		<description><![CDATA[Ranth,

You&#039;re absolutely right. I agree with you that Eye and Mysteries are bad.  

Explore is the one card I am really pumped for, for my standard GRb deck which running Resounding Thunder.  It was basically tailor made for that deck.  I think it is a well designed card with a good power level.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mysteries will certainly see play in standard due to the lack of draw spell however im my opinion that doesn&#039;t take away the fact that it&#039;s a insanely over priced card.

As for eye i&#039;ll admit i wasn&#039;t overly high on the card but yes the fact it allows manafixing outside of green is huge and most likely will see play from that factor alone..how much play however is still up in the air. 

I&#039;ll admit i haven&#039;t had much personal experience in piloting a thunder deck so wasn&#039;t able to comment much on that front however you&#039;re right the card may very well be an auto include for that style of deck.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh one more:

Mysteries of the Deep.

Control has no decent instant speed card draw in standard or block.  The potential to draw 2-3 cards at instant speed is significant for any control deck running counters.  This card will see play in blue based control decks in standard and block..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ranth,

Thanks for making that video.  I enjoyed watching it.

The cards I thought that were underrated were Explore and Pilgrim&#039;s Eye.

Explore has excellent synergy with a Kodoma&#039;s Thunder type deck that relies on drawing and laying lands consistently.  Also, between Quicksand, the Bog, and the Depths, additional lands have added returns of providing spell-like effects.  This cards is most definitely not for every deck, but I can think of two or three competitive decks that explore presents with new interactions hat were not previously available in pauper.

Pilgrim&#039;s Eye I see as a potentially powerful standard and an even more powerful block card.  The Eye is one of the only decent mana fixers outside of green in Zen block. It enables non green to benefit from mana the consistentcy that green decks running civic wayfinders have.  The 1/1 flier is just an added bonus as a chump blocker or a guy that can end up swinging for 4-5 damage over the course of a game.  It is underwhelming, but I think the eye will be amongst the most played cards in pauper Zen Block Constructed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is more of the threat factor that intrigues me. Landfall certainly doesn&#039;t need ramp. Can you ever block a geopede/lynx or even use removal on it when one tap potentially gives your whole team +2/+2? 

As I said, probably too janky... but intriguing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For standard Pauper Naya landfall sees plenty of play, and infact i&#039;d call it a top deck however, I can&#039;t really say that the deck has need for mana ramping or that the &quot;bounce trick&quot; is reliable enough for Atlas to see pauper play. I could however picture it in a non pauper Zendikar block deck with said tricks.]]></description>
