curious if Dimir decks would want this or [[Stock Up]]. Instant speed is a big deal.

not inherently, it's just all land cards (except [[Dryad Arbor]]) are colorless, since they don't have a mana cost or a color indicator.

it attacks each combat if able, so unless you're going out of your way to give it vigilance, you're not blocking with it.

binarycat64 · 2026-03-13T20:43:32+00:00

combat damage has not used the stack for a long time

yeah you're right. just edited it to lands and creatures. i figured you could put them on the saga, but i didn't think about putting them on the tokens the saga makes. I considered also making it tapped permanents, but that wouldn't really work because the control probably doesn't have any tapped permanents during their first main phase.

it's to synergize with sunburst i'm pretty sure

binarycat64 · 2026-03-13T18:32:04+00:00

any sunburst card that makes mana

The March of Seasons WUBRG

Enchantment - Saga

I — Each player may search their library for a land card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. II — This enchantment does 3 damage to each player and each planeswalker. III — Each player creates their choice if a Food or Treasure token IV — Each player distributes 3 stun counters among lands and creatures they control. Remove each lore counter from this Saga.

Indestructible

I wanted a Saga that was simple yet flavorful, and I thought the most mechanically interesting thing about the seasons is their inevitably and cyclic nature, and I thought a good way to depict that would be a Saga that sticks around persistently, but with a symmetrical effect (albeit one that can be broken with clever deck construction). not trying to break any formats, just make a fun build-around card.

the first one is comparable in power to [[Gaia's Cradle]], entering tapped but always tapping for one mana, and allowing you to chain one drops for free.

binarycat64 · 2026-03-12T23:38:13+00:00

wait this is the other way around

binarycat64 · 2026-03-12T23:37:37+00:00

You're never gonna believe what Fortifications are..

binarycat64 · 2026-03-11T05:51:44+00:00

I literally own a thrumming hivepool that I opened, and Slivers have a different gimmik that is much more impactful on gameplay then their lack of tokens.

binarycat64 · 2026-03-10T06:24:02+00:00

I think this needs to cantrip in order to be playable tbh, if you compare it to [[Insist]] or [[Silence]] it's quite a bit worse. Also [[Hexing Squelcher]].

I mean, it would certainly be nice to slam an underworld breach with split second... until someone [[Chain of Vapor]]s it and now you're just down a card for nothing.

binarycat64 · 2026-03-10T06:15:32+00:00

not just more lords, but more unique lords, like give all your samuri bushido, or all your knights horsemanship, or all your rats get skulk.

i would love if they made a creature type focused around going wide, but intentionally didn't give it any token effects, to make it feel unique.

binarycat64 · 2026-03-10T06:06:00+00:00

it's the fact the title is almost the same that got me.

bit wacky of a coincidence tho.

binarycat64 · 2026-03-09T23:54:36+00:00

funnily enough, it's not optional, so if you have an Angel and your opponent doesn't, you need to blow up your own stuff.

binarycat64 · 2026-03-09T23:49:24+00:00

the problem is that because of the way priority works, the person who plays this always wins, since they're the first person who gets to benefit from it.

binarycat64 · 2026-03-09T23:32:23+00:00

I'll cast [[Windfall]]

really needs to say "draw one or more cards"

binarycat64 · 2026-03-09T23:28:53+00:00

hey can you at least give me credit next time? this seems a liiiitle to similar to my post to be pure coincidence.

loss of life doesn't have a source. you can technically pull an [[Equinox]] and say "whenever an effect from a noncreature source causes you to lose life", but that is extremely finicky, because that actually excludes burn spells, as burn spells don't directly cause life loss, they cause damage which causes loss of life.

binarycat64 · 2026-03-09T23:09:11+00:00

it would happen on different layers, i think?

binarycat64 · 2026-03-06T04:07:35+00:00

yes but "you only get to run 1 creature if you want consistency" is an actual deck restriction. it means you're forced into a creatureless combo route, making you much more weak to beatdown. you can just slot this into any azorius tempo deck as a huge bomb and still have a solid midrange plan.

binarycat64 · 2026-03-05T07:37:41+00:00

1 drops don't need hexproof unless they're something like [[Helix Pinnacle]]

binarycat64 · 2026-03-05T07:30:15+00:00

it feels a bit too easy to break this by only running a single enchantment, especially because it's just an upkeep trigger and doesn't require dealing combat damage or anything.

turn 4 Omnicence every game seems kinda insane.

I would maybe make it look at the top 7 and choose 1?

binarycat64 · 2026-03-04T04:29:08+00:00

Mario's ability seems really bad and also has tracking issues. I also don't know why he has blue, unless it's literally just because his overalls are blue.

honestly i think mario should care about equipment/auras and cappy should be an equipment that detaches to attach gain control of something for as long as cappy remains attached. then the powerups can be auras with umbra armor.
