Nope, the card art has nothing to do with Shadowmoor. The art used comes from the first print (Invasion).

As you cast harrow could you target a terramorphic expanse, for harrow's additional cost, and then sacrifice it using terramorphic's expanse own ability? Or harrow would be countered that way?

@TongueSlicer:
You can't do that. Harrow doesn't sac a target land upon resolution. Terramorphic Expanse would be sacrificed immediately as part of Harrow's casting cost. Paying the casting cost of a spell can't be interrupted, therefore you couldn't tap Terramorphic Expanse for its land search ability.
If T.E. read "when this card is sacrificed" or "when this card is put into a graveyard from play" or something, then you could do what you're asking. As it stands T.E. has to tap and sacrifice itself to activate its land search ability, which is a payment separate from being sacrificed to pay for Harrow.
Assuming you could interrupt the casting cost of Harrow, when it came time to pay it you would have to sacrifice a different land, or else the spell would be countered.
2/5. This card is bad bad bad. I really dont see why its got such a high score. I mana leak everytime this card has been played against me. Im giving it the satifaction of 2 points because it could be brutal in a landfall deck playing against some1 who isnt running blue.

@dberry02-
Go make that comment on every card ever printed, or shut up. :)
No spot of nature is truly barren, unless someone casts Counterspell.

@AlBout That's why he is sacrificing one of the Flagstones. When it's sent to the graveyard he gets to search for a Plains card, including Hallowed Fountain/Godless Shrine.

Shadow of Doubt for those who don't just want to counter it, but make the opponent wish they hadn't cast it.
Just because Harrow doesn't do too well against blue doesn't mean it's a bad card. Last time I checked, some decks aren't blue.
One little trick you can do with Harrow in a green-blue deck is to make people think that you can't counter their spells when, because of Harrow, you can. For example, lets say you have Harrow and Cancel in your hand. You have three forests and one island untapped. The opponent might think that you can't counter their game-changing creature, so they cast it. In response, you cast Harrow, search for enough islands that you can cast Cancel, then cast it.

"Cancel."

Watch out for those counterspells though.
I'm really split between liking this or the Zendikar art better. Both are so good.
Yes.
Combined with Scapeshift, and Azusa, you can vomit lands onto the field.
Also, very good card, especially for landfall. It's so sad that any form of counter causes so much card disadvantage
I've had my Harrow hit with a spell pierce.
A change of perspective is a huge change in heart.
Temple Garden and Godless Shrine aren't basic land.
They have sub-type that are basic land, but it's not a basic land.
To get those land out, you need something like Skyshround claim that will get any land with a "forest" type out.
Harrow specify basic land.
