This thing is going to be busted as fuck in EDH. Probably Bant for color identity given the other legends in the set. I NEED IT.

>Thread Question:

Gaea's Cradle, the thing is ludicrously overpriced and insanely powerful. It should be banned or reprinted. It's the only legal card in it's tier.

Easily The Abyss, it would have been so sweet to have in the Breya precon, even if it would have been impossible to get the precon with people scalping it for copies.
>>54132410
It's my opinion that if Cradle is legal, Academy should be as well, or vice versa and ban both.
>>54132418
This was a point of confusion, kinda odd wording.
>>
>>54132410
>Probably Bant for color identity
Can't be. You can clearly see it's got the UG color gradient.

>>54132418
Reserve List so that it may be reprinted. Sorry for confusion.

>>54132429
>It's my opinion that if Cradle is legal, Academy should be as well, or vice versa and ban both.
Agreed 100%. It's really hard to build a deck with G in it and not use Cradle. But I do NOT want to shell out 160 cheeseburgers for a fucking land.

>>54132432
If that's true, it only makes it more playable and more busted.
>>
>>54132439
Ah. "Reserved list for EDH" just made it sound weird.

I feel like Chains of Mephistopheles being readily available could do interesting things to the format.

Honestly they should just reprint the entirety of Legends, so many sweet stax and prison cards to shove down the UGx players throats.

Most green ramp spells specify basic lands, but some look for forests or any lands
>>
>>54132731
Prismatic Omen will override Blood Moon since it's in addition to other types, and you'll be able to tap for any color. Chromatic Lantern will mean that even though they're Mountains they'll be able to tap for any color. Keep in mind that they're still non-basic, and Back to Basics will still lock them down.

MAVERICK 4 LYF FUK THA H8RS
>>
>>54132731
I believe they become basic mountains that can tap for any color in the instance of Chromatic Lantern. For Prismatic Omen, I think both effects are on the same layer so whichever came into play second would be the one that takes precedent but I'm not super confident about layer rulings.
>>
>>54132806
Ignore the second part. This anon
>>54132800 is right.

But I phrased it poorly. It's because Prismatic Omen hits all lands, including the non-basic Mountains.

Not quite. Both Prismatic Omen and Blood Moon's effect are applied in layer 4-- type-changing effects. Because neither Prismatic Omen nor Blood Moon's effects are dependent on another we can ignore dependency issues and apply the effects in time-stamp order.

If Blood Moon entered first, then Prismatic Omen, we would apply Blood Moon's effect first, making all non-basic lands mountains. Finally Prismatic Omen would make all lands every basic land type in addition to their other types, capable of tapping for any color of mana.

If Prismatic Omen entered first, with Blood Moon second, then we would apply Prismatic Omen's effect making all lands every basic land type, but non-basics will still remain non-basic. Then Blood Moon would make all non-basics just mountains.

>>54133047
I buy most of my duals on ebay. It's the cheapest place to buy them and as long as you have some known real cards from a set you can compare them and make sure you didn't buy a counterfeit.

Buying from a store is simpler but the premium is huge. Ebay is going to be at least 20% cheaper for most cards.
>>
>>54133071
Time Spiral is decent because it's a massive block and my favorite. Scion of the Ur Dragon is 5 color and the fixing is ok.

The next ones I'm brainstorming are O-Kagachi with only Kamigawa block cards or some Innistrad legend using only cards from both Innistrad blocks.
>>
>>54133094
It's not as bad as it may seem. It has a cohesive -1/-1 counter and discard theme so it avoids being strictly "goodstuff".

I wanted to explore this deckbuilding restriction because I've been getting tired of seeing the same staples over and over again. This limits most boardwipes and degenerate combos.

Ably be something that has some kind dof synergy if needed. To me it seems between WR Avacyn and Iroas. Avacyn can protect your combo and also maybe boardwipe, but she seems too expensive to actually hold mana up for her for protection. Iroas gives your guys evasion but you probably don't need it if you combo off.

I get your point but there's almost no reason to reprint shit like black lotus because they're used in one format. It's just buttmad 20 something year olds who missed out on them that want them reprinted so badly. Sometimes you gotta eat crow and spend a bit extra on your EDH deck my man.

Commander is an ultra casual format and there's almost no reason to run original dual lands except to show off because of all the great dual lands there are now. Also those products wouldn't stay on the shelves for two seconds and you know it. You'd be paying scalpers almost the exact same prices for the cards on ebay.
>>
>>54133514
>Also those products wouldn't stay on the shelves for two seconds and you know it.
print more then, not that hard. one would assume wotch makes a profit on commander (or any supplemental product) so if they are flying off the shelves just keep printing until they stop. you know, like how literally every single other business in the world since the beginning of time operates. they did it once with that one commander deck that had the legacy staple in it (cant remember the name) they can do it again with other cards if they wanted
>>
>>54133514
>Commander is an ultra casual format and there's almost no reason to run original dual lands except to show off because of all the great dual lands there are now.
I don't care about duals. I care about shit like Gaea's Cradle that has no business being legal and that expensive.
>Also those products wouldn't stay on the shelves for two seconds and you know it.
Not my problem, sounds like wotc would literally be printing money so they'd better make a lot of stock if they do it. Just flood the market and everyone wins.

>>54133512
They keep the list out of misplaced loyalty to old fans and the secondary market. This in turn just gives a giant middle finger to every new player, they are supporting this system by maintaining the list.

If they'd just ban it I would stop caring. It's the ONLY card in it's class. No other reserved list card or even regular card costs THIS much and is a staple that should be in 99.9% of decks that can use it. Prove me wrong.

This is possibly the biggest issue. It's preventing Legacy from actually growing and shutting new players out of the market. Which appeals to 40 something losers who've dedicated their lives to MTG.

Someone should compare reserve/ban lists to gate keeping and demonstrate they keep minorities from playing MTG. Getting Twitter and tumblr into enough of a frenzy and Daddy Hasbro will bring the hammer down on WotC fucking quick.

The problem with that is EDH is super casual, and most people playing MLD aren't competitive, they don't use them to win. They use them to slow the game down.

And given that casual EDH games of 5ish players can already take several hours, MLD can easily update that if someone doesn't have something to win the game with afterwards.

the reserve list is just a retarded idea to begin with and should be taken away

for every pissed off investor you would gain thousands of people buying new packs for the chance to get a gaias cradle or dual land. watc is being held hostage by an incredibly small group of people who dont even give them money, its utterly retarded
>>
>>54134262
It's important to remember that game store owners also make money on things on the Reserve List.
I agree with you, I think the Reserve List should be done away with, but it's more than just investors, it's also the people wizards sells directly to.

I argue the pissed of investors have nothing to be angry about if/when something gets reprinted, if they're primary argument regarding the value of a card is true: said card is rare, with a limited run.

This will stay true for the OG cards even if a card is reprinted. I mean, it's not like these cards are only valuable because they're powerful and limited in supply right? Right?

If it's a sanctioned tournament for points you cannot run proxies in the traditional sense. Only tournament legal proxies are ones that a judge okays on the spot for a card damaged during the tournament. Proxies as in stand-ins for not having a card are not allowed in any sanctioned tournament. Really they aren't supposed to be in any tournament with a payout but that's not enforceable short of reporting to WOTC.

Yeah, but people with casual decks can play properly and do smart moves, as competitive deck owners can do dumbshit moves and be still the cancerous chaos-person. I've seen a person with a deck worth more than half of my decks combined and the guy is still stuck on the autistic "shits and giggles"-mentality.
>>54134514
It means that you have artifact mana or mana dorks or maybe have lands in hand. It might be surprising, but at least I usually play my land of the turn after Armageddon. Besides, there's way more ways to recur lands, such as Sun Titan, which is on colour anyway, if you're playing Armageddon.

Got a question

Since Mycoloth's saprolings enter the battlefield in the upkeep, can they attack the same turn they enter?
>>
>>54134720
No, they don't have haste. If they entered the battlefield during an opponent's turn, then yes, they could attack.
>>
>>54134720
No
>>
>>54134720
As far as I'm aware, no. They still have summoning sickness.

Otherwise I've been playing my fungus deck wrong for almost a decade.
>>
>>54134720
No. You have to control the creature before you untap. Creature loses its summoning sickness only when you have controlled it continuously from the beginning of your turn. If an outside source gives them haste, then they can attack.

Sure, that doesn't change the fact that most Vintage tournaments in the US allow 10-15 proxies. Wotc got involved a year or two ago and made sure they were designated as "playtest" cards but this is how Vintage players play.

>>
>>54135895
Yeah, because homo-men are usually appealing to girls
>>
>>54136022
I kind of want them to reverse it too so it will be much easier to pay anus mana early on.

Pretty much the exact thing they were trying to prevent though
>>
>>54136104
So would Kozilek be the anal commander? How good is new Kozilek, anyway?
>>
>>54136104
They could've just said that generated off-color mana doesn't count as <> mana, but instead is "generic mana" that can only be spent on numeric costs and never <> costs, or something.
>>
>>54135958
All three. I mean you would already include Wrexial in the 99, might as well have them all and pick one to be the face of the deck.
>>
>>54135557
This card is fucking incredible
>>
>>54136152
I like new Kozilek best of the colorless generals. Old Kozilek is more reliable and annihilator might be strong but it's not fun. New Kozilek has the potential to draw even more cards, rewards you for dumping your hand of fast mana, and has a fun ability that is very unique for colorless.

You build ezuri. You put in elves (ones that make mana are good) and cards that let you draw cards.

Isnt that exactly why the Mox Diamond cycle is banned even tho Sol Ring is on the same powerlevel if not better, because theyre like impossible to get a hand on?

Also do people really fill their ~entire~ EDH deck with 50$+ cards without being frowned upon by their playgroup as being a tryhard?

Outside of straight filtering, according to every card Wizards has made 2 colorless = 1 colored mana for costs.
The 1 mana investment means little when you can potentially use it to play more/higher cmc spells than the moxen allow.

No.
Perma-exile like Fiend Hunter only works when the two parts are two separate lines of text.
When they are the same ability, like on Banisher Priest, they don't work like that.
They specifically made them into one ability like on Banisher Priest to fix and remove that exploit, and all cards since with that kind of ability are worded like the Priest instead to prevent abuse.

Has Sheldon ever said what the price limit for banning is? He banned power because of it's perceived barrier to entry, and that was a over a decade ago. Power was a lot cheaper then. At this rate duals and cradle will get close to those prices, and they are definitely must haves for people in those colors, so they fulfill the other requirements for "perceived barrier to entry" I think you could get an unlimited Mox Emerald for 500ish a decade ago, probably a bit less if you searched. Is that the limit, is it lower, or has Sheldon forgot?

>>54138349
The guy(s) that ban cards only ban whatever they personally don't like in their own playgroup and never think about the rest of the people everywhere else that like playing EDH.
There are reasons there's plenty of other problem cards like Paradox Engine that are allowed - someone in their playgroup plays it in a combo, and therefor they don't ban it because it would be against their personal interest to do so.
>>
>>54138349
i think you should try to see sheldon as the man he is, a random ass dude who plays EDH in a casual group and whose opinion really doesn't matter that much

the banlist is more of a guideline than anything else. you should be houseruling to keep things fun in your personal meta, and that includes banning stupid shit like mana crypt and sol ring.
>>
>>54137847
It's going to be pretty heavily black leaning. The other colors are mostly for support things like Impact Tremors, Bloodbond March, Edgewalker, and the like. Also some things that replace sacced non-token creatures with tokens like Sek'kuar, Deathkeeper.

My main concern is what happens when Sheldon realizes this shit about price. Maybe he bans cradle over it, but if he does, does he also ban underground sea? If underground sea gets banned what about the rest of the cycle? Is Badlands safe because it's only like 60$?

These two traits clash when it comes to certain early Magic cards, even if they would possibly be acceptable in their game play. It's not enough that the card is simply expensive.

>It's not enough that the card is simply expensive. It must also be something that would be near-universally played

Bazaar is only good in dredge, moat and tabernacle are also only good in select builds (namely ones that don't rely much on creatures, which isn't common when every deck gets a creature in their "opening hand")

I have never even seen a deck that really wants to run diamond valley, and I run sac oriented decks.

>he forgot about PW commanders
Laugh at this man.
>>
My favorite tribe is temur but the only commanders In these colors are animar and riku.

They both seem like fairly expensive decks and quite popular according to edhrec. Are they degenerate commanders? Is there anyway to build them budget and improve them over time?
>>
>>54139119
???
Animar is degenerate, Riku has a pretty steep buy in. You want Surrak Dragonclaw.
>>
>>54138983
> 10 Checking Taplands: about 30 bucks
> 10 Shocks: about 100 bucks (painful, but ultimatley not the devil)
> 2 of each basic: Priceless
> Reflecting Pool, Command Tower, tendo, aether hub, & City of Brass: Not really that bad
> Sol Ring, Fellwar Stone, Commander's Sphere, Darksteel Ingot, Prismatic Lens, and 10 signets

It's harsh, but if you give fetches, especially enemy fetches the finger you can do it.
>>
>>54139137
Sorry I mistyped I mean the only commanders I like in temur were those 2, surrak seems cool but just didn't speak to me as a card.

What makes animar degenerate, what cards make riku expensive?
>>
>>54139047
>being this retarded
Diamond Valley is the best sac land that exists and Moat and Tabernacle are extremely useful in each stax deck. Bazaar is good in each graveyard based strategy.
Still Cradle is only good in a green deck that runs creatures, it's not that different. I'd rather have a land that kills my opponent's creatures or taps his mana rather than have a G for every creature I control.
How about Mishra's Factory then?
How is price of a card relevant AT ALL when it comes to banning them? Most of the banlist isn't even expensive.
>>
>>54139224

Is diamond valley actually better than Phyrexian tower or high market?
>>
>>54139219
Riku is much better choice. Animar is degenerate because his broken ability combined with protection from the relevant removal colours. There would be literally nothing wrong with Animar if it weren't from the protections.
>>
>>54138983
The guildgates are not going to work well in 5-color unless you are a land deck focused on using them.

If you want to be budget then use most or all 10 triple colored tapped lands, some vivid lands, City of Brass, and Mana Confluence.

I think using the temples is too greedy in 5-color.
>>
>>54139224
High Market is better. Diamond Valley doesn't even make mana.

It's decent but it's like Maze of Ith so it has to be considered separately.
>>
>>54139119
>What is Intet?
>What is Surrak?
Also you can build both Animar and Riku as not cancerigenous decks.

>>54139281
Temples were a god send for 3c and I used some in Yidris without much hassle, maybe using only the ones that have the most important colors in the 5c deck?
>>
>>54139260
High Market I would say definitely, but maybe not Phyrexian Tower. I'm thinking of getting Miren, because I can't afford Diamond Valley. Diamond Valley is in my opinion the best sac land that exist, depending on the game plan of course. For stealing strategy City of Shadows would be probably the best, obviously.
>>
>>54139224
I recently picked up a cradle recently, and after playing with it a bit it really feels like a win-more card. Sure, you can do some crazy ramping with it, but it's useless after a wrath. It honestly doesn't seem ban worthy.
Mana Crypt on the other hand is cheaper and definitely deserves a ban.
>>
>>54139305
>b-b-but muh colourless mana!
That shit is good even though it doesn't produce mana. Or are you arguing that Tabernacle is bad as well because it doesn't produce mana?
>>
>>54139384
This.
I don't even understand why does everyone go apeshit over the land that usually does less in my meta than my Serra's Sanctum
>>
>>54139405
Tabernacle is playing on an entirely different level, though. Diamond valley is JUST a sac outlet, tabernacle is a punishing control piece that can paralyze decks. Landed early (when curve matters) it doesn't have to produce mana because if you're running tabernacle it sets you ahead on tempo by setting everyone else back.

Diamond valley doesn't do that. It never improves your tempo or hurts your opponent. It just trades a creature for some life once a turn -- more life than High Market, but 90% of decks that would use it don't CARE about the life, they care about death triggers and having a creature in the 'yard. At that point, why should I not prefer High Market, that doesn't FORCE me to stumble when I use my land drop on it?
>>
>>54139224
I'm assuming you mean Workshop rather than Factory. There are a fuckton of decks that would hate to play a Workshop.
>>
>>54139405
>That shit is good even though it doesn't produce mana.

Yeah, but it's not really "as good" as the one that does. I'm certain that if Diamond Valley were the same price as High Market, you'd still see people playing High Market more often.
>>
>>54139575
If you're saccing tokens or Reassembling Skeleton and friends then High Market is the better choice, but for something like Meren or Karador, High Market can actually gain enough life to make an impact. It honestly depends on the type of sac shenanigans you're doing.
>>
>>54139579
Well, artifacts is the most relevant permanent type in each format. Cradle doesn't hold a candle to that monster.
>>54139575
While I may have exaggerated the usefulness of Diamond Valley, I still feel like it's extremely useful sac outlet, since it's much harder to remove than any nonland, but I'd prefer it to High Market because it gives much better value in grindier decks in my opinion.
>>
>>54139702
>Well, artifacts is the most relevant permanent type in each format. Cradle doesn't hold a candle to that monster.

Yeah, but Workshop only shows up in decks that are all-in on Artifacts. It's not something that even someone using "a lot" of Artifacts will want, it only crops up once you pass the threshold of your deck being "mostly" Artifacts.
>>
>>54139702
>I still feel like it's extremely useful sac outlet
To this, I can agree.
>>
>>54139617
Again, I would rather be playing Miren, the Moaning Well rather than High Market, But I would still rather play Diamond Valley to Miren.

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ezuri-claw-of-budget-2/?cat=price&sort=

working on a budget deck to get into paper edh with. Ive tested this deck a few times on XMage and it has worked quite well, although it is a bit slow. i dont seem to really generate board presence until at least t5, which is unfortunate if i get hated away

What cards would you guy change? Blade of selves is definitely on the chopping block, it just hasnt done much in my playtesting,
>>
>>54139756
Yeah, but you also can say that Cradle only shows up only on decks that's all about creatures.

don't, there are better options for boros voltron
>>
>>54132536
I've shilled my Punisher Enchantress deck plenty here. The thing just throws out enchantments that either accelerate the game or punish others for playing the game. Basically, it's always dealing at least 5-6 damage to a player on their turns, plus some on my own. It frequently does so in small amounts at a time, so they don't even realize how much they're losing until I remind them they've lost 30+life from me alone. Then I chain a Last Laugh triggerfest and everyone dies.

I recently picked up foil versions of every single Eldrazi Titan and want to play them in the same deck, but Mono Brown seems like a terrible idea for that, considering how much good Eldrazi tribal shit there is these days.

Don't wanna go for the usual boring Karona Tribal. Any good suggestions that lend themselves nicely for playing them in the same deck?

>Problems with Cradle
I've had a Cradle since pulling it from a pack in Saga, and have never really found a deck that I like (so, not Ezuri Elfball) where it actually seems to work at a really high level. Threw it in Titania for flavor, and while I haven't regretted it, neither has it been really crushing.
>>
>>54141437
what. any land that can tap for 2+ mana with almost no drawback is instantly great.
>>
>>54140338
kalemne is shit though
>>
>>54141674
Oh, it's good, I'm not denying that, but it's hardly the bonkers instant-win some folks like to make it out to be. At least outside of a couple decks like Ezuri (which I've been on the receiving end of) or maybe animar or something, it's on a similar level to Scorched Ruins, Ancient Tomb, or Lotus Vale. Probably a little better than any of those, but in a similar tier.
