I do like the fact that if it's real(and i'm hoping it is) it allows you to abuse Turn to mist(plus a red sorcery of your choice) and/or Warp World(which is a lot better this time around with planeswalkers like Garruk Wildspeaker and Chandra Nalaar, useful enchantment based removal like Lignify and Utopia Vow, Seige Gang Commander, Bogardan Hellkite, useful acceleration like Fertile Ground, Overgrowth, Yavimaya Dryad and Farhaven Elf etc. etc.).

I can see Warp World going something like, 1st turn land, 2nd turn land Fertile Ground, 3rd turn land Garruk untap lands Farhaven Elf, 4th turn land overgrowth fertile ground untap lands Warp World for 9. That's obviously a god draw without disruption but it is possible.
Mario, run it's a bob-bomb-o! Read carefully Warp World, planeswalkers, sadly dont enter the equation

I really think that we need to know the p/t and the cc to determine if it's anywhere near playable. The effect seems nice at the moment but it lacks some precision (land type counting or not.... return both kind of spells at the same time possible or not...)

The Neo Evacuation if at sorcery speed won't be that good due to hybrid creatures...

When CARDNAME comes into play return target red sorcery from your graveyard to your hand.

When CARDNAME comes into play return target blue instant from your graveyard to your hand.

Will try and get the card to scan and post more info tomorrow night.

Another one of the cards I saw tonight was a really good "Evacuation"

------------
uuu3

Rare


Return all non-blue creatures to their owners hands.
------------

Again I will get more info tomorrow (and hopefully a scan) and then post it here.

How do I edit the thread name as I forgot to put [EVE] at the beginning.

I am slowly remembering more cards out of the 12 boosters (two pods of 6) that I saw tonight.

---------
"Goat land"

rare

tap: add 1 to your mana pool

4 tap: put a 0/1 white goat into play

tap : sac x goats add x mana of any colour to your mana pool and gain x life

-----------

I texted a friend from the draft to see what he could remeber about the "goatland" it is deff rare. He also gave me the writing in red (which I dont rememberl?) though the land did not get used by the person who drafted it. So that did not help. Quick reads of cards are hard to get right 1st time. Will Give more updates later after WNM (Weds here in the UK)


"goatland" is very, very cute.

It's kind of like Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree's ******** cousin. Also reminds me of a better version of that Prahv, Spires of Order from dessention. Will see play as at least a one-of in many decks. If they print a variant of Opposition in Shards of Alara this will be a card to watch.

The "anarchist" is cool too. I love cards like this for limited.
The evacuation card is an auto-win in a limited full board postion and may see constructed play as well, but it is very expensive too. time will tell.
nice job. thanks for posting.

There HAS to be a block-related theme that deals with Goats besides Goatnapper and Springjack Shepherd...

Otherwise, Goatland just sound pointless...As far as themes go.

The Goat-land is meant to be a joke, just like Goatnapper. They were made to have funny interactions with the Changelings.

I just checked- "Pasture" appears once, so says the Orb. So the land is probably "... Pasture" (I randomly thought of land-related Goat words..)

Goatnapper was a bomb in limited though, at least at my prerelease...This...not so much.

I think that's the point, they chose goats because they didn't interact with much, the point of the card is to build up little dudes eot in a control deck. It's like a storage land that can block if necessary.

hmmmm....."Grassy Pasture" would seem cool, but what if a different card has the word pasture in it?
