Who gives mishra factory 4 stars?!?!?! i play this in just about any of my serious 1.5 decks, from land destroy (with a playset of sinkholes, mishra is the major attack force) to straight up burn (adds damage to conserve burn spells) to my discard deck (with thoughtseize x4 and mishra as a backup to equip umezawa's jhitte) and my destroy everything deck (playsets of pernicous deeds, windswept heaths, wrathof god, swords, nevinyrrak's disk. its a good land as a 2/2 creature then when he can block a 3/3 can deter most small attacks to buy you time. when you have more then one the blocking power increases. drop a cruicible of world and the only card that will give you trouble is a swords to plowshares. This is the best card ever created in magic that isn't banned to in 1.5

although 'mishra's factory' is more powerful at a 2/2 and by merely tapping itself can give another compadre +1/+1, i think its been surpassed by the new generation 'blinkmoth nexus.' which is kinda sad really as i dig the old style more. but the newer land was a cool idea, although i'm not for ripping off the past when it comes to new ideas for new blocks. but i think the mechanics and flying ability of the new land are enough to delight without spoiling the nostalgic tripping too much. and that's the heart of it really...'blinkmoth nexus' flys and 'mishra's factory' doesn't. in the metagame such trifling differences retire the old to the bench sooner and bring in the eager young beavers..................
