[BNG] Temple of Malice, Temple of Enlightenment, Temple of Plenty, and Springleaf Drum

The mothership has officially confirmed that Springleaf Drum will make a comeback in Born of the Gods. This little common artifact helps not only produce mana, but mana of any color for multicolor decks. In addition, this would be a great pick in Limited, regardless of the colors one chooses to play it with. Moreover, the originally Lorwyn common will have a new, moody artwork, compared to the colorful and lively Lorwyn version.

In addition, it's pretty sure now that there would only be three rare scry lands in Born of the Gods. Temple of Malice would provide a scry land for Black/Red. I'm pretty excited to see how two-color devotions will work out in Standard. Mono-blue and mono-black devotion has dominated the current Standard. Moving on, Temple of Enlightenment will give Azorius fans a scry land. Will the great W/U return to make a beating out of other decks? Finally, Temple of Plenty is for the Selesnya G/W fans. G/W has been one of those hard-to-beat aggro decks ever since I could remember in Ravnica: City of Guilds. They can have early-turn creatures that have tough defenses and great abilities, all the while having spells that could reinforce them and prepare for the offensive. Also, back in the days, Loxodon Hierarch and Glare of Subdual meant that it could also control the game by controlling the field.

STOCKING TIGER - 2013 Holiday Promo Card + Temple of Enlightenment, of Malice, and of Plenty

The Mothership has officially began the Holidays with their 2013 Holiday Promo Card: STOCKING TIGER. While it is indeed a fun card, it doesn't seem playable at all if you don't have any booster packs. But if you do have any, it'd be awesome. In addition, A CAT CONSTRUCT! They have finally arrived.

The artwork was done by Terese Neilsen and here is the full version:

According to user Ceth from MTGS, the remaining two scry dual lands sporting the Azorius and Selesnya colors are included in Born of the Gods (BNG). The Azorius scry land's art shows merchants preparing for trade, while the Selesnya scry land's art has some grass and animal on it.

In addition, Ceth also stated that there were multicolored creatures in the expansion and that there were cards in BNG that are supposed to affect or even make Modern even better with two unmentioned specific tribal creatures being pinpointed out.

The mothership just released the traditional Oracle of Salvation for Born of the Gods, and the guys at MTGS are at it to look at some possible cards.

It seems obvious that dual-color lands will be in the set, and three "temples" have been supposedly identified so far:

Temple of Enlightenment
