Editing Homelands

Essentially [[Ice Age]]'s retarded younger brother. Homelands is widely regarded to be the most confusing, uninspired, and wholly misbegotten expansion in MtG history. Color mechanics were muddled if not entirely missing, the art was eye searingly awful, it retained some of the worst mechanics (cantrip, ante) of previous sets long after they were known to be awful ideas, added nothing new, was weirdly fixated on hyper specific [[hose]]s, and was generally a load of soul draining crap. Probably it's one lasting contribution to the game was the introduction of mono-color legends (though on the whole they were every bit as unplayable as their [[Legends]] block counterparts).

==Notable Cards==
===Memory Lapse===

Actually not an awful card by today's standards but was widely panned at the time since it competed with the undiluted bullshit that was counterspell and mana drain.

==Baron Sengir==

One of the more memorable cards (and one of the few to be reprinted). It had the slight issue that there was only one other vampire '''in the game''' at the time (and Baron can't target himself).

==Merchant Scroll==

Homelands wasn't entirely without it's cheese. For two mana you got a respectable [[tutor]] card that wouldn't be overshadowed for many editions.

==Serrated Arrows==

Saw widespread tournament use when wizards forced people to play with Homelands cards. It was the only removal card in the set that wasn't monstrously overcosted, specifically targeted at a single creature type, or both.

==File:Timmerian Fiends.jpg==
This card was the last of it's kind, and typifies everything that was wrong with ''Homelands''. Behold the confusing design, the awful defunct mechanics like ante, the "artwork" of Mike Kimble. All bound up and printed on one sanity rending cardboard rectangle.

===Apocalypse Charm===

In case you were under the fevered misconception that a ''Homelands'' centered deck was a good idea the developers helpfully added this card to disabuse you. The last set wide hose ever made, and thank god.
