Thank you for being supportive, and for being totalitarian dictators.
The first half of that sentence is sarcastic, by the way.
Now, don't get me wrong, normally when I feel unsatisfied or ostracized by a forum I just leave and don't look back; however in this case, I make one of my few rare exceptions to that clause.
In my VERY short time here I have witnessed an incredible degree of unsavory action undertaken by the moderators, and the administrative staff of this website in regards to their total, and unilateral application of highly totalitarian rules; and a "Wanting" to hand out warns and infractions at the slightest cause.
In the most likely case, I fully expect this post to be deleted and my account banned (which means I won't be able to complete the currently active trade I have going, which is fine by me. But I do not wish to participate on a forum that seems to be slowly turning into the Fourth Reich. A state of total dictatorship and censorship; with lack of regard to forgive common human fault and error.
Goodbye; have fun. Please change.
And don't bother to analyze my style of typing to find some sort of egotistical fault in my logic. I am well aware of my own faults; and this post is entirely dedicated to your [the staff's] ego.
And Pich, don't even bother to say anything. Your bias is well documented.
But should any normal members see this, I wish you all good luck and many happy games of magic.
Mox Lotus 0
Artifact
When you play Mox Lotus from your hand, you may exile any number of cards from your hand. For each card exiled this way, you may call a color and Mox Lotus may produce that color.
T: Add one mana that Mox Lotus may produce.
But severely restricted in use...
Mana acceleration has been a problem in the past because of non-creature spells.
I can't recall a single time in the history of the game where mana acceleration cards were banned because of how they were used to accelerate into creatures.
First of all, I repeat that this doesn't reduce coloreless mana costs, so the second copy of this is worth less than the first (it only reduces costs of creatures with 2 Gs on their mana cost) and the third copy is essentially useless.
But anyway, go nuts how?
The best you can get with this is: 2 of these, 2 lands, a mana elf and a Joraga Warcaller (which you can kick twice on t2) or another 5 mana green creature.
Not only it requires a full 7 of your starting hand, but even if you actually pull this off, you'll still die to a spot removal on your Joraga or 5 mana creature, because you're left with an essentially useless board and an empty hand.
But it is still a huge advantage.
If I had a card that said
Name - 0
Artifact/or creature
The first blue spell you play this turn costs U less (or even just 1).
it would be fair, no?
This is NOT fantastically broken because making the first creature spell you cast each turn cost less is functionally identical to adding to your mana pool that you can only use to pay for green mana costs of creatures (and only the first creature you cast at that).
This makes the ability worse than a Llanowar Elves ability, as you can use that mana for non-creature spells, and furthermore can pay colorless mana costs with it.
Granted that my creature doesn't have to tap to add mana, but since it has zero power, it won't normally attack anyway, and therefore if I costed it at it would be vastly inferior to a Llanowar Elves.
Costing it at may seem a bit aggressive, but since you can't take advantage of the ability on the first turn (since when you cast it, it is your first creature spell of the turn), the only thing you can do is drop this and a 1 drop, which doesn't seem all that scary to me, considering the ramp you get from this creature can only be used for green creature spells.
The only thing that can make this card a bit unbalanced is creatures with flash, but there are so few decent green creatures with flash that I didn't think of this as a problem.
That, and you don't need forests anymore...
But its on power level with a bad mox now.
Free mana, thats not a land, reusable.
Even if you don't have to tap it for mana, you've essentially created a conditional $300 card, that plays on the first turn. Meaning you can go:
But, this has the advantage over other elves...were its free, and not restricted.
T1: plop down any number of these and a random mana elf.
T2: go nuts. Its severely overpowered, if not broken.

THe hands, body, markings, head, arms, legs.... nothing match.
Please tell me where the two golems are the same.
These two peices are by the same artist, so they are going to feel similar. But use your eyes, look at the legs of platinum emperion then at the legs of the phyrexian golem. Then look at the arms, the body, the head.
The only similarity (besides the artist, is the stance. But stance isn't enough to say they are the same golem)
I'm seriously to lazy to start red-boxing and listing the similarities....maybe tomorrow.
They likely look similar because they are illustrated by the same artist. But look at them side by side and you'll see they aren't the same or even really similar.
Yes, I knew that, I meant I don't know what source mentions the leviathan 'walker being demonic. I've certainly never heard that anywhere else before now.

I also agree, since I imagine it goes something like this:
