Not all of those Dual landcyclers are bad... best is defintely Pale Recluse, but this one is also good, when combined with Unsummon or stl. And that artwork is perfect, i use it as a wallpaper.

Cycles even if you have two Tectonic Edges / Dread Statuaries / etc on the table; is a situational Lava Axe later in the game; surprises you and eats your Planeswalkers. Not bad at all! Perhaps somewhat overlooked for BR aggro, though not as stellar as Bituminous Blast. If BR aggro dredge ever exists before this rotates out, it'll probably be in it.

I used this in casual w/ Lightning Talons and it was awesome late game.

I figure if you are running Grixis, you cycle this and then unearth it later with Sedris, it's not that bad of a card at all. Not 5/5 by any means, maybe not even 4/5. But landfetch attached to a 5/1 late game in the right circumstances isn't bad.

This card isn't much good to many casual players who don't have very many cards, but to an experienced player who can use it right, it's amazing. 3/5

@ xNavarone:
Your Sedris idea makes me wish I didn't trade away my Sedris, The Traitor King away for a stupid Platinum Emperion.

You guys are overlooking the fact that this particular mana fixer for RB happens to be attached to a creature. Not the best creature by any means, but what does black do easily and frequently? "Return target creature from graveyard to Hand/Battlefield." Either use a Raise Dead to cycle again if your mana is that shot, or return it to the battlefield. My RB deck loves the flexibility and versatility of this card.

It fills two roles.
It's better at the RB mana fixing than it is at being a creature, but it's nice to see what would be a swamp/mountain early game turn into a dangerous ambush late-game.

Try this in your Rakdos, Lord of Riots deck and you really won't be sorry.

The Dual landcycling Creatures are supposed to be "bad". Their primary purpose is to fetch a land and fix your mana; but should your mana be fine, or if you draw this late game, it's got the flexibility of being a creature you can cast. Any decent strength hasty creature is a viable play when your opponent taps out and doesn't kill you. Great for limited, worth considering in Casual for the manafixing and emergency creature.
