Omnath, Locus of Rage

Wizards of the Coast 25 Aug 2015

Omanth doesn't have the land type Locus.

Wizards of the Coast 25 Aug 2015

If Omnath dies at the same time as any other Elementals you control, Omnath's last ability will trigger for each of them (and once for itself).

Risen Reef

Wizards of the Coast 12 Jul 2019

If you put the card into your hand, you don't have to reveal it. You also don't have to tell your opponent whether it's a nonland card or a land card you decided not to put onto the battlefield tapped.

Voice of Resurgence

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

The power and toughness of the token change as the number of creatures you control changes. The token's ability counts itself, so it'll be at least 1/1.

Also Printed in Other Drops

Some of these cards came in other Secret Lair drops too, each with its own art.
