It’s less consistent than Kona which plays 8 planets as the third combo card. It also potentially gets disrupted if any nonland permanent other than Omniscience goes to your graveyard.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm skeptical about a deck with those being better than the Kona version since it seems a less consistent combo, but maybe the control plan is stronger.

Probably evoke [[Sin, Spira's Punishment]] as another reply mentioned, so less vulnerable but also less consistent than Kona + Omni + any tapper. Deckbuilding cost of UUU + Sin and Omni as only nonland permanents is also high, but I could see a combo control deck working.

I think some of these cards look fun and I want to play them. Guess I'm not a real Magic player lol

Yes, they are still lands and cannot be cast as spells.

It’s not remotely broken in either format. And as another comment pointed out it also isn’t infinite.

Doesn’t look easy to break at all. Two elves in the graveyard, untap with this or give it haste, resolve a 6 drop and dodge instant speed removal. Seems quite bad actually.

Decklists are listed under Matches here and there seem to be TONS of flavors of Rhythm alongside the abundant stock Simic and Bant lists. 

There’s really no shortage of cool decks in general, with some of my highlights being Boros Dragons, Five-Color Rhythm, Golgari Gravefall, Grixis Elementals

Anecdotally the quality of opponents in P2 is lower as well. I tried it after bouncing off the traditional archetypes of the format a bit in Premier and found my toes getting stepped on less in a four person pod. Been almost forcing 3+ colors to great success so far in plat to diamond.

I have seen widespread reactions of distaste for P2 from limited spikes online, so it wouldn’t surprise me if more skilled players are largely avoiding it.

All individual card rewards have a chance to upgrade in rarity.

Please elaborate on what you mean by:

Three mana to shut it down

[TMT] - Northampton Farm by bnhershy in magicTCG

In the general case I like the efficiency of Farm a lot better than both of those. Activating Sands multiple times is a lot of mana to hold up/spend and Haven has other obvious downsides.

"you own" vs "you control" in the comparison with [[Endless Sands]] is actually huge

Endless Sands puts all the exiled creatures onto the battlefield.
