I'll stick with the RAV version, which doesn't have awful reminder text.

Epochalyptik - You won't be alone, but that's also b/c I'm sure most people who want their playset already have their playset. (I know I'll need to get myself a playset now though...)

I've needed a playset to finish my pod deck for months, but I've been holding off dropping $120+ for this exact moment.

It's great that they're reprinting it, bu personally I like the look of the original better. Oh well, beggers can't be choosers.

I like the art of this one better than GIANT BIRD. I wouldn't mind getting one of these.

M15 keeps looking better and better. I've never been so excited for a core set haha. I know I'll probably spend a ton of money on packs xD

SO glad this is getting reprinted! Been wanting a copy for a while now. Am I the only one who likes the fact that Trostani, Selesnya's Voice is in the art?

Ezekiel Good spot, I didn't see that.
Anyway, this is going to be the best core set we've had for a long, long time if we get more cards like this.

Ramp decks are looking even better for standard, no big creatures to play with your mana dorks, no problem.

The new artwork looks so much cooler in my opinion! I must admit I like WOTCs recent reprint-policy.

There's only one thing I have to say about this....
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHa
Oh god. Seriously, though. Green is already very powerful right now. Gaining Chord, genesis hydra, nissa, (even the not acidic slime elf that blows up enchantments) on top of not actually losing anything important in the rotation (like black does) green is going to be stupidly powerful in the first few months past rotation. Man are they ever pushing green hard this set.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!
anyway, i needed this for my EDH deck, but didn't want to spend $45... YUS!

Can i ask why the hype on this card. To me it seams really slow, like what turn 5 I get to pull a 4/4 out? (assuming 2 creatures). With scry in the set and card draw i fell this card is just way to slow in standard.

@mbooma This card is fast enough for modern, which is much faster than standard. And turn 4 if you've played 1 creature on turns 1, 2 and 3, you can make x=4. Which does not mean you get a 4/4 out, it means you get a 4 cmc out. Instant speed Polukranos, World Eater at the end of your opponents turn. And that's assuming no Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx for even more mana. Or flash in an active Nylea, God of the Hunt at the end of their turn on a stalled board state to trample over them. Or pull out a reclamation sage to deal with Detention Sphere , Banishing Light , Soul of New Phyrexia , Perilous Vault that they tapped out for last turn.
Convoke can make it at least as cheap as Green Sun's Zenith if not cheaper, especially in a format with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx . The instant speed means it can be done in response to damage to give everything surprise trample with Nylea. Or even whip out Ob Nixilis, Unshackled in response to an opposing Sylvan Primordial . Which brings me to another point, it doesn't have to be a green creature. I plan to have a one-of ob nixilis sideboarded just for that shenanigans.
With the ridiculous amount of mana green can make right now by turns 4 and 5, this card essentially lets you pull whichever creature you need to answer the current board state from your deck and put it on the battlefield. All at instant speed. Oh, the possibilities.

Green is attacking, if i still have mana and my creatures untapped in turn 3, 4 or 5 during my opponents turn im either screwed or broadcasting. With BTE still in the format with nykthos you could pull out a polukranos and monstrous for insane numbers turn 3. BUT the additional 3 casting cost to only pull A creature out will mean this will only see play in Mono-green or G/R monsters. I dont see the card being that hype worthy.
