i like the new art, and that they spent the time and effort to go and grab interesting old cards... why not maze of ith?

maze fo ith was beyond broken.
quicksand is balanced, and gives removal to colors that normally don't have removal.

Common!?!?!? This will be great in limited, and I think it will see constructed play too.

A really nice defensive card, slows down beatdown and can help kill a big guy.

Gives mono-red a way to deal with Kor Firewalker. Fancy.

Good card if your opponent is dumb enough to attack with a creature with less then 2 toughness. I really doubt red aggro will cast a ball lighning with an untap quicksand on the field. Or that white will attack with the Kor firewalker. Good for psychological warfare, but won't actually kill anything worth it. and with all those new land (pounder blue land, free 0/1 plant green land, deal 1 damage black land, gain 2 life / give protection VS color white land, duo land, man lands ect... Plus you need basic land to use the M10 duo land correctly without basic land you better use the uncommon give 1 life duo land of zendikar) and you need at least 2-3 basic land so you can fetch them when you get path to exile, I have difficulty to enter those land in my decks.
3.5/5

This card makes me so happy.
Why, you ask?
Let's break this card down, shall we? 1. It doesn't come into play tapped. 2. It doesn't do damage, it LOWERS attack a defense (which is substantially better) 3. Its colorless.
Those three things combined together make this card really very good. It gives you answers to protection-from, it kills ball lightning, it kills bloodbraid, it kills goblin guide. All around, a very, very good card.
If the eldrazi are, indeed, colorless, I anticipate that this card will be maindecked in every single eldrazi-based deck.

Like Tectonic Edge, this can a decent target to recur with Sun Titan, should you have no 187 creatures (creatures w/ CITP effects) to choose from.

I think this card is hilarious. I read the flavor text and then look at the picture on the card and I'm like, "That is so funny! That guy just killed himself!"

Well now we are in trouble. This means the railroad's going to have to go through Rock Ridge...
why the hell would a white deck attack a red deck that has this card in play? you must play with the worst players ever.

The art is just hilarious. It's almost like a Far Side cartoon.

Seems like it would be pretty sweet with something like life from the loam or some other way to get it back. You can do some politics in multi-player with this because you can just be like, don't make me quicksand your crappy dude, attack someone else, and they'll be like > 3 > ok gosh.
