If a spell version of Ghost Quarter was to be created, what would you cost it?
Collapse the Fort
Sorcery
Destroy target land. Its controller may search his or her library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield. Then that player shuffles his or her library.
Is one mana the appropriate cost for this effect or should it be 2? Could it be an instant? Is the effect appropriate in both red and green?
It would be a very weak card in limited/standard but very strong in more eternal formats
Honestly, I think we will see BG/x making a big shift over to either white for lingering souls/KotR/kitchen finks, or it will shift back towards the loam assualt type of deck. Both decks heavily utilized the graveyard. I think BG/x will probably stay up on the top tables, just not as much as before which is nice.
It's hard to say where the meta will go now. DRS kept a lot of things out of the format. With it being gone, the list of cards that are playable again is nearly endless.
Here is a list off the top of my head what is now considerably more playable with DRS gone (some of which are already seeing some play):
Grim Lavamancer doesn't quite fill the same role. Something like Arbor Elf is far more likely to ramp into a turn 2 Liliana. Bloodbraid Elf doesn't quite deserve a ban, but I think Maro's too stubborn to unban it.
Gains you life off of a big genesis wave too
Perhaps, or perhaps not. If I try and throw lightning bolts at you every turn, can you counter them all?

Well, there's still Nacatl but that's only one deck. And it used fetches anyway or Goyf and KotR
Speaking of which, what is the best Zoo build? Naya or 5-color?
He just got banned and you already want to free deathrite shaman? Really?
Rest in Peace and Relic of Progenitus become a bit more important now
Might be time to try Gifts storm once again
Maro has no say in what gets banned or unbanned
Jund has a good zoo matchup right?
On one hand, we lost a creature that turns fetches into mana
On the other hand, Zoo needs fetches to turn nacatl on by turn 2
I guess they will stay the same
Hey, as long as we get 2 new unbans for every ban the list will shrink considerably in no time
