Well, its a Land, rather than an Artifact... plus it has its other (search) ability as well.  ~ Tim

Not bad. But what happens flavor wise when one kamahl kills the other one?

That makes no sense to me.
If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?

Yup, just like you can have Birds of paradise  in a mono green deck but not Noble Hierarch  . YAY COLOR IDENTITY 
Is algebra really that difficult?
Survey says yes.

I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.

One thing I found interesting to note was that he has the same kind of transparent frame as the Planeswalkers, so you can see art all over the card. I wonder if all the Eldrazi are like this, or if we'll get to see some cards in a "standard" Colorless frame similar to the one found on Ghostfire (sans the dorky circular art window).
You want to see a card in a standard colorless frame? Walking Atlas
That one is soooo losing its errata baby!

So, how would I use a card that has a large  in the top half and "sui?l? -- pu?? ?is?q" across the middle?
Winning is not important if:
1. You win by a blowout.
2. You pay billions of dollars in cards to win. If you like wasting money just to win one game, while you could have saved it to lose a few and end up winning more in the future, then it is fine by me.
what?
do you ceremonially light your deck on fire after a win?
Or did no one notice Transmogrifying Licid  before. (And by not notice, I mean covered their ears and shouted LA LA LA LA  )
Hmmm...
I think the most awkward situation at the moment is simply the Myr Welder / Equipment / Licid / Aura craziness, but I'm pretty sure he's aware of it.
If the most awkward thing going on right now involves Licids, I declare victory.

Mage is awesome, BTW.
Dear Mage24365,
You are totally awesome. Thank you so much. I hope you are able to dine in Paradise without kicking the bucket to actually get there, and that every dollar you ever make magically becomes two more.
I don't think there are any cards like that.
There are things that prevent you from activating activated abilities, things that increase their cost, and things that counter them, but I don't think anything triggers from them specifically.
There are things that trigger from targeting, so that might be relevant, but I can't think of anything that triggers from targeting a player.
I'm almost positive there's nothing that triggers from damage being prevented.
Rings of Brighthearth  ; Dormant Gomazoa  ; Samite Ministration  .
Well played.

Oh good lord, this was an amazing way to preview a card. If all the Eldrazi are like this, then the money I spent on my Eye of Ugin's was wasted, but I wouldn't be to upest about that.
Why do some many people seem surprised/excited that Eldrazi aren't artifacts? I mean, it's not like there was anything hinting that they would be, and we know from Ghostfire that WotC was planning on making colorless important...at that point, everything being artifact as well would distract from the point, would it not?
Stop using "IMO" in sentences that aren't opinion. If you don't think a deck will ever be tier 1, that's great - but it's not an opinion. It's a prediction of the future. I identify as neither male nor female. You may refer to me with either gender pronoun or the singular they, whichever suits you best. ^_^ Re: Dismember  Everybody knows that having your awesome creatures killed before they can do anything is frustrating, but the Red mage in me doesn't seem to understand why it's so bad when his creatures spontaneously combust into Flame Javelin  s and make his opponent discard something at the same time.

Well, the set's probably all the same color, or non-color, so perhaps they arranged it by P/T? Since the set has Eldrazi in its name it is unlikely that there are only 5 cards with J or lower in their name.
Am I the only one who giggled when he kept going and going and going and going and going and going??? I thought it was a wee tacky.

Look at the card. Now back to Jace. Now back to that card, now back to Jace! Sadly, it isn't Jace, but if it stopped being a junk rare and became relevant, it could act like it's Jace. Crack some Worldwake. What do you have? You have a Jace, the card you wish this card could be like. Look again. THE CARD IS NOW A $75 BILL. Anything possible when you play Magic with Jace and not junk rares.

As a side note, that no-border art is some pretty cool shizz. I may just get one for that.

Yeah, I think that this set is probably all-colorless, but like you said, it doesn't make sense that they just alphabetized it. I forget if I read on MTGS or here, but someone speculated that 'real' colorless cards came first, and then 'fake' ones, like Ghostfire, would come afterwards, organized in normal WUBRG order.
Am I the only one who giggled when he kept going and going and going and going and going and going??? I thought it was a wee tacky.
Mmmm...boys giggling are cute.

Yes. I was so ecstatic about the Planeswalker art extending under the textbox, not to mention un-lands in Zendikar...and now this? Wotc loves me today. :D

Ha, yeah, I'm completely with you...I've been investing in Summoning Traps ever since that one article came out where there was a really popular one in FFL...I just got this strong feeling that it actually, was a good deck, rather than just some cheezy thing that wouldn't last in competitive play, and if there are many more cards like this, I think I was right. Especially since Eye can tutor and Jace can place it on top...probably a better way to do it, but I let obsessive Johnny's and Pro's figure that out.

It's acutally nothing like the planeswalker-frames, this one is completely borderless. Here's to hoping that a light coloured edge like that won't get ruined as soon as you touch it (as the case is with all white bordered cards).
