Always chuckled when Nicol Bolas in DotP played like 8 moxes and then this piece. It's like really, that's your big spell? And then he played Grave and Inferno Titan. And then I kicked a Rite of Replication at the Inferno Titan and killed him immediately. Good times...

Bolas will have his lands, whether you like it or not.

Interesting thought: By sacrificing this, you ensure that you have the mana upkeep that pre-ascension Nicol Bolas needed to stick around. (Of course, with my luck, that's exactly what Trygon Predator meant...)
This Makes Me Look Forward To A Time In The Ravnica Block Coming Up Where They Just Might Print A New Nicol Bolas. Then I'll Play Stompy With Big Grixis Guys And Nicol Bolas.

I hear you, Lord Bolas, and I obey... lands you shall have, and there shall be much mana ramping to better smite thy foes...

Well, at least we all finally know what's up with that thing between his horns. At least we know what its called....

Does this effect fizzle if you don't have all 3 lands in your library? --nevermind, I guess not.

It's the magical stone that floats between the horns of the oldest being in the multiverse.
And it's uncommon.

The gem ensures Lord Bolas has all of the mana he needs to make his enemies suffer.

Has anyone else noticed that the original Nicol Bolas doesn't have the Gem of Becoming between his horns, but that Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker does? I wonder if it had anything to do with him becoming a planeswalker...

This helps thinning out your deck, increasing the chance to draw cards you really need with your new mana. And its affordable =)

So whenever you have land problems in a game think... even Bolas worries about them enough to keep his lucky charms.

That's a lot of card advantage and mana-fixing for a casual deck. Also, finds everything you need to cast Foil for free while being card neutral all-told!

Hey, is that a Gem of Becoming on your face? because if I was on your face I'd be coming too.

Shocklands to me seem very Bolas-flavored.
With Power Artifact and Etherium Sculptors, you can make a Mox Bolas! XD
