In a deck with 24 instant/sorceries, this gets 0 or 1 card 32.7% of the time. With 30, that goes down to 17.6%. That's still a pretty high failure rate. You need 34 instant/sorceries to hit 2 cards 90% of the time. If this gets played, it's because it fills your graveyard effectively, but I doubt it will happen.

It seems to me that the filter lands fit in well with OGW mechanically, as they are mana fixers that help cast your <> spells. Pain lands would also work, and the enemy ones are already in standard, but I think the filter lands are a good fit.

The relevant rule for commander mana production is:

If <> is another type of mana, but not another color of mana, it can be produced in any commander deck.

That actually makes a lot of sense and those are good points.

I see, I misunderstood your post. So are you suggesting that Devoid mana could be used to pay for the in Ghostfire? That sounds unlikely to me.

I have seen people confused about Ghostfire a few times, which is why I think that templating change was solely for clarity, similar to the recent change from "unblockable" to "can't be blocked".

"Has no color" and "colorless" are synonymous, just like "can't be blocked" and "unblockable" (and "can't be destroyed" and "indestructible" before the latter became a keyword). Presumably Wizards changed the wording of the reminder text because of stupid people thinking that Ghostfire was red and colorless.

If this is real, it does not have a basic land type, so no.

Lolno. They cease to exist as a SBA, as brianpk80 said. Anyway, Equipoise and Teferi's Realm are not a great answers to Mentor or Pyro, as they allow the player to get tokens by casting instants and still attack once with the tokens.

Well, no, conceding is not done "as an instant" and it has nothing to do with time walk being a sorcery. You can concede at ANY time and the game is over as soon as you say you are conceding.

Evolving Wilds let you fix your mana while making it more likely that you have 2 basics to play these untapped. That interaction is probably good enough to help support 3 color decks in standard.

You might also consider Scalding Salamander. It's one-sided, which also means it's good in multiples, but it's pretty bad against Mentor.

I can think of a 4/7 I'd rather reanimate against a board of monks/elementals. I don't see Deathfang finding a home here.

I was pointing out that you could get around uncounterable spells by continuing to go off in response, since Tasigur's ability and Ancestral are both instant speed. Since your Ancestral is stuck on the stack under the hypothetical nasty uncounterable spell, you would have to counter it to regrow it again and continue killing them. Of course, that is useless against split second spells, particularly Extirpate, so it's not really a good Plan A.

You don't need the mindbreak trap for that. You can just hardcast FOW your own ancestral in response to their spell and keep going off with it on the stack.

If Vial of Dragonfire is a zero mana autowin, you still wouldn't play 4x Weaponsmith? You absolutely would. That said, it does seem unlikely that Vial will be good enough to justify this card in anything but limited.

I don't think that card exists. But if it did and you played it, you would not be able to activate Humble Defector.

Dualcasting Tinker for Duplicant or Spine won't work - the copy will resolve before the original Tinker. Since that also means they see what you're getting before they search, Noetic Scales and Ensnaring Bridge won't be as effective, and Disk won't work if they have BSC as an option. You know, in case cleverly trumping Tinker was your new hilarious life's goal.

I guess you should run your own Tinker/BSC if you are running Dualcaster.

The cycle was complete in Urza's Saga - black's legendary land was Phyrexian Tower and red's was Shivan Gorge. Phyrexian Tower sees play in Commander and saw fringe play in multiple contructed formats. Shivan Gorge was just terrible. You are right that red remains the only color with no multi-mana land (excluding a few CIPT 5 color cycles). If it got one today, it would probably require discarding cards as a cost. Maybe something like , Discard a card: Add {R}.

Powerful ways to refill your hand or protect your permanents that work to an extent from the graveyard. The other Souls are broken, but these are pretty interesting.

Fatty that protects you and your other creatures from damage. Boring, but probably decent.

Yet another Clone with a nice upside. Better than Sakashima, if you're playing him.

The arbitrarily large non-evasive creature is probably not a huge deal, but the uncounterable battlefield tutor is the interesting part. Probably too broken, but could fit in for some people.

You stopped too soon - if you have a business spell followed by a land on top of your deck, Courser will let you draw the spell on your next draw step, while Seer will mill the spell and you will draw the land next turn.

It would certainly be fun to play this guy in a GushBond engine, but a 1GG spell that sometimes does nothing doesn't impress me too much.

Actually, no. Miracle is a triggered ability that allows you to cast the spell for its miracle cost. And triggers don't go on the stack until after a spell finishes resolving. So it looks more like:

1. Cast Reforge the Soul, you both discard cards
2. A few Waste Not triggers trigger depending on what your opponent discarded
3. You draw your first card, which is Reforge the Soul. The Miracle ability triggers
4. Your opponent draws 7 cards and you draw your remaining 6. Reforge leaves the stack.
5. You put the Miracle ability and a bunch of Waste Not triggers on the stack in whatever order you like. You choose to put the Miracle ability on top of the stack.
6. The Miracle ability resolves. Assuming the second Reforge is still in your hand, you pay the Miracle cost, and the second Reforge is put on the stack.
7. The second Reforge the Soul resolves, you each discard your hand, 7 more Waste Not triggers trigger (unless opponent plays instants)
8. You each draw 7 and the second Reforge leaves the stack
9. You stack the second batch of Waste Not triggers in any order you like, on top of the first batch.
10. The second batch of Waste Not resolve in the order you chose.
11. The first batch of Waste Not resolves in the order you chose at step 2.

If you're talking about the planeswalker Venser, remember that planeswalkers' abilities can only be activated when you could play a sorcery, so you can't respond to the Mulldrifter trigger with his ability.

Matis, Transmute Artifact was errata'd recently. The sacrifice is part of the effect now.

Now that the sacrifice for Transmute Artifact happens on resolution, does that mean it is impossible to sacrifice Su-Chi and use Su-Chi mana to pay for the cost of the artifact you search for?

If this were printed, nobody would ever play time vault combo. The previous sentence is false.

You can only spend your Type 4 mana to play one spell each turn, but you can spend your Type 4 mana on Skyshroud's second ability, allowing you to play any number of red/white/artifact spells for "free". Doubling Cube falls under the same rule, except that it only gives you infinite mana for one phase per round.

Mindbreak Trap is a cool counterspell, but it will very rarely be more than a Dissipate. Play it, but realize that exiling spells (rather than countering) and the alternate cost will rarely matter.

Electropotence already exists - it's called Pandemonium, and nobody plays it.

Kalitas is a good upgrade. We've been happy with Visara, and he's better.

Sorin Markov is not such a good planeswalker. His ultimate takes two turns of basically doing nothing to charge up, and it will almost never survive long enough to activate. His minus ability is hurt badly by being sorcery speed.

I don't see any of the cards spoiled so far as having a real impact on type 4.

I was thinking of Djinn of Wishes, so I thought you were trying to do something more complicated. Yeah, the (right) Djinn is good enough.

You'll have Orrery, since you're playing every spell. The Epics wil have to be your last spells, of course. You'll have a harder time playing some cards like Jabari's Influence, but you're playing Mindslaver and Hunted Dragon, so it's okay. You're also playing Festival, so you'll probably have to give your opponent multiple (slaved) turns.

I wonder if there is a sequence of play that involves playing (and resolving) every spell in Magic, without risking losing. You would have to handle things like (Nefarious) Lich and Forbidden Crypt, but Opalescence + Humble + Platinum Angel is useful... I don't know.

There's a much simpler way than that - Death Wish + Reiterate.

Welcome, to TMD, Quinn.
I'm in VikingMetal4L's group, and I really like the way he's arranged his stack. I was the lucky one who resolved Mind Spring. That game was sick.
Anyway, I agree with what he said.
