Yeah by land type I was referring to basic land type, which turn on the reveal from hand duals and the upcoming checkland reprint. I expect desert to only be relevant in limited.

I think the idea is that Bolas tore them from the heavens, erased their legacies, and twisted them into tools. I'd expect no flavor text on any of them either.

So I guess the other two are going to be titled The Locust God and The Scarab God then?

Is that mythic or just rare? I'm hoping mythic because that seems extremely annoying to play against in limited. The bar for constructed five drop seems way higher.

Oh the wording is funny, I just realized you can't stack two -1/-1 counters on a single creature. It was a lot better when I thought it was 2 mana Splendid Agony.

It's clearly just one of those limited only cards. Lightning Strike is efficient removal in 2017, so why not try out 2R?

Oh wait, I guess they have the Desert type, which presumably will matter for something...

Yeah they showed at least one creature that gets an ability from a desert on the battlefield or in the graveyard.

NEVER FUCKING TAKE A NIGHT OFF CLAN WARS.
That's a rough way to lose the final game of a GP semifinals match: Lands player plays Mox Diamond, plays Gamble, gets Dark Depths. His hand is Depths, Stage, Stage, Ghost Quarter and Horizon Canopy. He discarded Depths - if he discards anything else, he would be able to play Stage, draw a second Mox Diamond, and get a turn two Marit Lage and almost certainly win. Instead he discards Depths and his opponent flips a Delver, revealing Surgical Extraction to take out the Depths.

Losing to your own Gamble at GP Vegas is a pretty good story though.
