this card is great in one matchup vs heartbeat uncoutrble kill on the single swamp and mountain.

I beleive this card will see some tournament play most likely in sbs htough.

You obv don't know anything about 1.5 or t1. In 1.5 most decks run basics. Top teir decks like goblins, solidity, burn all runs basics. The ownly deck thats is top teir that runs no basics is threshold. Ask yourself why you you ever restrict this card when you can play 4x wasteland? Also 1.5 dosn;t have restrictions Smile Its not a bad card though, just a worse wasteland, i like it.

Okay thats funny that you say they know nothing of Legacy then say Threshhold runs no basics. All Threshhold decks run 2-4 basics to fetch if the opponent has a Wasteland on the board. Truth be told this card couldn't be much worse in legacy as the only decks that don't run basics are Scrub.dec and a few combo decks that aren't going to care too much if you kill a land. It is simply like 1000 times worse then Wasteland in all but the most limited situations. So yeah this will never ever see play in a serious Legacy deck though it does have (very) limited uses in all other formats even limited where it's a ghetto fetchland and can atleast mess up people who drop bouncelands..

This card is good in land d against every deck except ww and burn (ww just gets another of the same land, burn just gets more mana to play a spell that turn)


- I'd rather my opponent has an island instead of a steam vents
- against zoo and curio it's a strip mine


Is it pro tour quality? Probably not but just because it takes some thought to play correctly but 90% of the time doesn't dismiss it. It's a lot better late game in a land d deck because it's instant speed.. Land D is drooling over two instant speed spells ^_^

hmm I think this card insane
you just need to sacrifice it targeting itself
it is just search you library for basic land card and put in into play drawing this card you get any basic land you want and thining your library for 1 card reducing chance drawing land
any deck with basic land cards need 4 copy of ghost quarters
and it has bonus to kill annoing opponent land

depends on the format played in. the more basic lands in the format the worse it gets. as for t2 it might see play, if not in the s/b then in 2 color aggro decks. making ur opp lose tron is good. hitting bounce lands is good. hitting duals is bad.


WTF!

It might see play in T1 or T1.5

It'll never see play in T2


theres these cards that like to be called strip mi9ne and wasteland, and after that theres something called sinkhole if ur really desperate

its more likely to see SB play for tron than anything else in t2, it wont touch other formats

You do not get a basic land if you target Ghost Quarter with its own ability.

It allows you to sac the Ghost Quarter as part of the cost (since you have a legal target) but the ability will be countered on resolution because your target is no longer legal (it is no longer in play).

So saccing a Ghost Quarter to itself only Strip Mines your own land. You do not get a replacement.
