The blood moon rises.

@Wallinator: I agree! I play Esper in EDH and I can't think of a better hoser. Dread this hitting the table. You know you're in trouble in EDH when you're praying to topdeck a basic land.

I'm one of the only people that play modern mono red goblins in the shop I go to. This thing just shuts down most of the decks there. It feels so unfair sometimes to resolve this thing on turn 3 or sooner and just watch the other person sit there and play non-basic mountains for the rest of the game. That being said, my only gripe is that it also turns my teetering peaks into basic mountains.

Black border, modern frame. I'll take a playset.

Blood Moon changes the way non-basic lands exist ON the battlefield, but do not change the way they enter the battlefield. Because checklands, shock lands, and gates are not effected by continuous effects on the battlefield while the land is being played, it will hit the board tapped (Or with the Pay-2-life replacement effect). See: Rule 614.12

I expect this is the first card in this set (alphabetically) to strongly affect the secondary market in a mostly irreversible way.
Now we have a lot more black-bordered Foils of Blood Moon, AND a LOT more Black Borders of it in general. This is not something that is very relevant for most of the cards in this set. This card is only Modern Legal because of a white-bordered Core Set printing. And it's a Rare. A Good Rare.
That...changes things. For the better, I'm sure. :)
Skyknightxi: I honestly like this art better. They are after all very similar. The old art works better on the old frame, the new art works better on the new frame, firstly. Secondly, this is Glowing Red, the other Moon was very Rocky. I do like Classy looking D-n-Dish art (as in, more Old D&D-looking than New WoW-looking), but sometimes I think there's something to be said for the WoW-take on an art.

Resolving this on turn two may be the strongest play in Modern.

Now all we need is a black-bordered, modern-framed version of this with the original art from The Dark.
