I think it's because otherwise you'd have a tapped attacking noncreature land at the end of combat and that could get weird.

Ah yes. That certainly makes sense. Ha.

Oh boy
There are 10 flip cards. Arena reveal is 1pm Thursday and Iconic Masters drafts this weekend. Spoilers all this and next week with the pre-pre release stream next Saturday.
I can see control decks using this as a repeatable source of card advantage and maze of ith for the late game.
I dig it.

This is what I'm about.
The 2HG dream card.
Crazy good for Edgar Markov EDH too
Yes, I can expect that. I feel like other sets had more cards that saw and continue to see play. Look at something like Khans as a set and the cards it provided a number of decks in Modern.
- Swiftspear, Deflecting Palm, Stubborn Denial, Siege Rhino, Become Immense, Anafenza, the Foremost, Murderous Cut, Treasure Cruise (banned), Dig Through Time (banned)
That's a bunch of cards still played to some degree today besides the two that were so powerful they had to be banned. This list isn't even counting the fact that it brought the Onslaught fetches into the format. It was a very impactful set.
Shadows Over Innistrad is also proving to be pretty impactful so far as well.
- Nahiri, Anguished Unmaking, Thing in the Ice, Prized Amalgam, Traverse the Uvenwald, Tireless Tracker, Insolent Neonate, Archangel Avacyn
Then I look at something like Amonkhet and I'm like meh.
- Rhonas, Gideon, Cast Out, Archfiend of Ifnir, Curator of Mysteries, Vizer of Remedies, Desert Cerodon, Horror of the Broken Lands
Numerically it's basically equal, but it's just not impressive because 5 of the 8 are in one low tier deck.
You left out Flooded Strand, Wooded Foothills, ect from the Khans list. :>
I mentioned that I left them off on purpose, right below the list of cards from Khans. The list is impressive even without them, but doubly so with them.
thanks for the rundown. Like I said I don't know much about modern so it is interesting. Are the HOU uncommon lands seeing any play?

Actually interesting that there's no modern impact index for sets.
Shouldn't be too difficult to make even, with multipliers for a card ending up banned.

Scarab God now almost doubled frome when I looked last week, it's passed bolas for the most expensive card from HOU on magiccardmarket.
I imagine with the large amounts of lands available it would be hard to fit them in.

Why is that Mythic? I can't imagine I'd rather have that than Pull from Tomorrow.

This page makes miss Khans Standard. So much fun apart from DTT and TC.
It seems real bad. Why isn't it an Instant at least?

I got 2 in in time thanks to you. Wouldn't have looked into his price trajecotry if you hadn't asked if I had one.
it would be ncredible as an instant and WotC is pretty averse to making draw go good.
I'd much rather have Tidings tbh, and that is an uncommon.
Way too good at instant.

We last saw this effect in Theros I guess? With Brain Maggot?
There you just got a 1/1 on the ground, but you could grab creatures. However, you almost never grab creatures with these things - you almost always take the removal spells. So getting a 1/2 flier vs a 1/1 dork actually seems like it's basically all upside. This card is sweet.

Overflowing Insight might get some amount of play in a Gearhulk deck.
Edit: n/m, I'm dumb. This isn't an Instant.

Oh, THERE'S why it's a sorcery lol
That cutlass was given to a MLB player to preview https://twitter.com/MeLlamoTrevor/status/905102814820671489
I wonder if they will keep doing this in the future with different pro athletes who play, or if it was a "let's give a Pirates player a pirate card" thing

Wait. Does this prevent Annihilate triggers?

No, Annihilate will already be on the stack by the time you could activate this.
