.Rai Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I'm not a huge fan of the storage lands. A more elegant dragon land would have been nicer like Eldrazi Temple or Primal Beyond.The real question is why are there hedrons in the art?

Simping For Hina Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Let me fix what I said What? A better storage land? Awesome. /sarcasm They are trying to push for Dragon Tribal, but there isn't really any support for them. The dragons on their own are powerful, and have more respects to be utilized than as a whole.

Ugin made the Hedrons, he was part of the 3 planeswalkers who sealed away the Eldrazi in the first place. I assume. Also this feels really bad. It eats your mana and is really slow. You could have at least had a Cavern of Souls clause on it or something, I mean you're going to be stacking counters on this for multiple turns and it ties down one of your lands. I mean at what point in the game are you going to drop this? Drop it too early and you aren't dropping spells and are just sitting around while your opponent is doing stuff, drop it too late and it'll never get enough counters to be relevant. After how good Eye of Ugin and Ugin himself are, this just feels really weak. Bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 There are only two decks that I know off that will ever want this card: Reaper King EDH and Scion EDH. And even then, it's underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even then, it's underwhelming. I wouldn't run this, even in EDH, to be honest. Why the hell is this rare? Or rather, why is such a cool concept being wasted on such a terrible effect?

Or rather, why is such a cool concept being wasted on such a terrible effect? It is rare because it is a unique effect for Tribal. The effect isn't terrible, it is actually pretty powerful. There is just no reason to use it because it isn't worth utilizing because of how un-impactful the effect will be toward any game plan. Seriously, the card is cool, and the concept is interesting, but there is just nothing it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean unless we're playing Homelands block constructed with this card and some dragons slotted in I can't ever see this reaching more than 4 counters.

It is slow, but you're talking about investing in it entirely. No one does that, with any Storage lands. It isn't going to be used, but that doesn't mean it isn't cool or interesting in concept.

You either need a storage land or you don't. It just happens so that for dragon tribal, it tends to be unnecessary and weaker than other generic options.

It just happens so that for dragon tribal, it tends to be unnecessary and weaker than other generic options.There's also the fact that it compares pretty unfavorably to the Time Spiral dual storage lands, in that you have to tap it to withdraw the colored mana. Shame. Art's so pretty. ): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawkobo Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'd still consider it something playable in a Dragon EDH build. It's not the strongest land but there's at least technically a use for it. ...On the more budget side of things, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Only place this seems good is in a Dragon EDH deck. If I REALLY stretched maybe a Dragon style control deck since you can fill this up if you didn't need to tap out, but that is really reaching.

Poc Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 This card is just bad all around. Its slow, its limited to dragons and it just sucks when compared to cavern of souls. I'll probably end up getting 2 of them in my prerelease pack and then I'll probably rage quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
