Well, if you look just at the backside of westvale abbey, that is Ormendahl, Profane Prince you would also find it amazing and busted (though to me both are just mindless beatsticks, not sure what is getting people so excited). It remains to be seen how easy it is to flip into this thing. My guess is: "extremely hard".

Would you like to read Commander stories? Check my latest stories, coming from Lorwyn and Innistrad: Ghoulcaller Gisa and Doran, The Siege Tower! If you like my writing, ask me to write something for your commander as well!
Holy ***** Emmy's brood is giving Phyrexia a run for their money in the body horror department. I was skeptical about Emmy's presence in Innistrad but the things shes causing is really making me excited for it. PLEASE don't go out like a chump like the other titans...
hi, this is mtg, welcome to the game, where this ability will come with conditions that reduce the actual power level to unplayable outside of draft, because good cards, our overlords tell us are no fun
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.
Standard: Superfriends!
Legacy: Nic Fit / Pod
Pauper: Delvar; Tron; Flicker Stuff
Commander: Riku ("Some weird doubple spell thing happened"); Keranos ("I did a Gatherer search for 'random' and 'flip a coin.'"); Superfriends!

If the front is a land then there are a lot of lands in the set. At collector number 130/205, and with lands being last. More likely an enchantment I would think.

So ALL mtg cards are bad, somehow?
no, but the ones that get played after rotation tend to be mistakes and the VAST majority of any set these days at any rarity below mythic tends to be draft fodder. It MIGHT be good, or you know, broken, but the numbers favor it being bulk

It's red on the back side. (Or should I say front side?)

Anyway, for those hoping the front side of Hanweir is multicoloured or colourless, stop now. It doesn't fit the number crunch with a collectors number of #130.
...more seriously, it's interesting that the backside of the card has haste when Vildin-Pack Alpha didn't get the same treatment. Maybe the condition that flips it can be achieved the turn you drop it into play, like Westvale Abbey?
I think that basically has to be it. It must be a transform you can trigger immediately, else why have haste?
Or the transform trigger is a death/destruction trigger and it re-enters the battlefield transformed, like Accursed Witch and Harvest Hand.
If I had to guess, I'd maybe say it's an aura that enchants a land, then maybe when that land is put into the graveyard from the battlefield the aura comes back transformed into Hanweir, the Writhing Township.
I love the art, the one thing that bothers me is the size of the buildings versus the people in the eldrazi ooze. Did it absorb a scale model of the city, or were the villagers secretly giants?

I think the art is suffering from foreshortening, and the core blob is much further back than it might appear.

Aye, that's probably what it is. You can see what looks like a horse statue in the upper right. Scale of everything is just weird.

I agree that statistically any card is more likely to be bulk than staple... but that's not a failure with design, but rather, the nature of the meta. If you designed ALL cards to be "good" for what you currently perceive as such and released them in a set, you can bet that the metagame would be composed of only the 10% most broken of them all and the rest would be bulk.(If every 3 CMC creature is 4/4, players will only play with the one that is 5/5 for that same cost.) This has been true for every set, from the most beloved to the most despised.
Besides, there are tons of cards in the current meta that are good and were designed to be good. Of course, mistakes will be the most played staples, but that only means that they were mistakenly made overpowered in development, not that WotC's "good designs" are only accidental flukes. When there are no major developmental mistakes, the best cards of a set are exactly the ones that WotC made so.

“I write this entry from atop the Hanweir wall. I find it amusing and self-congratulatory that not only dad my village secede from Videns Parish and Gavony, but we felt arrogant enough to name our (one-town) province of Hanweir. If we used a currency, would it be called the Hanweir? Are the individual streets to be renamed Hanweir? Am I Hanweir?..."

it will be impossible to flip, since nothing has used the flip mechanic since kamigawa block

I'm on the same boat too
And are number cruncher also agrees with it being red on the other side

At first, I thought the kid in the foreground had two heads....
But it's a kid piggyback riding another kid.

Oliver told us exactly what would be happening.

Yes, Oliver.
Yes you are.
