I’d love that too, but it’s not usually a priority. Even Theros was neglected underwater.
Oddly enough, Ravnica has some of the most fleshed-out underwater areas
The Theros seas are the ones I want to see most. Especially after reading the descriptions of all of Thassa’s secret dwellings there. I wish we would get more underwater locations on Theros and Zendikar (sunken ruins). I mean we have Jori En and other archaeologists and explorers there. I was really hoping for Kiora to be on Zendikar (which she is in the story) to see more of the submarine locations there.
How can a fantasy game be so constrained that we don’t even visit exotic locations that even real world oceanographers have seen? Hell look how often the Marianas Trench has been visited in the last few years. And in a fantasy game all we can see is a plane’s back yard?
I deffo think Wizards themselves "leaked" this card to appease 2xm backlash, a regular leaker would just leak the entire box as of right now
This is an interesting take. What backlash? The no double boarderless mythic thing? Other than that I've only seen very positive chatter about double masters.
I've seen other leaks where this theory makes sense but it doesn't feel right in this situation.
If this card is real, I would legitimately not be surprised if this card sees a ban in standard down the line.
While black has Eliminate and Murderous Rider, other colors seem to have relatively use usable means to deal with this card at instant speed (keep in mind that brazen borrower cannot reset this card as its adventure half cannot target lands). Build a decent control deck with a bunch of wraths, counters, and this card and the meta can become a pretty miserable place.
This is a rare leak that barely tells us anything about the set. We're going to Zendikar, so we were going to get manlands anyway. Nice to see a different way to make them, though.

I mean, to be fair, if this card exists and DOES become an issue, people in the market to answer it (IE slower decks) can just play field of ruin. Actually, now that I think about it, with the power of the castles and the fact that this is ZENDIKAR (actual zendikar, not the eldrazi hellscape) it might be competing with field of ruin for colorless land spots.
Could possibly see this being an issue with Zirda, the Dawnwaker, especially if you mutate one so you have twice the effect on the field to make the activation cost only 1.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Also Inkmoth Nexus. Yet all three of those come with a big *. As its more about the type of deck that runs them. Technically Inkmoth Nexus for example has a lot more punch behind it because it has infect so in infect decks it can clean house faster than a Factory or Vault. But again that is if its in its 'natural habitat'.
Anywho, that's a pretty cool concept. Although I agree the symbol looks like it could pass as a potential sprite from Galaga or Space Invaders. Hurray for 8-bit references!

Why does everyone keep mentioning Training Grounds? It only works when you've already paid 4 that turn, and Zirda, the Dawnwaker is already in standard.
Please, mill me. Mill my important cards. Mill my lands. Mill it all. Because I will still deal 20 damage before you can mill 45 cards most every time.

I really just want to see the actual Landscape of Zendikar and not just floating rocks and Hedrons with a tiny tree in the background named "Forest". I understand that's part of the landscape, but many of the full art lands from the last Zendikar were just so... bland. I feel like I saw better landscape artwork in the background of Creature cards.

Agreed on all counts. I felt some of the original Zendikar full art lands were amazing. Our last visit made it look like a desiccated wasteland, and no, not just because of Eldrazi. Frankly even the art previews we saw recently are concerning for a lot of bland shades of gray and dreary browns. Let alone the CGI rendering.
What I find interesting about these "leaks" (quotes because some leaks are intentional) is that I wonder where the card came from? Cards aren't just printed by themselves; they come from a sheet. So what about the rest of the sheet? Or maybe it came from a booster pack? If so, what about the rest of the pack? Scooby Doo mystery is afoot...

From past leaks, the common scenarios seem to be
1) Somebody got access to one of the manufacturer's printers and was able to take a photo of a sheet or steal a sheet.
2) Product for expansions are printed in advance, so they can be shipped to retailers in time for the release date. Somebody with access to a warehouse or distribution center in the pipeline would end up finding a booster.
3) The rare printing error where a card from a future expansion is put into one with an impending release. This might happen if they put the wrong template on the printer, and a few sheets might be run and put into boosters before the technicians catch the problem.
And, there is also that big "god book" scandal 2 years ago, where somebody within WotC disseminated a spreadsheet with the cards of an expansion. That was card information exposed to the public.
Cards are printed and boosters are packaged MONTHS in advance of rollout. I would guess they are printed at least 3 months in advance and then shipped to distributors probably 1 to 2 months in advance. Unscrupulous agents will get their hands on these somehow and leak cards. I'd bet this is the case here.

If I am reading this right, it is number 262 out of 280. Does that check out? I'd expect there to be a fair number of lands in the set, but there should be 15 basics after this, leaving room for only 3 more lands that come after "Crawling."

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending

I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced
That there's just too much pressure to take)

So insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Stalking Stones (permanently) becomes an artifact
Inkmoth Nexus also has flying/infect
I like it for constructed and limited, but it feels underwhelming for most (of my) commander decks.
I used to be a demigod, but now I'm an omnimage
Makes me wonder if a 3-mana ability that only puts one +1/+1 counter would have been too strong?

Nope.
Mutavault is a bit better and more playable.

better than Raging Ravine as a manland, worse if you need colored mana.
Also Mishra's Factory
Naw, that's reserved for Mutavault.
