Um. I was sure I made a card on this line; but I can't find it now. Anyhow; I think being down a card is a pretty big punishment for giving every player a land on turn 1. I guess you can be set up for it better than your opponents; but I feel the reward ought to be a bit bigger, or the failure mode should be a bit better than colourless.

The reward seems pretty big if you can get two to go off, and play a card that costs {b}{r}{g} on round one. This might be one of those cards that looks not so hot, but, in practice, busts the game wide open. It is a bit like a Mox on round one, after all...

I guess. Equally busts it open for the other player; but I guess that doesn't matter since they won't get a turn.

Indeed, it's a symmetrical Mox on round 1, which is a rather hard-to-evaluate proposition.
