probably for next set

Ow. Hard to benefit from the Fuse much, unless you've got Prismatic Omen or similar.

or you play a bunch of basics. where it becomes BBWW: target creature gets +x/+x where x is equal to number of lands you control. dual lands just double the bonus.

Alex's comment is appropriate, but I just happen to be one of the minority of players who love it when cards throw a curveball my way. It's very nifty.

you just have to understand the purpose of this card. it's designed for b/w decks. if you have only swamps and plainses, then fusing is not an issue. in that case as said before, fusing basically means +1/+1 for each land, as long as those lands is either swamp or plains.

And as long as you've drawn 2 of each. Ghost Council of Orzhova was hard to cast on turn 4 unless you had a playset of Godless Shrines and similar. Not that you particularly want to cast this on turn 4, of course, but even on turn 6-7 it'd be easy to be stuck on or .

Just casting one half in a mono deck is probably good enough. "All my creatures are huge/huge an unblockable or indestructible"? Yum. That sort of thing usually costs ish.

exactly. even if the small chance you can't fuse with 6+ lands, you can pay 2 mana for almost the full effect. that's only -1/-1 or -2/-2 and one less keyword if you're missing a land type for fusing.

similar effects cost between 1cc to 5cc counting various stuff like plains, swamps, elves, power, cards revealed, etc. where 4 or 5cc are usually permanent effects (i.e. aura and equipment.)

also there are quite a few cards for searching out lands. though probably need some more swamp-search effects.

That's a fair set of points. OK, I'm fine with this.
