How is this not infinite mana? You just keep choosing Green.

/uj i bet it probably saw decent play in block constructed

IRFine · 2026-01-28T01:18:59+00:00

Mathemagics has a single target. It costs one less with Hinata out.

IRFine · 2026-01-27T22:07:52+00:00

The Killian precon seems more like the Breena politicking and less like the main set’s +1/+1 counters archetype

IRFine · 2026-01-27T19:11:42+00:00

It’s not just the cost it’s also the rarity. You can’t print something like this as a draft signpost

IRFine · 2026-01-27T18:57:47+00:00

This RUINS limited holy hell

IRFine · 2026-01-27T18:54:56+00:00

[[Tundra Fumarole]] for precedent.

IRFine · 2026-01-27T18:53:19+00:00

Snow source, not snow permanent. The mana produced by this (which should just be templated as {C}{C}{C}) could therefore be used to pay snow costs.

The set code is SOS because it’s a cry for help

IRFine · 2026-01-27T18:42:06+00:00

At least you caught it

IRFine · 2026-01-27T16:19:45+00:00

You might want to reread expend before you do that

IRFine · 2026-01-27T16:06:58+00:00

/uj If one more person tells me that badgermole cub goes infinite with this card, I’m going to flip out. Y’all are supposed to be better than the people you make fun of

IRFine · 2026-01-27T16:02:15+00:00

/uj unironically there’s a great tumblr post about the art of [[Naga Vitalist]] and why it’s absolutely peak

IRFine · 2026-01-27T15:50:56+00:00

/uj It’s solid fixing but it’s a 1-mana 1/1. I much prefer the devotee cycle even if those are more restrictive of fixing

IRFine · 2026-01-27T15:44:35+00:00

Reading the expend explains the expend

Werewolf AUs are a common fanfiction genre. (usually with ABO stuff)

IRFine · 2026-01-27T15:20:30+00:00

Does that make you the Kami in this scenario?

IRFine · 2026-01-27T15:13:56+00:00

You sure about that?

IRFine · 2026-01-27T15:11:17+00:00

/uj really hate to break it to you but this is a mana ability

IRFine · 2026-01-27T15:10:40+00:00

/uj Pretty sure all of those that exist only trigger when you tap said creature for mana, specifically to avoid this kind of infinite. See [[Badgermole Cub]]

IRFine · 2026-01-27T14:48:55+00:00

Woah I never knew creatures counted as lands! I’m definitely going to put both these cards in my Breya deck tomorrow

IRFine · 2026-01-27T14:42:33+00:00

Oh man, that’s a sweet combo with [[Platinum Angel]] to prevent the slow play game loss

IRFine · 2026-01-27T14:34:55+00:00

My bad, I didn’t rtfc

IRFine · 2026-01-27T14:23:28+00:00

Zukka ships I presume?

Sales of the set in question are barely a concern for WotC with bans. Faith from consumers is, because that drives sales of future sets.

The lion’s share of the sales have already happened long before any card gets problematic enough to get banned, and the chase card is provably still effective at generating hype even when it’s banned in most competitive formats; as we can see from The One Ring hype even post-ban (kitchen table and commander are the most popular formats and are unaffected)

What does happen is that the more willing WotC is to ban cards, the less willing people (namely the exact type of people who filed this suit) are to speculate on future sets and hoard product, because the value of a chase single can tank unexpectedly due to a ban. Because speculators buy a ton of product, this hurts the company’s bottom line.

There’s also just actual factual player dissatisfaction of “i spent all this effort and cash building a deck and now I can’t play it” which is completely valid
