    Quote from Cyan »
    The people whom would be offended by serving with someone whom is gay need to stop being ignorant tools and realize that a person's sexual orientation has very little to do with their life in the military. I don't think that's a relevant issue anyway, half of military training is just teaching you what to think and when to think it, and not to question anything, ever.


    The military will have to get rid of one group or the other, and there are more homophobes than gay people in the military.

    Look closer. The tainted lands all produced black or a specific other colour if you controlled a swamp. This cycle produces one of two colours of mana if you have the allied basic land (For example, this one produces red mana or blue mana if you contol a swamp. Another one would produce white mana or red mana if you control a forest). They're similar to the tainted lands, but they are not the same and the mechanic could (gasp) be used again.


    Same idea, different permutations seeing print.

    @Einsteinmonkey: Thats what he said. Otherwise he would have said "The original dual lands have the basic land supertype". The plural indicates it pretty good Wink


    @Topic: Since I think that duals with subtypes wont come back ever, and Ravnica wont have painlands (the names are all dominarian, and additional painlands would sure hurt the extended and other bigger formats), I want to share a card idea with you guys that I have in my head for almost a year:

    [Name]
    Land
    T: Add 1 to your Mana pool.
    T: Add U to your Mana pool. Play this ability only if you control a swamp.
    T: Add R to your Mana pool. Play this ability only if you control a swamp.

    I think a cycle like this would be pretty neat if Ravnica realy is about allie color strategies.


    You just described the tainted lands from Torment. Try again.

    You guys are going down the wrong path. It's not going to be legendary. Tilt your head to the side, and hit the ear that's higher to knock all you know about Kamigawa out.

    I think that if they are going to make another set of Block Duals, necrogenesis is the closest to what they might be.


    Not going to happen. It goes against the rules. A land must have the Supertype "Basic" to have basic land types.


    And just where in the rules did you find this? Head over to Gatherer and look up any of the dual lands.

    I don't see a supertype there; do you?

    Yeah, anyone could have come up with all this on their own and claimed its from a 'source'. Sounds pretty fishy. Odd timing, like Xen noted.


    Yeah. Then he doesn't give us any reason to suspect the source is anyone other than his ass.

    I call fake.

    Given the pairs bit we know form the older thread in the main board, I'd guess at

    (LandName)
    Land-Island Swamp
    When you play this card, if you don't control a $UB_GuildName creature, sacrifice it.


    Closer to this.

    (name)
    Land (Legendary?)
    When you play (name), if you don't control a (whatever), sacrifice (name).
    T: Add (mana) or (mana) to your mana pool.

    No basic land types... these things would still be broken if the Onslaught fetches can get them in Extended.

    Weren't the enemy painlands in third set? They must be fake too.

    I'm leaning towards fake, but more because of this
    http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=7920
    than anything else. The speculation thread points to this exact conclusion.

    So either we stumbled uponsomething in speculation and someone decided to spill the beans or someone was a little inspired by what they saw there and decided to try out a couple of cards.

    -K-Dogg


    They were in the third set because enemy color cooperation was the third set's theme.

    Dude, this is speculation. Only under extreme circumstance would a speculation thread be closed because the idea is 'stupid'. And why do you think you're all high and mighty all of a sudden? You're demanding that the mods lock almost every single thread that's fishy to you. Take a chill pill--if the mods think it should be closed, they'll close it. They don't need one of us demanding a closing for every thread you don't like/ aren't being constructive towards at all.

    Anyway.....the reason why we've seen such variations of dual lands such as painlands and the CHK depletion lands is because the original dual lands were too powerful. If they weren't, then they'd be reprinted more often. I would hope to see enemy fetches in RAV.


    They're not just fishy to me... they're fishy to any reasonable person.

    I called for the lock on this one because it's Not Going To Happen™. Dual lands won't be taken off the reserve list.

    As I said the other day about the Guild Mechanic, I say about this. Funny that this suddenly pops up after the dual land question in Forcythe's article today.

    Jesus christ do fakers even try anymore? What's next, a fake card for Saviors that has the old card face and art by Douglas Schuler?


    LOL... they're trying. Did you even SEE the Fork thread? If they hadn't made a stupid mistake, they would've even fooled me.

    Why the hell does this thread even exist?

    Duals aren't coming back. Functional reprints of duals aren't going to happen. Crono's guild mechanic duals suck.

    There will be some kind of mana fixers... but they won't take the form of a land with two basic subtypes. That's just way too damn good.

    Mods: Lock?

    Quote from Whatah »
    That would be neat of saviors was the "river boa" set, the R sorcery that desroys lands that cound as 2 basic land types would be HUGE in type 1 / legacy, the new deuls themselves would be amazing. Much like the Hound vs. Savannah Lions there isn't much trouble running 2 legendary deuls in a multi colored deck. (plus the templeate for the lands will probobly look real nice) What is the deal with the 5 color land? is it pay a mana to get a mana of any color? a city of brass like effect? please try to felay any specific information you can come up with, and try to verify your information privately with someone we trust to help convince us.


    The template for them would be exactly the same as every other two-colored land that's seen print. Why would it be any different? OH WAIT, IT'S A BIG STEAMING PILE OF BULL****!

  • posted a message on [FAKE] Legendary Dual Lands + Borderline Aggression!
    I call bull**** on this. Legendary dual lands just won't happen. Legendary may have been enough of a drawback for a land that's strictly better than the appropriate basic, but duals? Sorry, no.

    Multicolored mana sources almost always appear in the large set of the block because they're needed for Block Constructed immediately. The only time a multicolored land has appeared in the last set was Nantuko Monastery in the green/white themed Judgment. There's no thematic reason to hold them back... and there are already those horrid slow duals in Champions. It's just not gonna happen.

    Quote from Bounce »
    How many lands are there with more than one land type?

    (Edit):Well, of course these would be if they were real...


    10 dual lands
    3 Urza's lands

    and no more.

    MODS: Lockdown?

    Well, eerrr... You're right, too.

    Then, lets forget the white Chill for now and hope R&D comes with a decent blue hoser for red. Douse anyone?

    Or print a nice counter in the line of hydroblast:

    Soratami Fire Extinguisher blue mana
    Instant
    Counter target instant or sorcery spell if it is red.
    Draw a card.

    Let's hose red! Rofl


    BEB and Suffocate.

    Chill's too good for the current environment... a 3-cost Chill would be about right, though.

    Karma costs 4... if black doesn't have you on the ropes by the time it hits play, then black deserves to lose.
