I run w/ Lair lands; from Planeshift I think it was. I like running these over City of Brass or Forbidden Orchard in most decks as of late, and I think it works even better with the Proliferate mechanic... Cool art also! Too bad it wasn't a Snow permanent, lol. I mean, it's a friggin "Ice" Bridge afterall. (Just joking... I know Coldsnap came after Kamigawa block)

And trust me after running mirrodin's core in my sliver deck you do not know how many time i wish didnt have to tap it to add a counter to it. only problem i could see with this card is that you have to use other cards to put more charge counters on it where as mirrodin's core is more self sufficient in the long run.

You ask why this card is better than mirrodin's core? Why of course because it comes into play untapped with a charge counter already on it, while all you can get from the core first turn is a colorless. Great strategy for multicolor decks and with the debut of the ravnica bounce lands, the tendo charge counter can be used more than once...I love this land.

This card defines multi-color strategy in the block constructed format. It also happens to be a turn-faster in constructed than Mirrodin's Core. All you have to do to realize that this card should be one of the most highly sought after cards is play with it.

This truelly is one of the most overated cards I've ever heard of! This card is soooo great. Why not use Mirrodin's Core instead?
