nothing in the card says "creature you don't control". Anyway, it could absolutely be black from a color pie perspective, I suspect they just didn't want to have a damnation with an on-color extra effect.
did I understand that correctly: you pay $99 annually so you automatically buy each secret lair for full price, or $149 to automatically buy them at a 10% discount? How does that make any sense?
Something doesn't quite add up about this discussion. Fan art isn't protected by copyright afaik, since it is itself infringing on copyright, so the artist shouldn't need permission to use it.
Don't get me wrong, WotC can very much reject this artist's work because of it--and I think it's actually a good idea. But I don't see why, for example, they should compensate the artist who originally infringed on their copyright, other than maybe hiring them, since the art is obviously good enough.
come on, how are you getting Valakut active while returning a land to your hand every turn?
On 7+ mana, can't you do anything better than try to connect with a 2/2?
This is aggro and nothing else.
actually the first of those dfc lands I'm disappointed of. 7 mana is a huge cost for essentially cycling, since at that cost, you won't have lots of extra lands sitting in hand.
The blue one, I'd either make scry 1 on mana leak (any upgrade to mana leak is extremely powerful) or scry 2 on quench. The reason is, these don't just exist in draft, but also in constructed, where it is pretty easy to run enough snow when you decide to.

and is there a reason it isn't just until end of turn?
