taps for blue, so you can play a turn three storm crow

lol

All the Invasion mana fixing has since been invalidated as underpowered. Interesting.

works for Invasion block decks. Tap Dream Thrush when a lair comes into play to change it into a basic land before its ability activates.

@dragonoth: its second ability still goes on the stack

Why not just unsummon a land? You can play it the next turn. It's not a huge loss. For the choice between three lands, I would have thought they would make it a bit steeper.

I call it the Dubstep Lair.
Why?
wubwubwubwubwubwub

If you have a basic (or not stall) land in play, tap it for mana, then throw this out to return the tapped one. If it's the same phase, you get the mana for the first land and for this one.

Interesting design space.
I like it.

Orim: Have you considered landfall and lands with comes-into-play effects? Or EDH even?

Let's look these lairs this way:

1. If you only have lairs in your hand, mulligan.
2. Play the lairs only if you have no other land drop, remember to float the mana from the unsummoned land.
3. If you played a lair you have a land drop for the next turn also.
4. If you draw a land on the turn after you played the lair, you have a land drop for the next turn also.
5. Eventually you lose because you only draw lands for the rest of the game or you don't draw a land.
6. If you don't draw a land you can play a land because you have one in yor hand.
7. Now you have done all manadrops you could have done even if the lair wasn't a lair and you have access to the lairs mana or you have lost because you get land screwed drawing nothing but.

So are they useable in 3+ color deck or not?

Oops, there goes my Zoetic Cavern again.

Roil Elemental, Ob Nixilis, The Fallen. You can tap the land you're using to pay the printed additional cost before it bounces. If you just don't want to bounce a land or can't, but like the Esperine-Lotus Petal effect for //, just tap the lair for mana and sac it thereafter...making this a better first turn drop for some strategies than a fetchland, for example.
