*whistles* A mini-Oracle of Mul Daya for 3 mana, with an anti-aggro sized butt and a life gain ability to boot? This thing is going to be pricey. Granted it doesn't let you play an extra land like Oracle does, but being able to get this down turn 3 and then draw nothing but gas until it dies is fantastic. Not to mention it will block almost any 2-drop in the format and live through most removal... Between this and Sylvan Caryatid I could see creature-based green ramp decks coming back in a big way.
As a connoisseur of fun, interesting matches, I still to this day have not been able to craft that "perfect deck"; the deck that I can play and have fun over time, doesn't get boring, but simultaneously is fun to play against. I honestly don't think it exists. It's like a unicorn. A ninja unicorn.
Maybe he didn't know how to post images?
I'm pretty sure he cleared his post... Would this be worth asking a mod to just put that card in there since the thread is here?

I like this card!! Anti-Aggro stats, and draw only gas; just like someone said earlier. His double Devotion points are pretty nice! Helping out the Nykthos love as well as the Green gods.
The only downside is that if you Scry and keep something, your opponent can see it. And they have rights to see everything you draw as long as he's on the table (only when you draw it though).
This card is by far my favorite of the set so far.
Agree, this card fits everything I like in Kruphix.
Except... He doesn't go with Kiora's ability to "Explore" at all; if you have played a land and have one on top of your library, her ability will draw you a card (that land) first then allow you to play an extra land. Kind of annoying...

Generally speaking wouldn't you see that you have a land on top of your library BEFORE you play a land? So you could play the one ontop of your library and leave the one in your hand for kiora's ability? (unless the next card is a land as well then you're doomed)

Wouldn't the end result be the same either way? You play the land, and the card underneath it is on the top of your library revealed. If Kiora didn't make you draw a card you would simply play the land off the top and reveal the next card.
I guess it negates the card draw from Kiora's ability, is that what you were getting at?
This card is good. High toughness makes it a solid blocker in the early game, so you can live long enough to make use of any ramp effects, and to top that off it can gain you some life as the game goes long, which is not to be discounted. It's pretty solid with Kiora, good with any Green God, and has appeal in both Standard and casual formats. It's not Oracle of Mul Daya, but it is still quite good.

Wha-? Uh... carry the 2, 7... 12... Ya, that works.
I guess I just forgot that things can be played in different orders. For this to bite you you'd have to have 2 lands on top in a row.
I really think this card has potential. So many abilities on a devoted 2/4 body means it should see play in midrange decks. So far, only Elvish Mystic to curve into it on turn 2 ( which may be a good thing from power level of current 3 drops on he format).

No, you can't. It's not Oracle of Mul Daya.
Cool, thanks. That's what I thought, would be overpowered at 3 mana if that was the case.
Did you accidentally post a fake card or something?
Art is life itself.

It's real. It's from the prematurely released Born of the Gods release notes which was just recently taken down from the Mothership.
