This group may be more your style.

That’s kind of funny because I am actually the founder of this exact group

 

[Velrun]

Thank you for the links @Humpty_Dumpty
I think the last group is the one I need to find serialized Thanks

 

[Humpty_Dumpty]

No problem. I just realised that I linked to Google main page rather than the search results, which may have come across as a bit patronising, so sorry about that.

I asked for help and you provided <3

 

[Velrun]

Is there someone who would find it interesting to take a look at my Atraxa, Grand Unifier Duel Commander list and give me feedback on a format they haven't had the experience to play?

 

[Velrun]

This probably has the interest of no one but I made a visual list of all the playable lands in the game in my opinion.

Playable Lands:

Overview:

I was tired of always looking through 75 % unplayable lands whenever I wanted to look for forgotten gems. What is playable and what isn't is totally dependent on the format so I wasn't very strict or harsh when evaluating. For instance there's both Terramorphic Expanse and Escape Tunnel because some formats might need both.

I have been updating it after each set since March of the Machine and have no plan on stopping.

I'm a little surprised that the depletion land aren't on there.

Check back tomorrow

I totally forgot those exist. They're so cool. How much land recursion do you need to make them good?

Not so much recursion. More mana boost strength (they enter tapped)…

I've only really played with them in Pauper... but they're really nice if you've got a bunch of proliferate floating around or are trying to ramp into something. One of my favorite openings is T1 depletion land → T2 Island, Everflowing Chalice, Experimental Augury → five mana on T3.

Maybe 6 if you have a third land drop to play on the third turn.

But you will also need to proliferate again soon or lose the land.

 

[LadyMapi]

True... but that's assuming that a grind-y deck wants the depletion lands. They're for decks that want to be here for a good time, not a long time.

 

[safra]

Literally none and they're still busted. I play them in Sharzad alongside city of traitors and ancient tomb.

Is cobra working for everyone? It seems to be lagging here, I used to have 71 cards per color and now suddenly I have 73 in white, 69 in blue and Seeker of the Way is listed as a hybrid.

 

[Chris Taylor]

I just patched, looks fine on my end?

 

[ravnic]

Wow, now I have 75 cards in white. Can you confirm this or is it just at my end that I see stuff weirdly wrong?

Can confirm, 75 white cards. Lots of breaking singleton in the 2 mv section.

 

[Brad]

That sucks. I had it double add a large import one time and I had to delete hundreds of cards.

 

[ravnic]

Wow, apparently Syndic of Tithes is a mv5 blue sorcery now.

 

[TrainmasterGT]

Wow, apparently Syndic of Tithes is a mv5 blue sorcery now.

As it should be? : P

We are 3,5 hours away from the next reveal stream that will cover the next 6 months of Magic.

xAC (?)
Modern Horizons III (Eldrazi cover art @Brad )
Outlaws of Thunder Junction

Not sure if it will be on Twitch like always. This commercial I saw on Magic’s Facebook says Twitter X and later YouTube.

Have fun

AC = Assassin’s Creed I finally found out

Finally I can unholy heat the pope (a pope?)

 

[Humpty_Dumpty]

I listen to too many Magic podcasts, but was struck by the similarities between a recent episode of Lucky Paper Radio about emergent cube design and the most recent Mark Rosewater episode about designing synergies into retail sets. Both adopted a branching approach, that would then seek to cross-link between nodes on that framework.

Time to redesign my cubes.
