BOOM [Enemy Fetch Lands]

Enemy fetch lands have been confirmed to be in Zendikar. This means Zendikar will be as profitable if not more profitable to pack than M10. It also means that a lot for the world of magic in the coming moths.

Price
Expect these to start at $12 (at the least) and go up from there. Onslaught fetches are all selling for at least $12 and they are only legal in Legacy and Vintage; these will also be legal in Extended and Standard which will make them more desirable.

Standard
These fetches will serve as mana fixers as well as fuel the land fall mechanic, but what excites me the most is how these will enable Knight of the Reliquary. I can see the rise of a Bant deck using Knight of the Reliquary, Baneslayer Angel, Nobel Hierarch, Harrow and the best counter magic in the format.

Extended
The existence of fetches in Extended means that Zoo will still be a forced to be reckoned with. This also strengthens the “Level” Blue manabase (U/G allows for a Tarmo friendly splash).

Legacy / Vintage
Some decks in the Eternal formats will benefit from these fetches. These decks come to mind:

Eva Green (G/B)
Threshold (U/G)
Tezzeret/ Time Vault (U/R)
Canadian Thresh (U/G and U/R)

In a format teaming with wastelands there’s something to be said about being able to get basics.

Enemy Fetches are not just a passing T2 phase like Bitterblossom, they have roots deep in the heart of Magic; even EDHers are rejoicing. I recommend that you get your sets and hold onto them. I'm reading: BOOM [Enemy Fetch Lands]Tweet this!
