I'm pretty sure that Wastes would need a subtype, so I'm going with "fake."

So the diamond is now colorless and the numbers in circles are "generic?"

Does that mean that any land that produces colorless would be errata'd to use this diamond?

I'm rereading Kozilek and I'm wondering if that first line of text actually works within the rules of the game. Shouldn't it be worded "draw until you have seven" or something?

Duskfiend posted:IIRC Oath of the Gatewatch prerelease is going to be Two-Headed Giant. My theory is that Diamond costs must be paid with waste mana from your Eldrazi buddy's mana pool. Your hypothesis is that they're printing an Eldrazi Mythic that will actually be literally unplayable in 99% of formats after the prerelease?

Zoness posted:Diamond mana is basically snow mana right? It's mana with a secondary attribute aside from color that depends on the source of said mana. Doubtful. Snow mana was specifically any mana (of any color) that was produced by a permanent with the supertype "snow." Mirrorpool has no properties other than "land" and Wastes has no properties other than "basic land," so there's nothing to grant the diamond any additional properties.

Irony Be My Shield posted:You still haven't explained what the reminder text should be. "Use ♦ to cast ♦" doesn't seem necessary at all. If there's a rules update to change 1 to ♦ they aren't just going to randomly add reminder text to everything. Uh, "spend only colorless mana on ♦" like Consume Spirit?

To be fair, before I actually learned the rules to Magic, I thought you needed literal mana. Like, a physical representation of what your lands added to your pool.

I quit Magic (again) about 18 months ago and while I'm clearly off the wagon, I'm at the point where I only acquire cards for my Peasant Cube, which are super super cheap. It feels pretty good.

Entropic posted:The only thing Ice Age actually did with Snow was cards that cared whether you controlled snow lands or how many of them you had. Snow mana wasn't a thing. Snow creatures weren't a thing. (lol that Goblin Snowman isn't a Snow Creature) "Snow" wasn't even a supertype originally. Hell, "Legend" wasn't even a supertype back then. I don't think there even were supertypes then. Right, snow mana wasn't a thing yet, but card keyed off of snow lands being slightly different from basics, which is what OFS was saying.

The common Werewolves from Innistrad had three lines of text for the transform ability and another line for the couple that had evergreen abilities. I'm willing to believe there were common Werewolves with seven lines of text, but I'm not seeing any.

ShadeofBlue posted:There's 20 expeditions in OTG, which is a strong indicator that there won't be any enemy colored Battle Lands, although there are a couple of 5 land cycles that potentially make sense to use as Expeditions (Scars lands and Future Sight lands). Future Sight lands make zero sense since then we'd have two versions of Graven Cairns. Lack of enemy colored battlelands makes the most sense, I guess.

Lieutenant Centaur posted:So, do Wastes only tap for DIAMOND mana? They doesn't tap for what we call "colorless" (2)BB right? For that you still need BB and 2 of any land except Wastes? No, the diamond means colorless. The (2) is generic which means "any type of mana." Edit: Wow, you guys are fast.

Lieutenant Centaur posted:No, I can't give you an example. Maybe I'm stupid and don't understand it like some others. Think about it this way. If you want to cast, say, Ob Nixilis, you need 3BB. That's two black and three of anything. New Kozilek is 8♦♦. That means you need two colorless mana (from Wastes or a painland or something) and 8 of anything. The point is taking colorless from a thing for artifacts and actually making it matter is a way that impacts the game as a whole.

(It won't be) They would not print a new basic land and errata a bunch of cards just for a few cards in a small set. If ♦ is legit, it's going to be a part of the game. Serious question: why do you think it's stupid?
