MTG Salvation

So apparently the newly spoiled enemy colored lands are called Crowdlands? That's fine, I never liked Battlelands anyway, easy to confuse with the land cycle from Battle for Zendikar. Are those called Tangolands anyway?

Still skeptical on the fetchlands though.

Although I'm happy to see the enemy battlelands here, I'm very scared that this inclusion of this particular land cycle means that there will NOT be any fetchlands in this set.

Another surprising and awesome reprint. On a feelbad scale I literally just bought two copies of this card yesterday for $26.

It seems weird that everybody seems to hate these, yet everybody uses them in their decks???

They're only used in decks in Standard because there's not much else available.

I also believe that come Zendikar Rising, we won't see legal fetches reprinted, but we will either see reprints of the Battlelands (or tangolands, whatever people call them), or perhaps the enemy cycle of those lands, which would be weird due to the enemy cycle scry lands here in M21.

Aetherflux Reservoir with two Noxious Revival with Song of Creation out, in Modern.

Yeah, my bother ordered this for me, I told him to check his spam folder but it gets autodeleted every two weeks. Sucks I can't get what was paid for.

Several cards with Riot, or even Rhythm of the Wild as a pseudo enabler, help creature come in bigger to turn this on. Yes it is a terrible topdeck onto am empty board after a sweeper, but thems the breaks.

Unexciting but expected.

So I got Kaleidoscope Killers Secret Lair for Christmas, and was fortunate enough to have the Teferi stained-glass PW in mine. However, where are the MTGO and Arena redemption codes? Mine didn't have them.

So if I'm reading this correctly, the ONLY cards that will ever appear in foil in the "non-convention" Mystery Boosters are a selection of 121 cards? In other words, most likely the most expensive thing your can pull in these packs is a non-foil Mana Crypt?

I ask because it's been my dream to add a foil Mana Crypt to my cube, but not if I have to pay out the ass for it.

My buddy came up with a good question that I'm not sure I know the answer to.

Much like how back in the day when you announced that you were casting Thoughtcast with a few artifacts on the battlefield, one of them being a Chromatic Sphere, you reduce the costs appropriately to find out how much you pay to put the spell on the stack, then when you go to pay those costs, you could crack the Star to produce the blue mana you needed to help cast the Thoughtcast.

I'm not sure the same way applies here, but if my buddy has a food artifact and a Gilded Goose on the battlefield and he wants to cast Whir of Invention, can he tap the food to have improvise help pay for part of the cost of Whir of Invention and still be able to sacrifice the food to Gilded Goose to also help pay for the Whir's cost? I'm thinking yes, but I want to make sure before I tell him he can or can't.

I'm guessing a judge of Level 2 or higher might need to answer this with certainty.

The extended art cards are cards that are comparable to the UMA boxtopper cards in style, while the borderless planeswalker cards are akin to the planeswalkers we saw in the mythic editions of GRN, RNA, and WAR. They are similar, but different, but both are reused styles from prior sets and promotions.

How do you guys keep track of your cubes, as far as when you make changes, what you take out, what you put in, etc? I use cubetutor.com, but it seems down at the moment. Did anything happen to it?

Even if you play this Turn 4, follow it up with another 4 drop that same turn, and then the following turn play another land and up to 2 five drops for free, you can't play more than 2 spells per turn, whether you pay with mana or not.
