Here are some strong late reveals--this set is pretty darn strong; in terms of the last some blocks, this may be behind only Cruise/Dig and Eldrazi Winter eras:
Blast Zone: Quite possibly the most versatile card in the set, this land can blow up any nonland permanent (or 2+!) you want as long as you have the patience and that permanent doesn't have a converted mana cost of 0. Control wants this, big mana wants this, midrange wants this, and it's quite possible that some combo decks want this, too.
Finale of Devastation: Cost-wise, this is in between Green Sun's Zenith and Chord of Calling. The redundancy will be welcome, so will granting the freedom to play singletons of crucial creatures, and some decks may be able to use the finisher part of this spell.
Finale of Eternity: The closest black will get to Sudden Demise for a while, this may as well be a one-sided Infest for 1 mana more, and this scales the more mana you sink into it.
Darn it, Hawk7915, I should have tacked "Modern" onto everything I said. I agree that there likely is no Legacy deck that can push Bolas's Citadel past Ad Nauseam Tendrils. (The Citadel was a terrible fit in ANT when I tested it for some minutes.)
But yes, you can do your best As Foretold impression and pay 0 life to cast Lotus Bloom from Bolas's Citadel.
Hawk7915, I think you're missing out on Bolas's Citadel in your Possible Players list. It not only creates entire combo decks around it that dodge graveyard hate, we've also tested it in Eggs and it looks like it can bring back that combo deck with the absurdly long turns.
Also, it's quite possible that the biggest way Neoform enables combos is in conjunction with Eldritch Evolution. We're building what's basically faster Grishoalbrand that dodges graveyard hate but is weaker to counterspells with both Neoform and Eldritch Evolution. The scary part is that Turn 2 wins are quite possible and Turn 1 wins are kinda Magical Christmas Land but will come up.
