I feel like this will be too good in standard for the next 6 months. Get yourself God-Eternal Kefnet, Riverwise Augur and 8 lands in play, draw and cast a Karn's temporal sundering to bounce the Augur and you get infinite turns. That doesn't feel like too many hoops to jump through in standard.
I could definitely see this finding a place in pauper burn. A suspended Rift Bolt on turn one followed by this and Ghitu Lavarunner on turn two can easily put an opponent at twelve, and the traditional pauper burn deck seems better equipped in general to enable spectacle compared to modern and legacy, via cards like Thermo-Alchemist and Curse of the Pierced Heart.
I like this card in general, but the downside of being sorcery does mean that Curse of the Pierced Heart doesn't help make it any cheaper.
In a multiplayer game, if I play a Wellspring on opponent1's island, then play a Vedalken Plotter to trade control of that island with opponent2's forest, during my next turn wellspring will give me the island back, at the end of that turn will it go to opponent1 or opponent2?
Does anyone have plans on bringing this archetype back after DRS ban
I was thinking along a similar vein when I heard DRS was banned, though I was mostly wondering if the deck would want to try out stitcher's supplier as a substitute 1-drop to fill the yard and allow Gravecrawler recursion.
I've only really played the deck in like 3 tournaments so I don't have a lot of insight, but I'm interested in the way you are trying to shift the deck to more of a token sac deck rather than zombie recursion. I do wonder if Grave Pact is going to be too expensive with only 19 lands, while many decks that topped out at 3-drops had 20 lands and DRS ; I guess prioritizing lands on all your faithless lootings might be enough to make up for it.
I hope you will follow up on how it plays when you try it out, and you make me realize contamination will probably be a lot better now that people don't have DRS to make G/W for enchantment removal. I should probably pick some up.
I wonder why they chose to make a Gideon. Think Jace would be a better option if you wanted one of the Gatewatch plainswalkers. Not only is he the posterchild of Magic, but he also has a card that actually creates token copies of himself.
To use Grusilda's ability, the Masterful Ninja had to be in your graveyard, so it isn't in your hand. The cost to activate Masterful Ninja's hand/battlefield ability is to reveal it from your hand, which it I don't see a way you can do.
Let's say I have a cramped bunker and an amateur auteur on the battle field. If I sack the auteur to destroy the cramped bunker in response to the cramped bunker's trigger during my opponent's upkeep, do I destroy all of their permanents since they now can't touch one to cramped bunker?
Chupacabra is the name of the mythological creature. I don't think it requires goats to be on the plane.
I have to disagree with this, I count it as proof not only that Ixalanians have goats, but also that some of them speak Spanish (the people, not the goats).
many of the DFCs so far are of lands which originally didn't have a simple ability to unconditionally tap for one mana. So I'm thinking some of the likely cards could be:
I think the info for Rhona's Last Stand may be put in incorrectly as a common.
The first pool I generated had 2 of them, and they were sorted in the middle of the green commons and I had 8 rares. I every pool I've generated that has one is also sorted like that and has an extra rare.
+1 for a lotus petal is alright, but it doesn't really impact the board, and mana generating plus abilities have never been that relevant.
This is the first mana generating plus which can be used to cast counter spells on your opponents turn, which I imagine will make it a bit more relevant.
I think it is going to be pretty good, but only in a narrow type of deck.
They were known as Living Weapons - artifacts that came attached to a token, thus enabling them to attack.
I'm not really enthused about them, as Convoking in order to attack with a creature is...well, dumb. I realize they couldn't make it a stronger effect, but...
I would definitely say that Living Weapons aren't Vehicles, Vodalian War Machine is the true original vehicle. It actually functions similarly but was much more unplayable.
I feel that they absolutely dropped the ball with "Fabricate".
Would it have been so hard to have called the ability "Assemble" and have the creature type be "Contraption"?
It's the perfect ability for it, they don't even have to make any new riggers, just make the ability a thing.
I wish coastal discovery were an instant, maybe for UU2 and awaken for U6.
I would like there to be some instant awaken cards, but now I feel like wizards is going to limit it to sorcery only.

Tolarian Academy that taps for u
Serra's Sanctum that taps for w
Sorrow's Path but paying 2 life is a cost to activate the ability, not dealt to you if you tap it for mana.
Bazaar of Baghdad
Island of Wak-Wak
Arena probably tap for r
Oasis
The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
,or maybe we'll get really lucky, and they will bring back bands with other legends.
They really had to. If it just said each opponent attacking that player does the same, then each opponent would just untap your permanents again.
