Choose one or both —
• Return target spell or creature to its owner's hand.
• Brutal Expulsion deals 2 damage to target creature
or planeswalker. If that permanent would be put into
a graveyard this turn, exile it instead.

I like the idea behind this card. Remand/Unsummon + Shock almost doesn't seem worth the 4 mana (compared to, say, Ojutai's Command, which has many more modes). I like that it has "modes" that are all good against Hangarback Walker, Den Protector, and Deathmist Raptor, though.

just a question ...

How about $800 foil german polluted delta from about 3-4 years ago?

lol. But I can imagine russian "Expedition" lands being rather absurdly expensive compared to regular english.

They come into play tapped and essentially also act as a 1 mana spell that's in-color. They seem okay to me. Not crap, not super powerful.

Black and green ones have a lot of potential in limited.
Blue and green feel like they could see constructed play.
Red and white aren't very exciting for aggressive decks because the effect is at sorcery speed and prevents you from curving up on-schedule.

Yes, the other 20 lands are in the next set.

Also, did anyone else notice that there are no White Devoid/Eldrazi cards in BFZ?? I wonder what does that mean from a flavor standpoint.

---

The eldrazi are colorless evil. They seem to have now adapted colored mana.

Sounds like they're setting us up for something white happening next set.

So, I just want to be sure about this, but if my opponent casts a card like Planar Outburst for it's Awaken cost, and I destroy the land being targeted in response with a card like Grip of Desolation, the awaken spell will completely fizzle? It looks like it could be a huge ruling to know for the prerelease.

There's been a ton of BfZ testing online and people are in love with bad cards. I honestly think this entire set should've been aborted. It's awful.
