When they didn't finish the tango land cycle, I think I almost cried. I had five slots all ready and everything. Oh well. My first instinct would be to take out the tangos and put all 10 painlands in, which I might very well do as part of my colorless plan. This would leave me with 10/10/10/5/5...

I'm actually genuinely interested as to what you mean? The cycles are all horizontally complete at least halfway. Are you talking about the differences between the Allied/Enemy cycles? I'm aware of that being.... funny. I'm really really sad they didn't print the enemy BFZ lands... :(. Like I...

If it's not the focus of most designers (me included, for 100% sure), then the opportunity cost of a few different lands that let you try out cool stuff is super duper low, as is trying out ~a handful of cool cards. Let me also point out that experimental themes is by nature how you "solidly...

also, a sibling card of both of these: evacuation

That's exactly my point(s). How often evidently didn't matter, for one, because it's a 3-0 deck, and yes, it's only 2 cards out of 40. Now we are talking one card out of 40, at a higher mana cost (gives you more time to go other cool things, see grillo's note). If these 3-0 lists are anything to...

As a follow up to show that I can consistently make this point: the Naya Bellower list just below the above one has 11 green sources that can be used to cast strangleroot geist on T2, but the math says I need 14! I'm just not sure how much that particular block of math directly applies to what...

let me make one key fix: -And did you factor in the chance you actually need to be casting your one 3<> creature (even though all the eldrazi we are talking about using have normal colored costs) on turn 4? How often will you have drawn that in your first 4 turns? He doesn't touch on that at...

Also, for some more ideas: Tendo Ice Bridge Mirrodin's core grand coliseum

Lets look at the fact (that seems to me is being ignored somewhat), that a lot of these eldrazi have <> only in ability costs, and are decent on their own. Want to splash for that Worldbreaker ability? -Edge of autumn -2 painlands (grillo's avg from before above) -Kessig wolf run, tec edge -1...

I also mentioned in the [ogw] thread that you could errata some fetch land set (I mentioned the mirage set), to be "get A, B, or <>"

A great way to think about it Eric! How many random <> utility lands would you be willing to run in your <Name a deck> anyway? That's how many colorless sources your deck can support right off the bat. Now adding fixing lands that can provide <>, and maybe a waste to fetch up with a wayfarer's...

Painlands in particular I feel are a perfectly fine include in a mana-base, regardless of colorless matters. Opinions on that obviously vary. Basically, there are ways to optimize your mana-base a little more so that colorless matters could happen relatively seamlessly. I've never been a super...

I'm already making this switch. I want my games to go a little bit faster, and this should help skew decks a little this way. Two birds with one stone for me!

Soooo... UG flash anyone? :p Dimensional Infiltrator 1{U} Devoid (This card has no color.) Flash, flying 1◊: Exile the top card of target opponent's library. If it's a land card, you may return Dimensional Infiltrator to its owner's hand. 2/1

Valid point Jason, but I was only thinking about cube, not limited. I get why they did it this way though. I think "a little better than Mind Stone after >X turns" isn't necessarily a bad thing. I suppose it could be some sort of mind stone analogy, too: Seer's Pendant {2} {T}: Add <> to your...

Is it just me, or would this have been perfect at one less mana wherever there's a cost? Like: Seer's Pendant {2} {T}: Add <> to your mana pool. {1}, {T}: Scry 1.

As if anyone needed more incentive koth of the hammer

And 4/3 flying conclaves. How about naya with 4/3 double striking spires? This card is awesome :)

I run Primetime and Inferno Titan right now. The cycle is definitely something to watch out for. Also, take a read through http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/jitte-and-assorted-grbs-p1p1-etc.383/ and I think you'll find a good set of cards we generally find as unfun/too much.
