FUCKING YES on those goddamn lands.

Blooming Marsh is gonna see a fucking ton of play.

 

[A Serious Man]

That Blooming Marsh art looks fantastic.

 

[Hero]

About damn time for the enemy fast lands!

 

["God's Beard!"]

Most importantly, all 5 have flavor text this time.

If an artifact or creature entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.

Prime Speaker Zeganna just got even sillier. Clearly this means Baleful Strix is confirmed.

AWW YEAH BABY

 

[blindrocket]

YESSSS, Modern is about to have a big shakedown in mana bases.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

I would have killed for these back when Modern Storm was good.

Double Ulamog/Emrakul triggers in standard? Gross.

Edit: Wait does it work with them? I hope not.

 

[Yeef]

Double Ulamog/Emrakul triggers in standard? Gross.

Those are cast triggers, not ETB triggers.

Double Reflector Mage is more gross.

 

[charlequin]

Double Ulamog/Emrakul triggers in standard?

Nope.

EDIT: Here's everything that this would affect in the existing four standard sets.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

that card seems mirrodin level bonkers.

That artifact looks at entering the battlefield only, not cast triggers.

For those new to land cycles

 

[Ozigizo]

Please have instant speed burn.

Pleeease give us instant speed burn.

For the love of the burn players in all of us, please, Wizards.

For those new to land cycles

Looking at that chart, I really thought there were more dual cycles we were waiting on them to finish. With the fast duals done here it's really just the tangolands (which no one gives a shit about) and the SOI reveal lands (which people give even less of a shit about.) I guess now we should turn to bugging them for setting-neutral painlands and the Horizon Canopy cycle.

I give a shit about the Tangolands! (Mainly just because they're solid cube cards).

The SOI lands are pretty awful though.

[EDIT] I've also always wanted to see the Nimbus Maze cycle completed, even though they're usually worse than the checklands.

Showlands are the worst

People give a shit about cinder glade. It's possible others from the cycle could see play in decks running tons of basics eventually.

 

[Crocodile]

A) So this is the "PAX Invents the Card panel" going on right now?

B) I'm glad the enemy fast lands have more plane-agnostic names (and I'm also glad they now exist <3)

 

[Infinite Stars]

Tango Lands could have been great(and would have stopped 4 color degeneracy in Standard) if they're ETBt clause was "Unless you control 2 or fewer Land types". Making a cycle that's fetchable but actively discourages 3+ color decks would be an interesting cycle(In standard at least, it would probably need refinement for modern.)

HandLands suck because they're the only cycle in recent years(Besides Fast Lands, but those are so good on the first few turns) that both get worse as the game goes on and require another card to function. Even the Buddies/Tangos, which required other cards, at least got better as the game went on.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Nope.

EDIT: Here's everything that this would affect in the existing four standard sets.

Goblin Dark-Dwellers or Wasteland Strangler are really interesting with that thing. Or the new infest demon.

 

[Angry Grimace]

As a general principle, I tend to think Shocklands are the strongest duals you will actually get in Standard. I miss them a lot.

Not positive if it's viable in standard but it seems gross with reflector mage, goblin dark dwellers, and ishkanah...

Gives drowner of hope an infinite token combo with Displacer too.

 

[Ashodin]

awww yiss

motha

fuckin

enemy fastlands

gimme 4x inspiring vantage

 

[kirblar]

It's not an accident that the decks in current standard are mostly enemy color.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Speaking of Modern, think I'm gonna take this to an online tournament tomorrow morning. My first real update to the decklist in like a year:

Assuming I wake up in time, that is. I always miss these Sunday weeklies on Cockatrice.

 

[charlequin]

Okay, let me rephrase: would anyone be a) actively excited to see that these were the dual lands for the upcoming standard season or b) be begging for them to exist so they could be run in Modern?

 

[duxstar]

What is the point of this improv show , and how does it relate to magic in any way ?

[DashReindeer]

Oh man. Been waiting for this for soooooo long. Guess I will finally commit to modern Abzan instead of Jund.

You forget that EDH is a thing. I could for sure use more enemy colored fetchable dual lands.

EDIT: yipes, two posts in a row. Manabases just get me worked up I guess.

No, I just play EDH decks with shitty manabases. XD

I thought the whole point of playing the GBx decks was that it's a comparatively low investment to swap between them depending on whether you think Lightning Bolt is more important than Lingering Souls.

My solution was to play Kozilek.

More like Bolt/Terminate vs Path/Souls + every great sideboard hate card in Modern.

Any matches worth watching from worlds?

There was LSV in Modern being knocked down to 1 life while his opponent was at 20, and then winning.

By the way, Gonti says you can spend mana as though it were mana of any type, which means you can spend it as colorless mana. (Or snow mana)

Play Thought-Knot with it out and then flicker it with Displacer on their draw step.

 

[DashReindeer]

Fair enough. My playgroup is just filled with jerks who combo off too fast. Can't afford the tempo loss if I want to stop them.

 

[bigkrev]

Happy for Enemy Fastlands- I think the Painlands are 10% too powerful in a format where colorless mana matters, and I always enjoy non-damage drawbacks on dual lands designed for aggressive decks.

Die Young has done more to sell me on Energy as a mechanic than all the rares and mythics with the ability have so far.

 

[Ozigizo]

That's why I run Force of Will in anything that has blue.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Given that it's a common, I can't imagine it'll get much crazier than this. It already seems good for Limited. Whatever's being covered up is probably either giving energy, an energy kicker effect (like "You may pay E. If you do, that creature gets +5/+5 instead"), or a doozy of flavor text.

At sorcery speed, I'm betting it's a "must be blocked" effect.

I bet there's a 4th mechanic but it's evergreen.

Tango lands help Valakut in modern. If we get a boros/izzet colored tango land, there would be more valakut builds. Otherwise no.

This is literally most modern matches, if you don't like it then don't watch/play modern tbh.

Did you respond to the wrong person? I wasnt talking about how entertaining modern is...

Last round. Company vs mono U prism.

Ban Abrupt Decay.

Well someone got shot at outside my window so I'm definitely awake in time for the cockatrice tournament.
