If 5$ is a steal 10$ is a shame, sell it at 8$ and make 7$ profit!
Why? so many why to me…
– Playing 3 colors (or more) will be easier than ever. Even now, Espere control or RWU decks play 3 colors fairly easlily. And RtR brings 2 bi-color lands of each colors.
– Not all the cards are spoiled, if signets (or like) are reprinted, in combination with all the bi-color land we have I prefer having a T2 mana ramp than T3. And if you play green for Far seek, you have 5 colors T2!
– A 3cc stone, as good it is (produce anything is pretty good 🙂 that only produce mana… only produce mana… No 2nd ability (Vessel of Endless rest), no real acceleration like (Worn Powerstone, or Coalition Relic).
Basically, I predict no play at all in standard for the Lantern.

I love the Troll and the Bird!
