IT SAIDS LANDS! NOT BASIC LANDS! WE GOT ANOTHER Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth AND Cabal coffers FINDER!

Wow this is a commander staple in all green decks imo

Find ALL the lands!!! \m/

Smells like a cycle with flavor text "I bring a (X) that no (Y) can (Z).".

pretty good.

i don't think its a staple at all, but i'm having trouble describing why.

sure, it can get your coffers/urborg, or your cradle, or your whatever you need, but there's a lot of options for that in green already. maybe its that to get just 2 lands to hand this thing costs 2GG plus it won't do anything unless you can play a land that turn so its a sink to just jam lands into your hand to hope that no one can respond if you can't dump them out that turn or something... i don't know

it just feels like one of those gotcha cards that everyone goes OMG OMG OMG OMG SO GOOD STAPLE OMG I'M RUNNING IT EVERYWHERE OMG YOU'RE SO WRONG ITS SO GOOD and then in a month you see it nowhere and its 50 cents.

edit: though i do probably jam it into tatyova because she uses lands to combo out. can't think of any of the other 7 green decks i've got for edh where i'd want to run it because cuts are just so tight

It is very good. I mean even the option that can take care of flying creature is solid. If this is a cycle than let's wait for the white one... Life gain!

Hn story wise it seems like the gods are fighting each other.

I think this one is good because it’s got the second option. If it were just the lad thing it wouldn’t be as good.

Oh oh oh gross combo alert
search the lands then just let manabond resolve as yes I will reveal

And heck maybe it’s a cycle

I don’t know if I’d call that a gross combo so much as it’s just Manabond is a decent card.

I instantly thought of New Frontiers after reading the first ability on this. The second is merely a glorified Heaven // Earth or Corrosive Gale-type effect.

If Landfall makes a comeback in Zendikar Rising then I'm sure this may sneak into some decks provided LF is attached to decent effects.

'buster

Looks like G and R are getting the power in this set.

Amazing art. I wonder if it is a cycle. Hopefully so. Could this be depicting the gods charging into battle against the titans? I love how the creatures steadily lead up to Nylea orchestrating the charge

I kind of hope this is a cycle of cards

Same, can't wait to be disappointed at the White one.

The fact that it searches for any land, not just basics, extra spicy. Like you might as well just pay 3GG and tutor up a Cavern of Souls, a Boseiju, Who Shelters All, and a Gaea's Cradle.

As an "Instant" this would be interesting.

As it is, its a slow card and narrow as you really need a reason to tutor lands to your hand, otherwise play Scapeshift and just win with that lands.

Definitely going to find a home in my Lord Windgrace build. The deck lacks fliers, so the potential wrath effect is very good, and also the land search? Busted.

Even better... Gain X Life or prevent X damage.

Find X Enchantments? Wishful thinking but I can hope.

If the first mode is for searching...

White = Enchantments
Blue = (Instants? Sorceries?)
Black = Creatures
Red = Artifacts
Green = Lands

(If one searched for planeswalkers, that would be obscene)

Although I'm not setting my hopes high as Wizards has broken cycles in the past. Plenty of times of "Wow this card looks like its part of a cycle" then the reveal is no, it wasn't.

Yeah I don’t think they’re going to make a cycle of X spell tutors in a format with Nyx Lotus and Nissa. The first mode of this searches for lands because that’s not especially powerful.

At least in Standard. Could you imagine tron running this? X = 1/2/3 based on what tron lands you don't already have.

I think Tron would rather stick to Sylvan Scrying. This costing 3 for one land seems pretty expensive for them.
