I have this tingle that sooner or later a monowhite Destination Emeria.dec will emerge. Featuring Knight of the White Orchid, Kor Cartographer, Explorer's Scope as the engine and Iona, Shield of Emeria as the q-bomb. Emeria, the Sky Ruin will provide inevitability.

ok, I for one was against this card, until it made me win
had this down turn 1, so it came into play tapped, boo hoo, most non basic do, and it sat there for 80% of the game, a nonbasic plains, until I got down to one life, next turn I was so dead, but an ally had gone to the graveyard a previous turn, I was at 5 plains, this, and a green, harrowed at EOT, 7 plains, brought back the 1W cleric that healed me, I was at 3, and had a 3/3 Vigilat FS, the WW ally. Pass, he attacked, his 6/6 territorial baloth, blocked with 1/1 healer. cleric comes back, 5 life and a 4/4 V, FS, another ally, 6/6 FS, V and at 8 life.....
it kept going like that till I killed the baloth with the FS and swung next turn for win
yeah it is 8 lands needed, but really once you get there, with the right card in graveyard, and a little exceleration. say harrow or the green expedition, it can be part of a game winning combo
there is also Kor cartographer, explorer scope, landbind ritual, and white is fog heavy, so... (see all)

Very nice for monowhite control, which happens to be my favorite deck.
Designer_genes is the same guy that thinks that the unimaginably broken lotus cobra "sucks in combo" and is "inefficient for aggro". That should say it all.

It seems to me that too many people are forcing Emeria into their deck. You really shouldn't do that. Emeria is not one of those cards that you should just stick in your deck. Comboing to make use of Emeria in my opinion is a lost cause. It requires you to go too much out of your way to make it work. It distracts away from a deck's strategy.
Emeria really shines in a deck that would like (but doesn't necessarily need) a late game boost. To me, I see Emeria as late game insurance. Play a tapped land now, and later on you may reap major benefits.
Emeria is not good recursion. If you want to replicate good recusion, then just play a black deck. But what Emeria is good at, is late game insurance. And for what it does, I give it a full 5/5. One of the best insurance cards in the game.

For anyone saying it's too hard to get out 7 plains take a look at Endless Horizons.
Also, I like to match this up with World Queller. Kill off your Kor Cartogropher and bring it back while taking out your oppenents creatures and gaining a Plains.
Since they both happen during your upkeep I believe you choose the order in which they resolve right?

Crap. Any other recursion you'd be able to get much faster, much easier. Anyways, if you have 8 mana available, do you really want to wait a turn or two before you can do something moderately okay?
@Professor: It comes into play tapped. If you're playing mono-white, you're playing white weenie, and want to avoid things that come into play tapped. Chances are, if you can get to that many plains in white weenie, you've already lost. Casual card is casual. And even there, it sucks. It doesn't hit the right circumstances nearly as often as it hits the wrong circumstances.
@Laguz: Lotus does suck in combo, and I said it was good in Zoo aggro. Other aggros don't have room for Lotus. Honestly, it is only great on god-hands. Every other time, Birds or even Llanowar elves are better.
Also, since Lotus Cobra has yet to "break" a format, there is no way it can be broken. Expect to see it get a lot of play for a month or so, and fizzle out of the meta because it's gilded garbage.
As for this c... (see all)

I'd use it in my bad, slow angel deck.
