Maelstrom Pulse is like the kid of Vindicate and Echoing Decay on steroids. Awesome.

And the Posts turned out to be as many expected - quite useful for fixing, I'd say, since they can be used on your first turn with any basic land. Especially sound in Limited.

Also, the naming is nice:
Wildfield
Firewild
Veinfire
Mistvein
Fieldmist

The posts are bad. The pulse is pretty darn amazing.

AlphaSquirrel · 04-15-2009, 05:51 PM

Hate to say it but source? Seems like these are drawn from the hopes and dreams of rumored cards. Especially the pulse. But, hey, it could happen.

Makaro · 04-15-2009, 05:51 PM

Wow, now that's a pretty good Vindicate substitute.

The posts will probably only be played in Limited. They're similar in function to 2-color taplands; on turn 1 you can return your land and put it in to play tapped. Later in the game you can use them to accelerate, which is nice as well.

Necrogeist · 04-15-2009, 05:52 PM

And one more?

Tanthalas Half-Elven · 04-15-2009, 05:52 PM

Ok is it me or are these basically allied color dual lands that can accel on turn 3 if needed? (and die to artifact destruction obv)

CaptShetz · 04-15-2009, 05:53 PM

Maelstrom Pulse looks HOT.

The borderposts are a little underwhelming. Tap and return a basic land to your hand... hmm. I dunno.

Gigglioronomicon · 04-15-2009, 05:54 PM

Well the posts cost 3. Otherwise they don't accelerate. Can you say more (less good, conditionally slightly better) obelisks.

Maelstrom Pulse on the other hand is so good. I love it to pieces. It'll take a sec to really take it in, but i know that much.

Edit: I guess the posts are good in a land-light deck, or when you have a one or two land hand, but other than that....not so much.

GetItWrong · 04-15-2009, 05:55 PM

Hey, the long-posited one-drops! They combo with the creature(s?) that like multi-color, since you can play them without losing tempo.

I think they're a bit better than they look, like their nearest equivalents the ravnica bouncelands.

Dantalion · 04-15-2009, 05:55 PM

Regarding the borderposts, can you pay the :1: with the same basic land you are going to return to your hand?

Ramenth · 04-15-2009, 05:56 PM

Uh, is this confirmed? It's rather early to be getting this detailed information from tomorrows articles.

To quote the article:
"The alternate cost of the Borderposts is affected by cost reduction. This means that you won't have to pay the one mana for the alternate cost if you have an Etherium Sculptor in play. It doesn't seem to do much, but free spells usually have a way of surprising me with their applications."

So they're free (just pull a land back) with Sculptor out. Not too bad IMO. Admittedly, who plays Scultpor.. good limited third-pack mana fixing though.
