Hmm, good question. Could happen when one's game is interrupted by (small) life?

Ah, the bane of these days. Durdling one turn means death.

Could be, but not necessarily. I said theoretically, it is likely not a great idea but it was an example to show that cards trump the rules.

Snow ritual B Instant Add BBB, treat this mana as though it comes from a snow permanent. (This is snow mana) Currently, snow mana is only if it comes from a permanent that has the snow supertype.

Rule 305.7 sets a land to a basic land, e.g., spreading seas In the spreading seas example the land will be just an island and van only tap for {u}. You can add a basic land type to a land and it will additionally gain the ability to tap for that mana, e.g., Xolatoyac, the Smiling Flood So...

6 colours is hard to support. There are less cards per colour(combination) and each card can be used in less possible decks. This is a solid reason people eschew a colour or have less guilds/colour combinations than wizards does. Energy requires a lot of cards, and more is better. This is...

No need to be afraid of defense. It requires a turn in which the opponent can counterplay. Gamekeeper Calibrated blast Timesifter Proteus staff and Gamekeeper are hampered by the randomness. That is also what makes for great tales.

defense of the heart Pattern of rebirt Proteus staff Defense was already mentioned, it is a great card.

Colored artifacts look weird in brothers war commander. Yours looks better but is the mana symbol enough? Maybe have half of the card white the other artifact? Or something else but make sure it is identifiable in one glance as both white and artifact. cursed mirror from the brothers war...

Remember, if you play the Kavu when no other creatures are present you will lose it. Flametongue was a beast in its time, but it had a drawback as well.

Did you think about how to avoid board stalls followed by: player plays a fight card, swings with everything, spend a combat trick, gets blown out by a fog, opponent attacks you fog and so on. Thing is, are players willing to attack at all since they know they will walk into a fog?

No, but I have with prevent 2 damage creatures. Or +1/1 givers. They are great, but mentally taxing for the opponent. They screw with combat math

Isn’t simpler to just do it the other way around, I.e, replace the diamonds with blue? Or as a house rule: replace blue mana symbols with generic mana?

True, my pick was about drafting. Choices in games are a different matter. However, look at the odds to get that hand. Furthermore, there is a high likelihood to draw a plains. I am talking about ex-ante. You are talking post.

I never said it is a downside. It makes the colours less important which could be good but also bad depending on your taste. So to conclude: duals and fetches are not necessary for two colour decks, but do help tremendously. Especially, or they become necessary when one wants to play 1CC or 2CC...

This is only if you desire that one should be able to cast 1WW and 2R on turn three to be reliable. If you do not have 1cc, we end up with 2WW and 2RR which leads to 10ish of each colour. This can easily be achieved by giving each player 3 or 4 wilds variants. Thing is, most likely you can get...

This is indeed true. Everything is contextual.

This is blatantly untrue. Unless your cube only has coloured mana cost (and the majority costs more than 1). https://www.channelfireball.com/article/How-Many-Sources-Do-You-Need-to-Consistently-Cast-Your-Spells-A-2022-Update/dc23a7d2-0a16-4c0b-ad36-586fcca03ad8/ Things like fetches (e.g...
