Scry 2... Thats what they needed to say. Scry is exponentially better when it is greater than 1. One card can sometimes send away nonrelevant cards but is usually just "look at top card" because the chance of getting something worse is too high. When you scry >1 you are make an informed and impactful descision about your next draw instead of leaving it almost entirely ro chance.
I agree. These lands do not deserve a rare slot just because they are guildgates with scry 1 ducttaped onto them. However these lands will no doubt see play. Not because they are good, but just because they are strictly better than the guildgates. They will be a 2-3 colored deck's only option.

I don't know if the scry is actually enough to make them better than guild gates. At least guild gates have tutors and other cards that interact with them, these just look at your top card. :/

I've been a fan of scry since  {Halimar Depths}

Because the gatekeepers are great cards to run because gate decks are ruling standard. If there is something that interacts with gates i'd say its crap because no gate cards are playable ever EVER E V E R Never ever ever ever run guildgates unless you absolutley have too

Unless you run Rakdos  {Geralf's Messenger} don't run gates lol

Really? Guildgates are sweet, though they haven't been necessary with the core duals. We run shocks that we often have come in tapped anyway. I totally 100% believe {Maze's End} is going to pop up somewhere. The scry lands are AMAZING I think. I'm only annoyed that everybody's getting them, because I'm a greedy blue mage :)

If you have a {steam vents} and a {izzet guildgate} which will you run?


Vampyvyrus

Is it just me or is {reaper of the wild} pretty sick? Maybe it's bc I'm currently making a BG deck, but either way I like it. 4/5 with 4cmc and 3 abilities? Yes please.

Birdbrain

Ok. I know what I'm running at the prerelease. White, because I want to build a heroic aura pillow deck

With {ajani's chosen} as my bomb in the deck

Depending on what I need or have, probably drop the guild gate first if I don't have a 1 drop so I can shock myself next turn for a 2 drop.. Everything is situational!

I may just be too tired for cognitive ability, but why is Kragmar Warcaller part {B}?

Birdbrain

I just realized...with the new enchantment creatures...pillow fort can go almost entirely creatures if it wants to
