I like theStudent of Elements note. That card was always so close to playable. I love the flavor of a cliff that grants flying :D When playing blue in limited, I like to hold a few excess lands to hint at possible counter spells. I like how well this fills that particular role.

You can also use it to allow your Jagged-Scar Archers to shoot at your enemies :P

Think of this as an sorcery speed jump that cannot be countered. This is deadly with infect. Following up a turn 4 Phyrexian Vatmother with this card usually means 4 poison counters to them. It's even better if you equip a Piston Sledge. 7 poison on turn 5 is crippling.

Nice way in blue to effectively deal with Phantasmal Bear?

The creature that gains flying doesn't have to be yours, so you can push something off a cliff and then hunt it with the Predator.
This whole cycle of enters-play-tapped, does-something-cool land was awesome.

Interesting effect, not necessarily as good as +2/+0 as the red version of this cycle does, but possibly useful to help a creature dealing damage to your opponent, or (while not playing Standard) when used with Student of Elements.

This card practically replaces Jump. I used this card's ability on Darkstell Colossus the other day. Didn't feel right, somehow. I kept imagining little pixie wings popping out of Mr. Darksteel's back. Blehh. /:

Fine with Oran-Rief Recluse, Scattershot Archer, Tajuru Archer (killing) or Earthquake, Seismic Shudder (saving) a creature... It's a land, not a "Jump"!...

Great card, particularly for Landfall effects. Drop this guy and watch your Baloth Woodcrasher go nuts :D
