The Rack's rules text is almost the exact opposite of this. Almost.

Combo with spiteful visions and reliquary tower.

Ivory Tower, Howling Mine and Library of Leng were bestest friends back in the day. Now they've got even more new friends to play with, like Reliquary Tower, Rhystic Study, Consecrated Sphinx....
Once you have no limit on the number of cards in your hand, Ivory Tower can get out of control quickly. I've spent several games gaining 24+ life per turn off of a single Tower; at that point I didn't even bother to block. Of course in the current environment I'd need to do something to take care of Infect creatures, but that's not impossible by any stretch.
Mildly related: Gerrard's Wisdom. It's two Ivory Towers in Sorcery form.

@Clayton
Because this is a special reprint set, these don't constitute a new block and, as such, are not legal in standard. BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THEY WERE...

These cards aren't legit in standart (well, Sword of Mind and Body might be as soon as the new Mirrodin set is released). The cards are TOURNAMENT LEGAL - this means that the cards are legal in any format where the original printings are still legal - and apart from Sword of Mind and Body, all of the other cards are too old to be legal in Standart.

Jason Chan is a great artist. Just look at the card Naya Hushblade for example. I was hoping for a new and better looking Ivory Tower, but I think he missed the mark with this one. At least the artwork is not horrible. 4/5

the old artwork was amazing and beautiful, this is sub-par in comparison.

I like this card in turbofog deck. One thing fog doesn't cover is spell damage and a red burn deck can rip through you fast. Not with a first turn ivory tower lol. Maybe play another second turn, it will *** people off.
A billion times better than vensers journal because its a 1 drop.

That's just like asking if you can use archenemy cards in standard. (Either from the set or the schemes themselves)
Also, Standard doesn't exist, so it doesn't matter anyways.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't really need mentioning because people already know it, but for the sake of it HAS to be recorded for posterity because it's so TRUE----
Necropotence is really, really, freaking good with this. :p
