I TOTALLY CALLED THIS! My friends were giving me crap because they had already printed a dragon land, but I was like " theres no way, I mean look at sliver hive" also, dragons are almost definitley more popular than slivers, wizards has to give us something better than this.... and i was right
I can get on the train of people who aren't very happy about animated lands, BUT, say you make it to the ult and empty your deck of lands, you will only draw spells from that point on, even if they wipe away your animated lands, your draws will be pretty live (unless you used the animate +1 and then ulted and got wiped). I can see all her abilities being good in standard, unfortunately, I don't think she does enough at 5 mana to see play outside of edh, standard, and casual.
Fun fact, This Jace is starting at a lower price on starcity than Tibalt did. Tibalt was actually like 25$ for like a week, this jace is only 20, and he is gonna drop like its hot. but I like the art
another funny side note, the chandra is better than the jace in this set, lol.
Except that those are all sorceries, and these are instant speed.
Except that those are all sorceries, and these are all enchantments in an enchantment matters set/block. Blightcaster, Ajani's Chosen, Oath of the Ancient Wood and Primeval Bounty exist too, at least for a little while.
Except that those are all sorceries, and these add to devotion when you need them to.
Except that these split the mana cost between two turns.
Except that when you're in top deck mode and you keep drawing lands, these let you do something with your mana.
You can't say that these are "4 mana diviniaton" etc. They're entirely different. It's analogous to couriers capsule, perhaps better because it doesn't need to tap (pesky Blind Obedience). I think they're going to be hot in limited, and once RTR rotates, the blue/green will see standard play depending on how lame the core set is.
Except the green one being a enchantment makes the card by no means better han playing a turn 1 mana dork and turn 2 rampant growth.
I hope the stuff you're reffering to is limited even tho it sounds like constructed.
they could see some standard play, because mana dorks can be burned out of the water, and basic lands are very hard to remove in standard. its a little slower, but a safer way to get to your big guys out. And if they turn 2 revoke existence or something, are you really that sad?
I really like the flavor, since the people of theros have lost there devotion, the enchantments don't stick around to count for it, and they could be worse, i kinda like the black one
The thief is really good with aura's you give them the auqeus form attached to your thief, and take any enchantment, like a god, a creature, or really anything along those lines. pretty awesome
actually profane command is good with multiples, the cost reduction happens multiple times for each target, making it bigger for every battlefield you have out, 6 creatures, 2 battlefields means x=12, I found out from some digging and a few questions that I posted on here
so what happens when you have 2 Thaumaturge's and cast an x spell like aurelia's fury, or profane command? Aurelia's fury, can you redirect the second costs 1 less to the player, and with profane command does it do twice as much?
Yeah, being only the third best Tier-1 deck in standard is not enough, I guess. Did you know that the latest GP winner was a guy commanding a monoB devotion deck that had to pack 4 Staff of the Death Magus in the sideboard to be able to overcome the prevalent red decks?
Interesting, where can I see the list?
or is this sarcasm...

not like o-ring, no target, bounce, permanent exile shenanigans

unfortunately act of treason mana at rare would be to strong, so they made it tratorous blood mana cost without the trample

Pay 3BBB and Exile 2 creatures ? and at instant speed
2bbb
actually because it costs 2 less from 2 targets+
