How would a Magic the Gathering format like this work out?
>All cards cost 1 mana and have a CMC of 1. The cost is based on any color of the card (So a blue red card costs your choice of either one blue or one red)
>All numbers on a card are replaced with 1 (so all creatures are 1/1s, lightning bolt does 1 damage, etc.)
>All cards with X are replaced with 1, (so a card with XR in the cost, costs 1R and the X effect can only be 1).
What are the best decks and interactions in this format?
helix pinnicle seems decent

How good would emrakul + friends be in this format? Would it be a combo to chain emrakul's into eachother?
>>50327550
That would be a very very irritating format, since you'd have to rely entirely on Spirit Guide effects to get rolling. Mulligan hell.

But everything would cost 1 mana, you wouldn't need that many lands. I would see it being a spell heavy format. Also spawnshire of ulamog would be instantly banned.

Lands are cards.
>>50327771
He probably meant all non-land cards.
>>50327869
That's not what he posted.
His ruleset makes lands cost 1 undefined mana.
>>50328132
No need to be so pedantic, its pretty obvious he didn't mean for lands to cost mana.
>>50327550
Eh. Derp/10.
Feels like this is all leading up to how this format is basically Yu-Gi-Oh, and why Yu-Gi-Oh is better.
>>50327550
One more thing to note
>lands are the only exception, and do not cost any mana, but any numbers in a lands text will still be changed to ones.
>>50327550
It'd be nothing but spirit-guides and Eldrazi and the first person to go and drop more than one eldrazi wins because Anihilator 1 on a 1 drop is OP.
Pic related would be the single best card.
Best deck would be some kind of U/W control shell. Shit like cyclonic Rift, extra turns cards, and then just white token generation. Ezpz.
>>50327550
Why not a format where you can only play spells with cmc 1?
>>50327550
That sounds stupid as fuck.

>In a format where everyone is 1cmc.

I'd imagine there would be a pretty big ban list in this format. This, emrakul, and any other effect that says "you get an extra turn," would probably have to be instantly banned.
>>50330672
Best deck would be taking turns with spawnshire of ulamog as a finisher.
Did some testing, extra turn effects need to be banned. Every game ends on turn 1 with them.
