General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

[Chris Taylor]

Do these not all just embarrass Mwonvuli Acid-Moss, though

I'm kinda okay with that. It costs a land drop (so it's not ramp, just value) and maybe it's just me, but acid moss isn't that insane

 

[Eric Chan]

Yeah, Acid-Moss doesn't set the bar very high. It's just that while it's a spell that ramps, this is a land that casts a spell, which I think is nearly an order of magnitude better because it doesn't cost you any slots in your deck. Have there been any precedents for this? Honest question, as I can't recall either way.

[Eric Chan]

Well, that sacrifices, so while you get your pinpoint land destruction, you're theoretically still at card parity.

These lands draw you a Pillage.

Maybe the closest comparison would be the Windbrisk Heights cycle, which also drew you a card. I suppose if something like Shelldock Isle can exist, these should be kosher.

 

[Jason Waddell]

Can somebody make Innistrad spell lands for the color pairs that have unplayable lands?

did you see my utility land cycle:

Spoiler

[Jason Waddell]

Yeah, but I specifically want non-tapped lands that don't fix.

Scrying Grove is pretty neat though. Sunken Catacombs is a little wild.

 

[anotak]

so you want a new grim backwoods & stensia bloodhall for sure. alchemist's refuge is probably too slow for your cube too

 

[Jason Waddell]

Yeah, these are the three I had in mind.

 

[anotak]

i cant decide if this needs to be br or bg but i'll think more about this when im more sober

land
T: Add 1 to your mana pool.
1BR, T: Exile target card from a graveyard. Each opponent loses 2 life. You gain 2 life.

 

[Jason Waddell]

Life gain is way more green than red.

 

[anotak]

here's a few options. im not really good with flavor so the names will be lacking

Deathrite Wastes
Land
: Add to your mana pool.
, : Exile target card from a graveyard. Each opponent loses 2 life. You gain 2 life.

Desolate Crackhouse

Rakdos Clocktower

Yawgmoth’s House
Land
: Add to your mana pool.
, : Target sorcery card in a graveyard gains flashback until end of turn. The flashback cost is equal to its mana cost.

 

[anotak]

another quick one i thought of
Tony Hawk's MTGO Wasteland
Land
: Add to your mana pool.
, , Sacrifice ~: Destroy target nonbasic land.

edit:
feel free to adjust mana cost on activations to taste if i'm off on something these were all just kind of brainstormed out

here's yet another one, kind of obvious idk why i didnt think of it before
Battlecry Swampmountain
Land
, : Attacking creatures you control get +1/+0 until end of turn.

 

[Jason Waddell]

I like the Scrollhouse. Yagmoth's House seems massively unplayable.

I wonder if Deathrite Wastes isn't massively OP.

 

[anotak]

i was scared w/ yawgmoth's house because actual card advantage needs restrictions on lands or else its broken

and yeah deathrite wastes might easily be. if i think of some more i guess i'll post them

 

[anotak]

the more i think about it, the more i realize it definitely is broken. probably make it only exile noncreatures or something to start w/ to give it less targets, and maybe throw another mana on

 

[Jason Waddell]

Well, I mean, consider how good of a finisher Creeping Tar Pit is, and it doesn't gain life and can be bolted. And needs to be activated on your turn.

 

[HannesVersmissen]

grim backwoods is the shit. just scrap the 2 out of 2BG and be done with it

 

[Jason Waddell]

grim backwoods is the shit

 

[Chris Taylor]

for the BG land, could we do a recurring nightmare variant, but at random?

like , sacrifice a creature: Return a random creature from your graveyard to the battlefield?

I figure the extra mana, the extra color, and the lack of control make up for nightmare being such a miserable card sometimes. Arguably, it being a land makes it more vulnerable, unlike nightmare which despite being printed as an enchantment, acts like a sorcery (since your opponent won't get priority in time)

 

[Chris Taylor]

Also, for a spells matter idea:

1U 2/1
Instants and sorceries you cast cost U less

super broke for constructed (goblin electromancer) but for cube?

 

[Jason Waddell]

Happy Backwoods might also be too strong, considering Loothouse is strong(ish), and that's just straight looting. Like the idea of more card draw in GB though.

 

[anotak]

Also, for a spells matter idea:

1U 2/1
Instants and sorceries you cast cost U less

super broke for constructed (goblin electromancer) but for cube?

my cube runs
Minotaur Electromancer
Creature - Minotaur Wizard
Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost less to cast.
3/2

so far i'm very satisfied, guy gets run in all sorts of decks

also recurring nightmare returns itself to hand at instant speed.
maybe put the thawing glaciers clause "Return Thawing Glaciers to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next cleanup step."

Well, I mean, consider how good of a finisher Creeping Tar Pit is, and it doesn't gain life and can be bolted. And needs to be activated on your turn.

yeah you're pretty much right. they won't always have cards in their graveyard though. (lol as if that stopped deathrite shaman from being insane). Probably make it a +1 -1 life swing too.

Happy Backwoods might also be too strong, considering Loothouse is strong(ish), and that's just straight looting. Like the idea of more card draw in GB though.

yeah, maybe needs to exile 2 cards and lose a life or something of that nature.

 

[Lucre]

Me and Eric talked about this yesterday:

Half-elf ______ (/) (/)
Creature - Human Elf Wizard
When Half-elf ______ enters the battlefield, destroy target artifact or enchantment.
2/2

I might be inclined to give it another ability or point of toughness though.

hybrid is totally one of my favourite magic things.
