I play this with Garruk. Two Temples with his +1 ability = 8 mana off the bat. This deserves the rare status.

Funny how one painter's servant can shut down this card.. it specifically says "colorless" eldrazi.. you give them any kind of color and it makes 1 only. I give this 4/5 for being best acidic slime target ever.

It balances out when you think of how much nonbasic LD there is out there. Just make sure you sideboard the LD for when you do meet an Eldrazi deck. I know I will with my Elf deck. :x

Four of these are an absolute must for any self-respecting Eldrazi deck. (Especially any that want to drop a T4 All Is Dust...)

Okay, for those of you who are requesting for this to be made uncommon, get your heads out of the gutter and realize that this card is insanely powerful with Eldrazi and most definitely should not be any easier to obtain.

Walking into "Pats Games" and paying a total of $460.00 for 8 pieces of cardboard does not sound easy to me. Then again - back when I did play magic - I only played casual. I understand why rarity is so important for drafts and similar games, but - as a casual gamer - it only affected my wallet. Sure, you could print cards out and play with proxies, but then you have to contend with individuals who "don't play with people who use proxies," people who take pride that they are the "legitimate" owner of some mythic card, and other elitist scum... even in casual.
Wizards could reprint every single card with an expansion symbol that signifies its use for casual play only (and the fact that the card is also only worth 25¢ each), but I'm sure someone who has their mitts on a Jace, the Mind Sculptor or a Tarmogoyf might have a problem with that (or some other self-centered reason that is unrelated to a anything concerning...

@Felix
I think people who consider proxies good forget:
-This is a *Collectible* card game. If something has become collectible already it's difficult to justify a slew of reprints to lower the price, as it deflates the market; making it much less interesting to collect
-Qasali Pridemage is a common rated at 4.6 and Tarmogoyf is a Rare/Mythic rated at 4.4ish. You're not allowed to bitch about expensive cards that are good and then silently forget about $0.25 cards that is basically just as good. The difference is supply (common vs. rare) and demand (one fits in G/W or three color, the other fits into literally any deck willing to splash green.)
We can point out things like Delver of Secrets, Lightning Bolt, or a variety of other cheap cards that are tournament staples. The staples become expensive when they're shared amongst a huge variety of decks; meaning that the resource is much more scarce.
P... (see all)
