How fearful
And dizzy 'tis to cast one's eyes so high!
The oaths and "stuff"s, that fight upon the stack
Show scarce so rich as recalls; halfway down
Hangs one that welders sapphire, — dreadful hack!
Methinks he seems no bigger than his head.
The Fishermen, for whom Deathrite is reach,
Appear like mice, and yond tall anchoring bark
Diminished to her cock; her cock, a Demon
Almost too small for sight. The murmuring storm,
That on the unnumber'ed piles of five cards chafes,
Cannot be heard so high.

Since it costs D to activate it seems like it would be somewhere near on par with Tech Edge. More powerful but less easily usable. (... and that was "only" 12 sets ago, man it doesn't seem like it's been that long.)

Giving (D) a way to attack lands would fit the theme they're giving it pretty well. A Spreading Seas variant is probably more likely though.

I've seen a lot of tron lists with 2x Ghost Quarter and I had assumed this would be a straight upgrade. I don't play tron though so I'll take your word I'm mistaken, I just like the idea of a modern deck which gets to run a ton of almost-wastelands and follow it up with Karn.

Ghost Quarter's there to beat Sowing Salts/the new identical one for 3R by blowing up the target and a way to fetch your basic Forest in response to a Blood Moon as much as it is for actual land destruction (which is mostly for manlands anyway)

Yea. I run 2 quarters in tron to protect against sowing salt and poo poo like that. I also have crucible of worlds, so it can be a soft lock against some decks.

I just realized that getting your dual-land Ghost Quarter'd to deprive you of a color would give you an opportunity to fetch a Waste that you otherwise might not have.

I kind of like that.

You need it for the mirror too.

Babylon Astronaut
Apr 19, 2012
Good point. I usually beat the hell out of people who don't have their quarters in the mirror and dropping one first is really good too. It ties in to the fact that the one skill you need to play tron is bluffing and faking out which tron pieces you have to make your opponent waste their chances. I usually drop tower last, and keep redundant pieces in my hand until I need them. This makes people think that you have the luckiest draws in the world, but it wins games.

Naw, you Arcane Denial your own spell in response to your opponent's Counterspell. That tends to end well.

Sure, I guess, that like one corner case works. Like 90% of the time though playing Arcane Denial is just The Wrong ChoiceTM.

I remanded my own spell in response to my opponent's Cryptic Command, then played the spell again because that was his last card. Felt so good.

Wastes needs to be drafted, you can't just grab as many as you need. Had wondered if they would provide them for land tables. Two versions so they are twice as common as a normal common.
