature or put a 1/1 white soldier on to the field. Add to the fact that we have the Thalia's Lieutentant, and we can push through more damage. Still might be a little slow, but could be a fun deck

Yea, those are MTG Bars. What can I say, I am a dork
Sin Prodder is yet another trap/"punisher" card. You'll never get what you want from it.
You get a 3/2 menace for 3, which is already playable in mono red decks. Your opponent doesn't control that.
Damage to the player+cards in graveyard (for whatever synergy reasons) is one upside that'll usually be relevant, and extra cards in hand is almost always relevant.
These cards are FUNNNNN. Not perfect, not necessarily 4-ofs in modern... But cards I want to open in limited and play with. Glad to see they're successfully capturing that aspect of Innistrad in this return.

You still get your regular draw for the turn, so you'll still be drawing as much land as you normally would.

Gives longevity to a creature gameplan, let's you be very flexible with your mana, works great alone or in multiples, can be good both early and late.
I would class this card as one to watch, it strikes me as above the curve.

Punisher stuff usually sucks,
but Vexing Devil has shown it isn't always unplayable,
and this seems to be in a similar vein.

The their forest in the OP has a cryptolih snack in the middle of it.
I'm just glad it's one per land type instead of Zendikar polluting the otherwise amazing landscapes with hedrons.
You get a 3/2 menace for 3, which is already playable in mono red decks. Your opponent doesn't control that.
Damage to the player+cards in graveyard (for whatever synergy reasons) is one upside that'll usually be relevant, and extra cards in hand is almost always relevant.
Exactly.
"I reveal... Lightning Bolt!"
"I guess I'll take 1 to bin it."
"I reveal... Tarmogoyf!"
"You know what to do."
I'm just not seeing the appeal.
You still get your regular draw for the turn, so you'll still be drawing as much land as you normally would.
