I bet it'll be around 7-10 bucks, it's one of the weakest FS lands in my opinion since you can get stuck in a position where you need it to produce black mana but all it'll give you is blue, still it has its uses so it'll probably reach a decent price, but I definitely hope they turn the GW land into a full cycle instead.
In fact I'd doubt they'd make a whole cycle out of River of Tears since you need "just" 10 different lands to cover just the allied color pairs, we have River of Tears but we'd need "Mire of Tears", i.e. same stuff but produces B by default and switches to U when you have played a land.
Ive thought about that and i may play a mix of storage lands so that my opponants will think i may have some trickes up my sleeves. (demonfire ftw off of izzet boilerworks!!!!!)
I have tested that as well, it's quite handy to throw your opponents off-cue with an Izzet boilerworks, or you could also run Azorius Chanceries and Calciform Pools to keep'em guessing what white cards you may be running,hehe
Bleh, the art on the Jailer is wayyyyy worse than the real art.
I completely agree, Cavotta's eerie Yixlid Jailer is one of my favorite FS illustrations, and I have to say the same about the original Zoetic Cavern, it's as surrealist as you'd expect from a land that can also be a creature, whereas the promo cavern is just a regular cave with some riblike structures running through it, quite uninspiring.
Serves him all right, I'll concur with Cyan, paying a "wrong" cost for the Teachings flashback and stuff like that is no "language barrier", just trying to get away with a cheap spell.
Now Katsuhiro Mori's ProPlayer card will be errataed to "Suspend-6"
Just to point out that sierpe is always used in Spanish cards for "Wurm", never for "Snake", sierpe is an archaic word for snake in Spanish, but nowadays only serpiente is used to designate snakes, (or culebra if you happen to be Venezuelan=)) so "Sierpe Salvaje de la Grieta" could be Savage/Wild Riftwurm. Grieta means "Crack", however, in Spanish Time Spiral cards "Rift" is translated as "Grieta", like "Rift Bolt" which is "Rayo de la Grieta" in Spanish.
Cazador Nessiano is Nessian Hunter, Nessiano doesn't exist in Spanish, it's just an adjective for someone from a Magic place I don't know (maybe it hasn't shown up yet, I'm not a Multiverse expert).
Nihilit isn't a Spanish word either, my guess is that it will be "Nihilit" in English too, "Nihil" is the Latin word for "nothing" so I guess it's just a made-up name.
Feel free to ask me about any issue with the missing translation.
Zoetic Cavern is a nice Limited card, especially for Sealed, since a Gray Ogre is better than an unneeded land, plus it can work as a Morph bluffer. Besides, I just love that weird artwork.
Ghostflame is sweet, and I can see it being used for Constructed, since it gives Red a way to kill that stupid Paladin en-Vec and a CoP won't save you from it.
Now we're talking NUCLEAR Bombs for Limited, this is what an 8-mana creature has to be, a game-winning Limited bomb. Not much to say here except that if you open this in Sealed you'll be very happy, and you don't pass it in Draft
This card is sooo situational, it only works if you have some static beefer à la Glorious/Gaea's Anthem in play before it hits play, or if you wanna use it as a 2G 8-point-to-the dome sorcery with Pandemonium in play....I'd pass on this one if you ask me.
By the way, the accurate translation of the card is "Force of Savagery", not "strength", in Spanish fuerza means both Strength and Force, but since it's a creature Force is the correct translation, I'd doubt they'd use "Strength" in a creature's name since "Strength" has only been used for pump spells as far as I can remember.
Funny, an RG gainland looks worse than an UW or UB one, aggro decks WON'T like giving the opponent free life (even if a good aggro deck should be able to offset that with a good ol' beating, or running Kavu Predator as someone suggested), where as U-based decks can show off Blue's trademark arrogance by letting you win free life so show you how much they care about your life total.
The landman is just OK I guess, it's too bad you can't add mana with it the turn it comes into play, so you end up getting a CIPT Forest that's vulnerable to creature kill of all sorts, or a free uncounterable 1/1 that can get pumped with an Aura to annoy the hell out of control decks
, and I must say I absolutely love the blue one's flavor text.
That makes two of us, that blue bird rocks for Limited, a 3U sorcery to bounce 2 critters would be a huge tempo swingor a nasty trick if you bounce an enemy critter and your own creature with a nasty CIP effect, but having a 2/2 body while you don't need to use it is just gravy. Definitely my favorite Augur
The lifegain card is as boring as it gets......Delay however....it's another lovely tool for Blue, it can do wonders for aggro decks, hey, for 1U I'll delay your Wrath of God for 3 turns, meanwhile, I'll proceed to pummel you to death with my creatures.
Delay is also an excellent anti-counter, it's pretty much always a hard counter vs counterspells since when was the last time you wanted a counterspell to fire off out from the blue (bad pun) during your upkeep....
And if you have Teferi in play it becomes: 1U, Counter.Target.Spell, period. (unless they manage to kill off Teferi but that's no fun)
I really hope there's a cycle of at least 5 lands like this one, it's not a Ravdual but it's not bad either, I personally think they'll print the whole circle since TS is seriously lacking in the colorfixing department (the storage lands are normally too slooow to be considered colorfixing), these lands would give allied color decks a way to fix their mana but without allowing for much multicolor madness in block, and may pop up in T2 decks as well since they're VERY synergistic with duals
I like this card, it can save you from death in Limited and it's a very nasty surprise for a Hellbent Demonfire aimed at your face, this set is shaping up to be quite surprising

Ferrets aren't rodents, they're funny little creatures related to weasels, erminys and that kind of hyperactive furry mammals
