Worldwake is right around the corner and we're bringing back one of your favorite promotions - The Worldwake Buy-a-Box Promotion. Now is your chance to sign up to get your promotional kit, including the Twenty (20) Celestial Colonnade promo cards. Scheduling is open now!
Looks... interesting, I guess. More ally-coloured dualtaps, and manlands to boot. Not as cool as Day of Judgement or Honor of the Pure, but not a bad card nonetheless, especially considering I play a WUR control deck - more WU taps can never be a bad thing
I really like the card. Really, really do. This is something Control players love (and It can't be Pulsed!)
Good thing I pre-ordered 2 boxes from my friendly neighborhood card shop yesterday.

I pre-ordered two boxes a good month ago, it's the best way to get cards, and the promo cards are just double the incentive. I'm all for a WU manland to slide into my deck, especially one so playable I'm very interested to see the rest of the cycle, I've got good hopes for Worldwake to bring some great cards to standard.
kinda disappointing, although this replaces Gargoyle castle in any control deck (if they even ran it to begin with...
You're severely underestimating how good this card is... a mana fixing manland with vigilance that doesn't need to be sacrificed for the (removable) creature. Gargoyle Castle doesn't even come close to comparing. The only problem I have to worry about now is making sure I open two more in my boxes!
It's a no-brainer to slide 4 of these things into a control deck.
I believe that this is the fattest, and most expensive to activate, man land to date.
The fact that it color fixes is just gravy.
I like it! Thanks for the info.
Tomb of Urami makes a bigger creature, but requires a sacrifice and Nantuko Monastery makes a 4/4 as well, but it requires threshold.
I'm really hoping that the cycle covers all 10 color pairs, but likely it'll be 5 as it's in a small set. Still, it should be interesting as I think this card is quite good.
I'm betting the abilities on the creature align to these:
W - vigilance U - flying B - intimidate (which would actually be worse on a multicolor creature) R - first strike (haste makes no sense on a manland) G - trample (I'd love if it were troll-shroud)
They did similarly with the shadowmoor scarecrows ( http://magiccards.info/shm/en/259.html ) so I could see them doing something similar with these. (I swore that there other cycles in recent memory where this was done.)
perfect, PERFECT control card!
it's a land that acts as a finisher without requiring you to dedicate md slots to a finisher itself, in the current standard where control decks are playing sejiri refuge, this card is and AMAZING replacement!
can't wait to see the R/B one!

Oh, the PDF. Right.

Sig by the Great R&Doom!
*Preorders a box*
I was planning on buying a box of WWK as my first, but this definitely seals the deal.
Sick!!!!

Well...... technically it's colorless
