It's perfectly possible they decided the Barry's Land issue (increasing Domain count) was less mechanically and functionally interesting than making Colorless mana itself matter plus giving EDH colorless decks a basic.

this has no type, there are still only 5 types. the thing on the type line is the type not the name

black potus
Jul 13, 2006
it means they just need to put a rule in that a basic land w/o a basic land subtype taps for 1 or w/e instead of a color of mana

MCMAGIC:

i think painful truths is not good in legacy and am willing to do a bet wherein if by some agreed upon metric it proves to be a real card within 6 months (# of top 8 appearances, but i can't look up an event schedule atm) i will do one of these:

1) post with proper caps and punctuation in the magic thread forever
2) play a major legacy event (SCG open/GP at least) with painful truths (and what the heck narset) in my maindeck and post a trip report on these forums
3) a humorous forums punishment of the threads choosing

if you agree to this bet post and dear thread please provide us with stakes

MCMAGIC: are you comfortable calling FIVE (5) top 8 decks featuring Painful Truths in the next THREE (3) months, by March 8th, 2016 Anno Domini in ONE HUNDRED PLUS (this gimmick is hard, 100+) person events success in legacy for the purposes of our bet?

It's the only red sweeper available that's not converge. Why would it be win more? Pyroclasm is a good card that is used all over. Printing a new one for 3 seems pretty relevant in standard. It's dumb that it's mythic, but it could do some work. Radiant flames isn't anywhere near as good.

i'm guessing he means sphinx in legacy being anything besides trash, and if not i mean that

e: ah ok well as i say i mean that

also it's very funny to me that this difficult to deal with sphinx up and dies when kozilek returns

black potus
Jul 13, 2006
my favorite part of this brand new sixth color is how it has been produced by cards -- by lands even! -- since literally the first set in magic. a ton of foresight there by Richard Channing Garfield, PhD

truly he is one of the great minds of our time

black potus
Jul 13, 2006
literally all thats new is colorless cost which has been possible forever just never used. "you must spend at least two colorless mana to pay Kozilek's mana cost" or something. plenty of mana restrictions.
