I had a friend deliberately not play anything on turn 1 so he could discard this at the end of his turn for free. Yeesh.

That isn't a very good way to use this... Waiting to play something so he can discard is kind of bad, why not just use Zuran Orb? Gain 2 life and still get this thing in there.

Play it, and sac it with Harrow.

I'm sure the card isn't as great as it looks, but that second effect is just so enticing.

Incredible card - amazed only for these colours. A B/U version would wreak havoc, or even B/anything. I'll need to get a playset of these, post-haste.

Too bad there wasn't some kind of cycle for all of these Judgement lands.

wow, this card looks too good to be true, something i would place in a five color singleton deck. similar plan to Ideatog if i started with it, i am a big fan of WG after alara, however i only play it in 3 or 4 color decks, this would definitely help me along

I run a B/G/W saproling EDH deck, and thought this card would be amazing. When it actually gets to work, it is...definitely one of the best mana fixers I've seen. However, with graveyard hate so prevalent in EDH, this thing doesn't stick around for long. In normal 60 card games, I could see this being of more use, especially with being able to run more than one in a deck, and there isn't all that much graveyard hate in 60 card games. However, there are definitely better ways to fix mana.

I've never heard of this card before. It seems like it could be really good, and it is cheap too!
I was really hoping there would be a cycle.

Punish the discard player and fix your mana at the same time ftw

Difficult to use most of the time;
-I liked it in my dredge decks for making swamps tap for green.

-In green and white there is harrow and crop rotation, but both of those fix your mana anyway.

-You could use entomb, but that would normally just be better to get a fatty; given all of the grave-hate in legacy anyway.

All in all, it found a use in my casual dredge, but I haven't figured it out elsewhere except maybe Dust Bowl; but again, you've probably fixed your mana by then anyway.
