Jabor posted:The reason you play a shock/check manabase is so that you have consistently untapped mana of the colours you want. If your lands always come into play tapped then you don't have that. We already have typed lands that cycle away late-game (and have a better cycling ability to boot), and those also see no play at all. I guess we'll have to see if having access to three colors is enough of an offset to make them worth it for high-tier play.

A fun but niche corner case I just realized with these, if you get them with a Robber of the Rich/Thief of Sanity type effect, they would get the kicker effect if you spent, in this case, 2RG to cast them.

Green getting raise dead isn't that problematic seeing as it has been able to regrow cards, especially permanents, for ages, but it's still weird as hell seeing the raise dead in this set being green.

They speak to this in the rules guide posted just before. They do not trigger off of “you many spend mana of any type...” effects, and only check the lands that tapped.

Bust Rodd posted:4/5 castles see Standard play and Garenbrig even shows up from time to time, probably more now that we have behemoths The castles don't come into play tapped 90% of the time though, these come into play tapped 100% of the time. That's a massive difference.

Tainen posted:Another “excess damage” card. Feel like this is one that has the opportunity to win quite a few games. Some moderately interesting cards I haven't seen anyone else post yet:  Reprint, seems solid for Kroxa/Uro decks.  Downside seems pretty marginal a lot of the time, question is whether you want a 4/5 menace for 1BB.  Costing 1 more than Agonizing Remorse sucks but Cycling is very relevant for an effect that is often completely dead past turn 5 or so.   (reprint)Someone in development is concerned about 1 toughness creatures!  Mills 3 cards on an on curve-ish body.  Seems like you could do some pretty broken poo poo with this.  For all you Ugin/Mystic Forge nerds.  Flexible sideboard option.  Maybe goes infinite with something?

meanolmrcloud posted:They speak to this in the rules guide posted just before. They do not trigger off of “you many spend mana of any type...” effects, and only check the lands that tapped. The point is that if you have one of those effects, you can play it spending, say, RGGG, or RRWG, or CCRG, and still get the kicker - which is much easier than the very restrictive UURG if you were to cast it normally.

Normal sized set but it feels like there are more cards that “do stuff” than normal so that could make it feel bigger. Also maybe because half the cards have 2 or 3 alt arts.

You can slam Sphinx of the Guildpact on the same turn you play Titan's Nest, if you've stocked your yard enough. Or run out Impervious Greatwurm the turn afterwards. The obvious in-set combo is with Titanoth Rex, for an early 11/11. The Myojin from Kamigawa actually seem like decent things to cheat on mana with this, having relatively large colourless components to their mana costs and a potent effect if you do play them from hand instead of cheating them some other way. You can make a whole bunch of saprolings with Verdeloth, since Kicker X costs are fair game. But honestly it's probably good just slamming multiple big spells a turn rather than trying for a specific combo.

 The Wanderer is back! Are we still thinking she's Emrakul or what?  The only thing my daughter loves as much as cats are stegosauruses, and this is great. Kalamax's deck looks decent right out of the box, I'll just need to find a spot for Runic Armasaur and she'll be good to go.

The ability of Thrash to hit planeswalkers is the main reason I ever board it in. Unless 1-2 more very good tramplers are printed (or Rancor gets a pioneer reprint), I'm not sure it's worth it.

In this hypothetical situation, R, W, and R/W count as different mana symbols. As do R, Phyrexian R, and 2/R from Shadowmoor.

Any suggestions on things to make this completely idiotic deck do the idiotic thing I'm trying to do a little smoother? (suggestions to add blue artifact synergies will be met with the same obstinance as dril replying to the candle tweet.)
