Oh, this is instant speed. And I guess the General's Outpost could always be a surprise blocker. Hm. Now that I think of it, I wonder why more lands don't do stuff at sorcery speed. "I accidentally walked my guy into a man-land" is a very annoying way to lose a tournament. Ah well, I guess you have Magic's history on your side, Link.
I feel like you're misunderstanding the cards somehow, jmagiepy. They're all enemy color hosers just like Celestial Purge and Flashfreeze, so they don't do anything if your opponent isn't playing the right colors. They're also not at "instant speed." They're triggered abilities, and they trigger off of your opponent playing lands. That's not usually at instant speed. Maybe I'm just confused about your comments.
Ah, no, I missed the word 'opponent'. That changes quite a bit, true.
Even if it cared about your own landfall, that's still sorcery speed and not going to be happening mid-combat... I'm not sure what misreading jmgariepy managed here, but it looks like a fairly drastic one!
