I think this is one of those cards that is just under the playable line in constructed. It does a lot of cute things, but it is still 3cc and takes many turns to actually get going much of the time. I guess he might be good in extended or maybe even legacy with all the sacklands, but it seems like there are more consistent fatties to turn to. also most aggro decks really don't want to spend 3 mana on anything nowadays. At least he makes an extra mana every time you use his ability. This set is just Banefire and a bunch of other cards that are barely worth looking at. (Ok Path of Exile is also the nuts) I see people getting way too excited about uncounterable pyroclasm, 6cc do nothings and 1/2 elves that are supposed to counteract bitterblossom.

If you could, I don't know, untap it for G...we're talking flagship. But is it really going to inspire new decks to be built? Especially in Standard? Maybe this is an Akira Asahara Flagship.

It's begging to be built around, and there is tons of synergy waiting to be tapped. Why is this not Flagship, even if its a bit leaky?

You can't sacrifice it to the Knight. Too bad, because that'd be pretty nifty. Rerepete, unfortunately Flagstones is not a plains. You can’t sacrifice it to the Knight.

Chances are that you already have one or more lands in graveyard before KoR hits the board anyhow (Terramorphic Expanse, fetch land) which would probably put it out of burn's 3 point range. I was thinking that it will fit in Zoo deck, or UWG control deck as a great land tutor giving both board position (defensive mostly). Just think what a mid-game Armageddon would do for her (It looks to me like it is an image of Elspeth, herself, in the artwork).

Because, hey, you can! Philosophy - Efficient Creatures (Rhox, Doran, Rafiq, KotR) backed by anti-anti-creature spells & drawing engines (eg. negate, guttural).
