Draw X Cards. If X is 10 or more, instead shuffle your graveyard into your library, draw X cards, untap up to 5 lands, and you have no maximum hand size for the rest of the game.
Exile Finale of Revelation.
Ugin saw the gem that connected Bolas to his Meditation Realm as the key to his brother's downfall.
I guess this confirms the "Finale of [Amonkhet/Hour of Devastation hour]" cycle. This is really interesting and could serve as a powerful card draw engine in the right deck, although I don't think this quite replaces Stroke of Genius or Blue Sun's Zenith, since it can't be a win condition (by decking your opponent).

Seems safe and underwhelming at first glance since XUU to untap only five lands can be blah, but in ye old High Tide engine this has real power since you can go off as early as turn 6 and it draws you waaaay more cards than Time Spiral. I imagine this will become a staple of all Ux combo-ish spellslinger decks. What'll be interesting is to see if it also becomes a major player in 'Tron or Amulet decks in Modern.
Also this confirms the "Finale" cycle we had spoiled the other day, which means Green gets a spicy new GSZ clone.

I feel like this is probably going to see more play in Vintage than in Modern (since Tolarian Academy is a thing that exists there), but I'd love to be wrong.

This is an interesting spell, glad it refills your library before you draw those 10+ cards. The Gem of Becoming by lore is the Myojin of Night's Reach's Divinity Counter that Bolas took from it.
Also that this is basically Praetor's Counsel but better and in a more fitting color.
Eh, needing to get to X=10 to get the hand-size rule (the main parallel with Praetor's Counsel) is a pretty big difference, especially given that methods that can freecast sorceries can make Counsel fire in full, but result in a useless X=0 on this.
This reminds me of the button on Lord Zed's nigh unstoppable fighters' chest. The power rangers could only defeat them by ... punching or kicking the button.
The gem is the mcguffin to Lord Bolas's downfall! Hilarious
There was a guy here who had an image with "the fall of Bolas" or something like that and an arrow pointing at that gem in his signature since alara. Where is he now?

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.

I used to be a world champion, but then I took a wolf to the knee. And three Galvanic Blasts to the face.
Concerning when returning to Kamigawa would be acceptable
As for the lore in flavor text. What is this "gem" that Ugin saw?

I mean, it´s even possible to chain it into itself in a tron deck
cast it for 12 mana, untap 5 tron lands, draw 10, if another copy is at hand, cast it again for the lulz, untap again.
do whatever you want.

For the great Miss Y!
Thanks for that info. So he has a weakness after all.
Ugin also has the advantage that Bolas does not know he is still alive.

Truly killing him didnt work the first time already.
They have a tendency to put the big bad enemy in some kind of hibernation (Emrakul in the moon) for later re-use.
