Wait... Does this mean that if I Momentary Blink it before my next upkeep, I get TWO waves of Sand Warriors?

Not to bash Planeswalkers, but old Legends have so much flavor. Hazezon Tamar, who is he? Why is he white, red, and green? What personality does he have? Who has he killed? Too many questions, so much flavor.

@ GrimGorgonBC
Tamar would only count for one creature, not all three...

This card is too expensive for what it delivers, the tokens are nice, but a 2/4 body???

I also agree that you aren't getting enough for the price, but it is 9 points of power for 7 mana at the very least and tournament players would call that amazing for some reason.

Use him with behemoths herald and get Godsire EDIT@Guest5744 I was refering to the tokens, because they are all 3 colours....

@Kryptnyt . . . . . DUDE! Great idea for real man great combo! I personally like this card too. A lot of people say the ability/mana cost isn't worth it, but I think this would be great in a devour deck! You can use them to devour, with mycoloth, thunder-thrash elder, caldera hellion, etc. Classic card great flavor.

This is the only Legend that doesn't seem to have reasonably update tokens:
* Boris Devilboon's Minor Demons tokens are now "Demon tokens named Minor Demon"
* Stangg's token is now "a Human Warrior token name Stangg Twin"
* Master of the Hunt's tokens are now "wolf tokens named Wolves of the Hunt"

Unless Sand is a unique creature type, these tokens need to be "1/1 Warrior tokens named Sand Warrior".

I just love the art, " yeah I'm a 2/4 for 7 but I brought friends..."

this guy could have actually been a very cool FTV: Legends card. if he's not Reserved, then why the hell isn't he??! I'm not saying there more than 5 Legends cards that REALLY deserved a spot in FTV (the Elder Dragons), but come on...From the Vault 'LEGENDS'? NO cards from Legends? REALLY?!

Considering the Elder Dragons are single-handedly responsible for EDH, now known as Commander to players with creature type: human whippersnapper, I would say that one of the non-Bolas Elder Dragons REALLY should have been the highlight cards of the set with new art, with at least ONE friend from Legends set tagging along...alas, the most historical card we get is Captain Sisay.

Just realized that Avenger of Zendikar is this.

This is easily in my top ten most desired cards. Absolutely want, but I absolutely do not have the money to drop on a single $$30 card. Sometimes I envy the people with nothing better to buy. Hazezon, why must we be so far apart?! Especially with Cloudshift and the other cards that do the same thing in Avacyn Restored. So much to work with.

The major issue for me with this card is that one appropriate removal spell kills all of those sweet creatures you just created... You cant really build a deck around him as an edh general because he's so expensive that its hard to play him multiple times and he doesn't really break the game when you get him out. Thats is unless you've got a bundle of cards like kaysa, etc. He's decent, though.

Use this in commander to bring out Autochthon Wurm. This card is also good because you will keep the tokens unless an opponent waits a turn to kill the Hazezon. Card says that the tokens stay on the board unless the Hazezon is killed when the tokens are out. I've screwed myself like that before.

Actually pulled this guy in a pack when he was current. Totally devastating for his time(If he survived), and there were no other dink-producing mechanics like it. Was definitely a friend to Keldon Warlord at home with Orcish Oriflamme, Crusade, and Jihad at the time.

Blink him as much as you can, then return him to your hand. Congratulations, you now have a ton of sand.

interestingly, when he leaves play he exiles all changelings on the board

Probably one of the few good legends in the set. I love tokens, so this guy is all over my jam. Hazezon has a powerful ability (he is a 9/11 in raw stats if you play him on turn 7), he has a decent amount of flavour, a unique name, and sweet art. What else can you ask of a legendary creature?
