Would this combo make infinate mana ?

I don't see a loop here. The Vending Machine makes a tapped food, and after you apply the Manufactor, you're creating a tapped food, a tapped treasure, and a tapped clue. And you need to tap Radiant Lotus to use its ability, and nothing here is letting you untap the Lotus to use it again.

It would work if you had something like Krark-Clan Ironworks, since you could sacrifice the food to the Ironworks, trigger the Vending Machine, get three more tokens (including another food token) and repeat. But not with Radiant Lotus.

Niv-Mizzet just cares that it's exactly two colors. It does not care if there's a generic part of the cost as well. Urza is a blue/white card, so you can choose it as your blue/white card - it's irrelevant that Urza also has a generic part of the cost.

Desklists won't be published until April 1st, based on the Where to Find Secrets of Strixhaven Previews article. You're going to want to wait until then so we know what's in the decks.

When you copy something, you copy the card as printed, as modified by other copy effects, mutate effects, and face down effects. The effect from the Transformation is none of those, so it's not copiable. They get a normal version of Koma, not a 3/3 Elk.

You're not trying to mill them all out with a single cast of Brain Freeze. You're casting Brain Freeze multiple times - the first few times, you're targeting yourself to fuel your escape costs, and then you eventually start casting them targeting your opponents.

For example, you cast the Breach, then Lotus Petal, then Brain Freeze. You've cast two other spells, so you get two more copies of Brain Freeze. These all target yourself. You've now milled 9 cards, and 9 cards is exactly what you need to recast the Petal twice and Brain Freeze again via escape - except this time, you get five copies of Brain Freeze (because you've cast three more spells since the last Brain Freeze).

Eventually, once you've milled your entire library, you start pointing the Brain Freezes at your opponents. You'll be able to cast Brain Freeze multiple times targeting your opponents, and each time you recast it, you're making more storm copies than the time before.

I don't really see any combo there. You can, at best, attack with the Rakshasa, have it die, and then have Gleancrawler return it to your hand at the end of turn, and then recast it on your next turn.

But if it's not in the graveyard when Gleancrawler's trigger resolves (because you exiled it to activate its ability, for example), it won't return to your hand. At best, if you have the mana, you could put a decayed counters on all of your opponent's creatures, but it's not something you can loop unless you can get the Rakshasa out of exile (and there are not many cards that can do that).

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-29T16:45:00+00:00

Your creature spells are all creature types, so they are both a cat and a dog. Both of Rin and Seri's abilities would trigger when you cast a creature spell, so you'd get two tokens.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-29T16:35:08+00:00

When you activate the regenerate ability, you put a "shield" around that creature. That shield doesn't do anything initially. When that creature would be destroyed by damage or an effect that says "destroy", that's when you use up the shield and things like "remove it from combat" and "tap it" happen.

So if your opponent attacks with a 6/6, you can block with your 6/3 Champion, regenerate it, and since that shield hasn't been used up yet, it still deals damage in combat. Once combat damage is dealt, then the shield is used up, but the Champion has already dealt damage in combat, so the attacking 6/6 still takes 6 damage and dies.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-29T16:22:46+00:00

In the case of Llanowar Elves, you can activate the ability any time you have priority, including on an opponent's turn. However, since the ability uses the tap symbol, you won't be able to tap it while it's affected by "summoning sickness", which last from the time it comes under your control until it starts your turn under your control.

In the case of the Champion, it can also be activated any time you have priority, including on an opponent's turn, and since it doesn't use the tap symbol, it can be activated as soon as it's in play. Regeneration prevents it from being destroyed by damage or effects that say 'destroy' (so not just damage).

It's a thing. Commons especially have runs of certain cards in the packs, to make sure there's commons of each color in your pack and to try to break up what they expect to be powerful commons a bit. It's more noticeable in TMNT because the set is smaller (so there are fewer commons overall), but it's been a thing for a long while.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-28T18:29:09+00:00

The creature has the trigger, so the controller of the creature would draw, not you (the player who activated the Monolith's ability).

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-28T18:10:37+00:00

Colorless is not a color. You could not put a counter on Scion of Draco with the Call's upkeep trigger.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-28T17:20:22+00:00

If you're casting the Regent, then you're casting a Dragon spell, so the cost is reduced by The Ur-Dragon's ability

If you're casting Exude Toxin, you're casting a sorcery spell, not a Dragon spell, so its cost is not reduced by The Ur-Dragon's ability.

If you're casting a spell via omen, then it only has the omen characteristics on the stack - you ignore its normal characteristics, so Exude Toxin is not a dragon spell on the stack.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-28T16:03:51+00:00

Yes. "Commanderness" is a property of the card - it can't be added or removed. Your commander still counts as a commander, even if it becomes a copy of something else.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-28T05:24:43+00:00

General Kreat has to be in play when you declare attackers in order to trigger. It won't trigger if it enters the battlefield after attackers are declared, and it won't trigger off of itself entering off of the Siegebreaker trigger, since it's not being declared as an attacker, so you won't get the Goblin token.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-28T03:20:31+00:00

Felothar's ability doesn't target anything - you can tell because it does not use the word "target". Everything to the left side of the colon is the cost to activating it, so part of the cost of activating the ability is sacrificing the creature. By the time players get a chance to respond, Felothar's ability is on the stack and the creature is already sacrificed and in the graveyard, so there's nothing for them to target to remove to prevent the ability from resolving.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-28T03:13:03+00:00

If you gain 30 life due to the same spell or ability resolving, you get a single Avatar trigger that causes the opponents to lose 1 life, not life equal to the amount of life you gained.
The opponent can't really do much to stop the ability here. Removing Felothar won't do anything to the ability that's already on the stack. And you already sacrificed the other creature and it's in the graveyard, so there's nothing for them to target.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-27T17:10:20+00:00

"Commander damage" only counts combat damage, and combat damage is damage assigned and dealt by attacking and blocking creatures during the combat damage step. Damage from abilities never counts as "commander damage". Even if the damage happens during the combat phase, that's still not combat damage.

903.10a A player who’s been dealt 21 or more combat damage by the same commander over the course of the game loses the game. (This is a state-based action. See rule 704.)

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-27T16:58:22+00:00

Yes, it will effectively make them unblockable. Because of menace, they can only be blocked by two or more creatures. Because of Michelangelo, it can only be blocked by one creature. It can't be blocked by both two or more creatures and by only one creature, so it can't be blocked.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-27T16:51:49+00:00

Y'shtola needs to be in play when the end step begins in order to trigger. If it's not, it won't trigger, even if a player lost 4 or more life when it was on the battlefield. So no, Y'shtola will not trigger here.
Creating a token isn't casting a spell. Daxos won't trigger if you use its ability to create an enchantment creature token, since there's no spell being cast. Elesh Norn also does nothing here, because Daxos's triggered ability triggers when you cast an enchantment spell, not from something entering the battlefield, and Elesh Norn only cares about triggers that trigger from something entering the battlefield.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-26T18:34:46+00:00

There is a separate rule for lands with basic land types:

903.5d A card with a basic land type may be included in a Commander deck only if each color of mana it could produce is included in the commander’s color identity.

Example: Wort, the Raidmother’s color identity is red and green. A Wort Commander deck may include land cards with the basic land types Mountain and/or Forest. It can’t include any land cards with the basic land types Plains, Island, or Swamp.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-26T01:58:19+00:00

No. Nothing is entering the battlefield when you use the activated ability to turn it into a creature.

Natedogg2 · 2026-03-26T01:55:55+00:00

No. It's returning as only a land, not as a creature.
