Interestingly, if this does mean can only be cast with colorless mana, it's one of the mechanics from The Great Designer Search 2:

Heh good catch.

That was Jonathon Loucks who worked as a designer till 2014. Considering how far in advance sets are designed/planned I wouldn't be surprised if MaRo took the idea and re-purposed it; though Jonathon isn't actually on the list of designers for the set.

That doesn't work because Wastes (as spoiled/faked) don't have subtypes.

It would read:

Enchanted land loses all abilities. (Lands with no other abilities have [mc]T[/mc]: Add ♦ to your mana pool.)



Or possibly the land has to be basic with no types to get this ability? Obviously we don't know what the rules support for Wastes will be.

It would be more:

Enchanted land loses all abilities and types, and gains T: Add ♦ to your mana pool.


Rules support will probs be along the lines of:

♦ is a mana cost that can only be paid by ♦ mana. For example 2♦ would need to be paid for by 2 mana of any type and one ♦; not 3 of any type.

♦ is colourless; spells, effects and abilities that refer to a colour do not include ♦. This means spells and permanents that cost ♦ are also colourless, unless they have other mana costs printed (1♦U would be Blue despite having a cost of ♦).

Spells and effects that add colourless mana do not add ♦ unless specified. This means Sol Ring still taps for 2 not for ♦♦.

Based on what oracle says, looks like you are right. Thats nots just a basic land, it even had the island land type. You can use as many as you want in constructed, but for limited it looks like the rules do name the 5 specific cards.

He is right. The only lands that you are allowed to use that weren't part of your draft picks or sealed pool in Limited are named Forest, Plains, Island, Mountain, Swamp.

Well, a shitlord-filled semi-local store/minor online retailer Legitmtg.com, formerly known as The Lotus Guardian before they bought the brand from the previous owner, got burgled of all the cards in its display case a few days ago.


https://twitter.com/LegitMTG/status/666304369365749760

I wouldn't pity them much, they sell played (not lightly played) cards as near mint online, had been broken into previously and never got an alarm or camera system, and have a local reputation of sanctioning tournaments during the day in the middle of the week that somehow manage to get enough people to keep up their store status even though you can't fit 32 people in the store at once.

So their name is ironic?


I am slowly starting to like the less-dickish Owen now. Any format that claims to be eternal but won't let me play dredge is stupid.

FYI, LegitMTG was started by Jon Medina, the guy who used to write finance articles for SCG, was the original big speculator that's responsible for the current wave of speculators, and started the first pack to power series of articles where he showed people how to make extremely dishonest and lopsided trades to screw over people who don't know better. Also he cheated on his wife and made a big show of it with a public apology to the Magic community.

That's funny you mention the cheating on the wife and extremely dishonest trades that cause I checked his twitter to see if he had anything to say on the break in and it's actually full of #Christianity, bible quotes and general pro-Christian stuff. Seems a bit of a turn around there aye.

Pro and semi-pro cheating/being poor sport stories are my favorite thing about this game.

It really is. Wizards tries hard to make every pro into some sort of hero; so when they come crashing down it's amazing to watch.

Like some a genuinely good guys like Paul, Reed and LSV. Some are in reform like Owen. And then you hear some who are nice are actually complete cunts.

It's like there was a time where Travis Woo was considered good AND not a total gently caress head. And it really wasn't that long ago; like maybe a few years?

Yup, ♦ is just the colorless mana symbol confirmed.

Not really sure how expensive Filterland Expeditions will be. They're pretty much limited to being one-ofs in a few decks.

I'm kinda annoyed that it's just the symbol for colourless mana. I liked there just being numbers for colourless. I guess who ever called the number in the circle becoming "any mana" is right.

I am still going to assume though that anything with a mana cost that specifically contains a ♦ symbol can only be paid with a ♦ and not coloured mana.

Well... duh? That's literally the entire point.

Also it makes perfect sense to make it a symbol and not a number. When you tap something that gives two of a colored mana, it's WW/UU/BB/RR/GG. Why wouldn't it also be the same for colorless?

Honestly no real reasons. I just like the numbers.



I wonder if ♦ will become an evergreen stance and Wastes will be the fabled 6th baisc land or if it's only a gimick thing for BFZ block and only cards in said block will have the ♦ printed on them or have ♦ mana costed cards.

Actually no, it makes it 100% easier for newer players because no one is going to ask if the {3} in a mana cost means you need something that taps for {3} or three things that tap for {1} exactly.

Or if {3}R means 3 Red.


Although the question of space on cards then comes up.

The forbidden mechanic is already in Magic, too - it's just the Wish mechanic, and tournaments have been able to support it in constructed just fine. I can see not wanting to support it in limited, though.

I think they have already said at some point the Wish mechanic isn't coming back except in reprints because while it dose promote these crazy wishboards and fun; it's hard to play against/around and is generally confusing for people outside of a tournament.

Personally I quite like it in a limited format though. I wish MODO Cube supported it cause that would be fun. Though then you'd just get (more) broken poo poo; but it's cube so broken poo poo is half the fun.
