Also very important note is that this isn't legendary. Someone can run a full 4 of these and not worry about duplication issues like with some lands recently.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
It's solid, I wanted Crystal Quarry in modern and this is better. Will really help the various 5C decks I was trying to build.
Based on the flavour text, I would not be surprised if Bolas entombed the original God-Pharaoh and is using its power to power the Hekma and such. In which case, that might also explain by everything is so brutal, because Bolas seized control and said so. A non-walker God-Pharaoh would be a pretty good candidate for a 5-color god card.
Strangely enough I think the Indestructible keyword will prove what makes this card in eternal formats. Not a lot of indestructible lands out there.

Playing since 1994: Currently MAGS (HomeBrew),Standard & Pauper (Pioneer and Modern are degenerate trash formats)
STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Just ordered 28 for the guys who play Commander at my shop (just a convenience thing so they're easy for them to get, selling them for what I paid -$3 each)
Wonder if the Indestructible on it is for flavor or mechanical reasons. Maybe for eternal play so you don't worry about Ghost Quarter or Fulminator Mage.
You can also use Ghost Quarter targeting your own cataracts as ramp.
That's not ramp, though? You're turning your Ghost Quarter into a basic, so you come out neutral.
Okay, true. I guess I was thinking of it in my Sun Titan package (or with Rings of Brighthearth). But it is mana fixing. Useful in Commander if you want to a) play 3+ colors, b) play a bunch of cards like Grave Pact and Furnace of Rath, or c) use Krond the Dawn-Clad as a Commander.
(I was also thinking of Path to Exile on a token at the time, which is ramp. Huge brain fart about how my mind went there.)
It's just giving it a second life as Evolving Wilds, but that's in addition to its primary application as nonbasic hate.
Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

Tron modern is the right term.
Because then you non Eldrazi titans with that.

On phasing:
Honestly this even works in mono-color decks like Red with Wildfire using artifacts to ramp.
