Yes, they will see play in Standard, but we're not going to like it!!

On the other hand, the NEXT standard might be even more mono-colored, so I'm sure these will fetch a decent price one day.

I don't understand why people are hating on these scrylands so much. It sets up your next draw FOR FREE. Yes, it's slow, but with WotC trying to drive home the devotion mechanic, it doesn't make much sense for these lands to come in untapped--or to be uncommon.

This looks like a dystopian sci-fi universe seen through the filter of Magic. Me likey.

I think this might be the best of the scry lands so far. It's in a color combination with limited draw/filter access. And it isn't a color combination that has to be on curve every turn, unlike RG or RW. Lots of potential. 4/5.

I don't like them either, but I think this is Wizards planning out a slower Standard for the future. Either that, or Amulet of Vigor is coming soon...

Even with Amulet of Vigor, I think there are better taplands.

Awesome name, stunning art.

Players nowadays are so ungrateful. They got spoiled by the Ravnica shocklands and now they have the audacity to hate on these very fine lands.

Do NOT underestimate these scry lands, especially in this slower Standard environment. They minimize the chance of a crappy topdeck and get you the answers you need, early and late game.

These would have been better in the R eturn to Ravnica block when Scry in Standard would have been awesome due to Miracle, but Miracle will be gone when these come out, so unless you are playing something that relies heavily on the idea of getting cards right when you need them, I can't imagine these will see much play.

Sucks that Standard will lose the innistrad dual lands for these.

It's interesting how these guys slow your curve down, and speed it up at the same time. I can actually see this speeding up Black/White because of the early Scry and thus the higher potential I get something to fit whatever curve I'm on.

I feel like these should've scryed 2. But that might push 'em over the edge, I dunno.

These are the single most powerful cards in theros, you are complaining about them being rare?

Athreos, God of Silence. This is the Exact Name I predict for the White-Black God. :)

I love how this is currently rated lower than Orzhov Guildgate.

I recently realized what the art depicts. That huge arc? It's actually two ships propped up against each other! God of passage indeed.
