so just to be sure, anything that has anything to do with lotus's is an instant mythic right?

Yet another apocalypse that never came to pass.

I hate this card. Here's why, in a list of things I hate.
1. Mythic Rare under 5 CC
2. Mythic Rare staples
3. Mythic Rare Utility cards
4. Mythic Rare mana acceleration
5. Mythic Rare
Thanks. Go die in a fire, Lotus Cobra. 1/5 on basic principle.

Incredible two-drop which will likely see much play in Zendikar.
At first i underrated this card (i still gave it 5/5 but still didn't see some further potention), but actually it in fact appears to be equal or even better than Birds of Paradise. Although it still depends on deck, you will play a land most of the time, therefore despite the fact that mana accel is not granted with the Snake each turn in the lategame, this still has an amazing 2/1 body which likely makes it to one of the greatest two-drops of all time.
Of course since the Birds are a one-drop you might simply want to play both, especially since playing the Cobra with help of Birds on turn two and then getting two further mana from the second land is insane.
And in this card's block you'll find ways to get your lands into play easily, especially in green e.g. with reprinted Harrow.
On top of that, it even synergizes in a tribal deck. Take a look at Sakur... (see all)

I'm really happy that green finally gets a single "format-defining" card. Over and over, those cards belonged to other colors (most notably black and blue); I'm glad Wizards found a way to give green options other than brute force.

Anyone who says this card is epic, is wrong.

Although I agree that this seems overpowered at first glance, upon further inspection it doesn't actually appear to be a gamebreaker. Its mythic status actually looks like it's justified, unlike some other mythics that either aren't strong enough to merit their status or are just retardedly overblown. (Felidar Sovereign and Baneslayer Angel, I'm looking at you.)

With a Birds of Paradise on the field first turn, and Lotus Cobra second, with the land and birds from first turn paying for the cobra, then you can play a fetch land for your second turn land, fetching another land, and tapping that land gives you 3 in the pool. Harrow will give you 2 land and 2 in the pool, which will get you a Oracle of Mul Daya. After getting a play set, there is no deck that i can think of that would not benefit from this snake. to those who say this isn't worth Mythic, play someone running them. Yes it is a utility card, but its potential is in mythic proportions.
@those of you adding x mana this snake can give you by turn y(yes i know i just did, but as more of a combo suggestion than me limiting this card to x by y).
Lotus Cobra is not limited to a set number of mana per turn. Depending on your hand, you can have any amount of mana to play out your hand by second turn, ... (see all)
