Why is this rated so low? If you mix this with Maralen of the Mornsong, you have some major lock down, and with Augury Adept out, you'll still be drawing.

With the Zendikar fetch lands, this card may gain new life. This may become a must have sideboard card.

this card is brutal. it locks down fetch-lands and cards like harrow, and it makes path to exile even more brutal, if that was possible

I haven't tested it, but this card might prove very useful against boros bushwacker decks. Cards it screws up: all your fetch lands, ranger of eos, steppe lynx, plated geopede. That's a good chunk of their deck and aggro strategy. The problem? Getting it out in time for it to matter. If this is a 1 drop, it would be devastating.
I can't tell if jaylabs was kidding or not... I really hope he was...

How is this card POSSIBLY not a 5?!?! For 3 mana you lock down virtually every modern fetch/tutor effect, and it is an artifact with Esper colors to boot. Holy smokes.
5/5

the great part about this card is... if you cant afford fetch lands you can at least afford to ruin them.. oh wait, with this in play fetch lands still have the ability to be sacked and they can still lose a life.. that's true.

megrimage is right, if your opponent wants to lose one life, they still can. Darn. That lowers the rating by 9001 points, from a 9005 to a 4/5. Obviously screws fetchlands, and really any other landfall strategy. I like it, although it's a lot of mana for a sort of random effect that may never change the game. It's sideboard, not maindeck.

I feel like this could have potential in UW control as a sb card against GR Valakut Ramp. Chances are you can get it out before they can play Primeval Titan, and given that besides the titan the deck is pretty much the same as it used to be (when it got smashed by Tectonic Edge and Ruinblaster) having one card that can shut down their primary win condition would be awesome.
But then, Leyline of Sanctity can do the job well too, and also works against RDW. Decisions decisions.
I think the flavor text is referencing people using tinker to cheat out their darksteel colossus .

I love how this shuts down so many annoying EDH generals that are profoundly unfun to play against because all they do is tutor for degenerate combos. Sorry Zur, no Diplomatic Immunity for you. And no, Mr. Dagsson, you can't fetch your Darksteel Forge and Nevinyrral's Disk.

Lavrant has me pegged. My Arcvm Dagsson deck fears this thing, as do my Transmute cards, Fabricate, and Long-Term Plans. Although, a hilariously flavor way to get rid of it would be to play March of the Machines and use the Arcvm's tap ability to force it to be sacrificed.
My favorite thing about this is the awesome frame/art combo. The blue/gray frame with the totally blue art is so mesmerizing

In , consider the even more aggressive Stranglehold, which only affects your opponents and prevents extra turns to boot. And it's an enchantment, which is a lot harder to break.

Step 1. Search for all my stuff with Dagsson. Step 2. Search for this. Step 3. Get rid of all their creatures.

That is all.
Step 2. Search for this.
Step 3. Get rid of all their creatures.
