Naming basic lands anyone? You can bring him out as early as turn 2 if you happen to have 2 dark rituals.

This thing is has so much flavor for a Legend from Legends. It's enough for me to excuse the ability, which is only average, but interesting. 3/5!

@Lege: 2 dark rituals won't do squat! There is a blue in there you know...

Just bounce what you dislike and then name it with him.

@Keino: Say you have one blue mana source and one black mana source on turn two... 1) You pay the first Dark Ritual with your black source. (Mana pool: BBB) 2) You pay the second Dark Ritual with mana from the First Dark Ritual (Mana pool: BBBBB) 3) Tap your blue source and you have: BBBBBU 4) Cast Nebuchadnezzar 5) ??? 6) Profit

You don't have to combo him for him to be useful. At worst, you know everything in your opponent's hand the first time you use the ability. At Best, you opponent never gets anything they want.

Great for control decks using bounce abilitys, great land removal, and perfect for telepathy :) Also you could get him out on turn 2 using the 2 dark rituals, your other land just has to be an island. (Use the extra black mana left over from it for a duress and then already learn their hand)

X= 1-# of cards in enemy player's hand. Next turn, named card in hand will be the best card you happened to see. End result: enemy losing best card every turn!

This is the first Legend I ever got. I don't know what everybody is talking about, he never made the slightest bit of difference in the game. He sucks, too slow.

@Keino: Lege's comment makes sense. T1: swamp... chillax T2: island, double dark ritual + 1 blue mana, + the one extra that you can let float away because mana burn doesn't exist anymore

Works great with Telepathy on the field. For each turn you can remove any card from your opponent's hand. A couple of turns of that and your opponent is stuck top-decking. As long as you keep at least one counterspell handy, you essentially have the game in lockdown.

What's this? A Legends legend whose mechanics and colors actually match up? I guess they had to get least a couple right, by pure chance.

I just got this guy...I think I'm going to make a commander deck around him.

Buying 4 just for the art alone.
Definitely gonna try making a UB control deck with him, maybe with Training Grounds or Telepathy. It'd be casual and flavorful, mostly just for fun, but isn't that the best reason to make a deck?

I like how, unlike a lot of cards with similar effects, you can actually name basic lands. You probably wouldn't even want to, considering your opponent will just be playing them out whenever he draws them, but it's a nice option to have.
Plus... that glorious name.

Ok seriously, this is another card with the wrong mana cost and wrong CMC in the Gatherer.

Sadly no, while he IS good with Telepathy, his ability reveals cards at random, so, just because you know which card is the one you want, doesn't mean that's the one he'll pick.
Still a nice card, especially when compared to the other legendary creatures of his era. Oh yeah, and that artwork... Can't forget the artwork...
