Very very fun commander in an Elemental theme. I think it'll see Standard play just for pooping out 5/5s with fetchands and the lightning bolt whenever any of them die.
Plus, Whisperwood Elemental is an elemental! As is Gaea's Revenge!
Never mind that. I think the important thing is that Jackie Lee confirmed during this card's spoiler that Rampant Growth is coming back to standard. Were we certain before that it would be reprinted?
She might have been talking about Rampant Growth-like effects.
This lends a little credence to the guy that said he saw the lands, a RG Omnath, and a white Gideon ally planeswalker.
What did he say the lands did?
Allied-coloured with basic land types. Come into play tapped unless you control 2+ basic lands.
Beat met to it. I'm not sure how playable they will be, but that is for another thread in the rumor mill. However, it seems much more likely they are real now.
I don't want to discuss what he said in the Omnath thread, but they may unlock his theard or start a new one. If you go down the thread topics a bit you can read about it.
Id like to point out that smokebraider ramps into him and incandescent soulstoke cheats him in for 2 mana and gets free damage from triggers. Still dont like that 7 mana cost though

Decks I have in my bag of tricks- Needless to say, someone who wants to play will probably have a deck UB/x Faeries UR Storm XURWB Affinity G Elves UW control
Definitely cool RG card. All around pretty good; even cooler in a deck with an elemental theme. Definitely will throw one into my Xenagos EDH deck just for another huge threat.
I love how many combos this creature have. Lanfall, Elemental Tribal, making Elemental that helps trigger its second ability, triggeren its second ability when it dies.
4-mana, 4 loyalty.
+1: Becomes a 5/5 indestructible ally soldier.
-4: Put an emblem that gives +1/+1 to all your creatures.
We don't know the other ability.
-lets Crater Elemental kill X/7s (Tasigur and Rhino aren't as big a deal with Omnath on the field, but it might make a difference) or multiple creatures off the one sac effect
-bestest friends with Whisperwood Elemental
-might make Embodiment of Spring a real card: helps ramp into Omnath, late-game becomes a 5/5 plus a Bolt with Omnath already on the field
And that's apart from the rather-likely high number of Elementals in BFZ itself. Whether this sees play will depend on how hard ramp ends up getting pushed, but I've got my hopes up.

Omnath, Locus of Rage 3RRGG - Mythic Rare
5/5
Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, put a 5/5 red and green Elemental creature token onto the battlefield.
Whenever Omnath, Locus of Rage or another Elemental you control dies, Omnath deals 3 damage to target creature or player.

Wonder how gold new Zendikar will be, original was largely monocolored, if I recall correctly.
