Well i guess its ok for limited .

mct · 01-05-2009, 10:42 AM

It costs

and is common.

Jozan · 01-05-2009, 10:46 AM

Thats pretty darn good. a nice upgrade to Soul Feast, and that card is awesome

Intentionally Wrong · 01-05-2009, 10:47 AM

We may have gotten a new card out of that nonsense, but remember, guys: do not feed or respond to trolls.

As for the card itself, it seems way too expensive to be playable. I know that's how they always design the basic land cyclers, but seriously--7 mana? For an 8 point life-swing?

zesty234 · 01-05-2009, 10:50 AM

Each one of the basic landcycling cards for the 5 colors all vary on ability and usefulness...

Think of them like the "SuperCyclers" but backwards, They all have big abilities because of their cost, but being able to fix the mana in limited format is so huge because playing domain in Alara/Alara/Conflux reaps you HUGE benefits.

yeah it's totally awesome... *swallows irony*

at least it has landcycling. So it might be playable in limited...
but honestly, it is kinda - really bad

Soul Feast in XXX draft is huge blowout and is a high pick. This card is obviously not as playable as regular cost, but is also most likely a high pick based on the cycling ability, but is also quite a huge blowout late game to break a stall. I was being totally serious with my assessment.

EDIT: Also this card is probably an instant so you don't have to play it at sorcery speed...

So domain has really good cards, i wonder if it will be type 2 playable. As for absorb vis it is really bad, no real use just a bad common card.

Considering that leeching X is costed

on most cards, this is in fact underwhelming - if it not had basic land-cycling.... for

? Why is there a black mana in the cost? Does that mean that the red one should be fixed to

or that red is better at land fetching than black ?

vatechguy · 01-05-2009, 10:56 AM

I dont understand why black would get basic landcyclcing but the red one gets mountaincycling. Thats lopsided no?

It would be lopsided, if that were the case. But the red one has basic landcycling too.

The red one costs

to cycle.

zesty234 · 01-05-2009, 10:58 AM

This card is a sorcery, it is the only sorcery amongst the "LandCyclers" cycle.

All of the 5 cards, get "Basic Lands" only,.. for one mana of the cards color plus one additional mana.

Oh then my assessment has gone down of this card. This card would be awesome at instant speed, but sorcery it is a 20th-23rd card :/

So next time you want to make an avvy with Rosewater pissing on something, take a deep breath and consider pasting Forsythe's face there instead...
