I wonder if the Bloodrush mechanic will always deal with number of lands or if the factor can change card to card

So this ability means all your creatures can be combat tricks? I guess that seems pretty good, but I don’t know how many creative ways this can be made.

So will Bloodrush be for lands or the creatures power?

Disappointing spoiler in that we can't tell how bloodrush will work on other cards yet(as I doubt it's an exact copy)

Huh. Looks like the Gruul mechanic is "all my creatures are pump spells". But I'd almost always rather have the creature... But this would definitely be pitchable.

Actually this is fun with Domri Rade- hand full of combat tricks and board presence.

It appears that Gruul got the mechanic that Azorious had last time. Except having to discard as part of it's cost.

Bloodrush is just channel... How lame is that?

The card is very meh also. It's bad when hardcast, and 3 mana to pump a guy who must be attacking doesn't seem all that great.

Ah, I knew they'd do Gruul. Red and green for Christmas after all!

Anyways, looks like Gruul's very land-centric. I dig it. There shalt be so much ramping. Kessig Wolf Run, baby.
Edit- wait, maybe the land-centricity's just for this guy. Probably. Still, I dig it.

We don't know what the other cards with this ability word will do except that they will probably have to do with the number of lands you control.

Pretty nice. Kingmaker card in EDH. I like that gruul has a land subtheme.

Well, guess that guy spouting the Nephilim was just making fakes (the proposed keyword was "explore").

I look forward to Bloodrush Giant Growth.

Ooh. Gruul decks are going to like lots of lands. Hence, I will like Gruul decks.

Looks to me like Bloodrush is channel where "lands matter". I dig it. Maybe this mechanic will give Living End something new to play with.

Da, this vill work. I could see it in a Naya aggro deck. Discard this to anything bounded with Silver blade paladin. As far as using him as an actual creature..... he's not great.

I wonder if Bloodrush means discarding to pump equal to the card's power or discarding to do something for each land you control.

This.

Its stupid to jump to a conclusion that its only pump or only lands from a SINGLE CARD.
