REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Edit: I mean, like, it's like, whatever, man.

 

[Suicufnoc]

Tatyova is ok. Obviously this is much better. Might try it, not sure

 

[Suicufnoc]

Black one too pushed? I've never played with decayed zombies...

@Suicufnoc

It’s noncreature.
Not non-creature.

See examples

 

[anotak]

ChrisTaylor's card:

My spin on it:

 

[StrionicAdventurer]

Every so often one of you sickos designs a card I want so badly for my cube that I utter an audible groan. My coworkers must think I'm browsing some really questionable material in here.

 

[Velrun]

You are!!

 

[Suicufnoc]

Really good tutor, pretty bad land? I want another Stoneforge effect, just a Steelshaper's Gift that hits aura's too might do it though. Axgard Armory is way too slow.

 

[Velrun]

It’s creative and cool although there is no connection between the two abilities. Which means it must be a cycle of lands that all exert and had a channel ability?

Another route you could take is to simply let it be a tapped Guildgate with a channel ability. Channel cost needs to be updated according to the power level you want.

 

[Suicufnoc]

Yeah, I tried and failed to come up with a mana ability that made sense flavor-wise. A cycle would make sense, maybe I'll play with that

 

[Velrun]

I think it’s interesting and kind of a new design space although limited. You’ll have to treat the lands as though they are micro spells because no one wants to play them as lands unless they have no other land in hand. And even then they’re maybe not even worth it.

You could also let the front be an instant/sorcery and the back be these exert lands. In this way the spells can be countered by stuff like Counterspell. Something they are immune to now.

Could either enter tapped like the MH3 hybrid lands or could exert while also having a "T: Add C." option.

I've never played with these myself.

Definitely the weaker the land half is, the stronger the spell half has to be. If I was going to do it as a MDFC, it would just be a tapped guildgate on the backside, same as all of Wizard's MDF dual lands. Then the tutor would likely be a 1 mana sorcery. (Though likely at least 2 mana if wizards printed it.)

 

[ravnic]

Note that tutoring for an aura would be a color pie break. So you couldn't use hybrid for activation in case you care.

 

[Suicufnoc]

Lol, how about make it a W/R split card on the front and a guildgate on the back:

Find Equip//Find Aura
Instant - W
Search for aura.
Instant - R
Search for equipment.

Backside:
Enters tapped.
T: Add W or Red.

Super modal...

OR
Instant - 1W
Search for enchantment.
Instant - 1R
Search for artifact.

Wonder if there's a clean way to word a kicker or similar to make that an optional upgrade.

[Velrun]

Incredibly powerful but it might suit your cube’s power level.

 

[Suicufnoc]

I mean, I run Demonic Tutor, for what that's worth. Not sure I should be, but I do. Of course this one costs less mana

 

[Velrun]

But these could also be lands, right?
