Pilgrim's Eye becomes an uncommon - could it really be too strong for a common in limited?
And the land seems qute good, 1-2 of in UX control decks in standard, but the cost is probably too high for Modern. You need this and 6 other mana sources, that's quite a lot. The effect is very strong though, could some kind of blue tron play 1?
This set doesn't have 3 color cards and has evolving wilds. The fixing is fine for limited. This land is awesome for control.
It does have a mechanic that cares about how many colors were used to cast a spell and an Ally tribal that is in every color. Could be that there are still distinct two color themes going on, of course. We have yet to see many of the commons/uncommons that will define the set.
I was hoping the remaining land slots are some kind of mana fixers in common or uncommon slot. This one is good, but now I'm starting to worry about the stabilization in limited.
That is a very good point. I have no idea how converge is supposed to work in limited. We have Evolving Wilds as our only reliable mana fixing at this point.
TBH I think most cards we have seen with converge are all fine even in a 2 color deck (though they certainly aren't exciting in such a deck)...
Is it possible that the third "manland" could be named something that starts BEFORE Ally Encampment? Like Aggressive Sandsteppe or something like that? That would mean there were only 5 Artifacts, but it would fit the Number Crunch.
Hadn't noticed that... now I'm really hoping it's not Pilgrim's Eye (though it probably is)

I'm pretty sure the most of the fixing in limited will be via land tutoring any splash colors you may have a la pilgrim's eye, rampant growth reprint, etc.. Makes a lot of sense given the landfall mechanic returning. I also like that idea because all mana fixing also just being solid ramp since it crosspolinates over many archetypes. Me gusta.

Looks pretty schmexxy to me, especially if control has a natural desire to move to higher land counts after rotation. 7 and sac a land is a lot for Weave Fate, but if I can put it into play to make mana until I'm ready to use it? Sign me up!
Based on the Number Crunch, if all five "Blighted" lands are in BFZ we wont get anymore manlands until Oath.
That's pretty much confirmed that the manland cycle is spread over the two sets.
Yes but I was expecting one more in this set considering it's a bigger set than Oath. They should have at least put w/r or u/r to have all five colors represented.

Sorry to say this I don't care about your deck these lands are great
It does have a mechanic that cares about how many colors were used to cast a spell and an Ally tribal that is in every color. Could be that there are still distinct two color themes going on, of course. We have yet to see many of the commons/uncommons that will define the set.

Almost certainly. Text lines up perfectly with the commander version, even the 2 lines of lore text, and the lore text makes perfect sense.

If you've seen them all, do share. The blue one is great, if the white one sacs itself to righteous charge for six mana it's garbage.
