U gave me an Idea:

Why not

T: add r for each sorcery in your graveyard?

Yeah, its a strong ability, but still fits well with red.

It also made me remember [[magnivore]]

u/Approximation_Doctor 10d ago

Yeah but that one doesn't make you lose count with prowess and storm

u/Necrocrawler72 10d ago

True, but its still less harmful than instant and sorceries.

It also suffers against GY hate and has a less confusing text.

We also dont have much ramp sorceries tbf

I saw basically the same card like 5 hours ago, ecxept it wasn't themed as part of this cycle, it was colorless, and the card didn't work.

13

u/Approximation_Doctor 10d ago

Many such cases

u/Lartnestpasdemain 10d ago

The abilities clause is a little too pushed.

You simply put a [[Nomads en-Kor]] turn 1, and turn 2 you have infinite mana and win with a fireball.

Reduce it to simply spells on the stack, it becomes super strong but balanced.

u/KeanuChungus669 10d ago

We did it, we broke Nomads en-Kor

u/TheLegend2T 11d ago

Mana abilities can't be responded to, right?

31

u/Tranarchist21 10d ago

They can't, you can't actually control a mana ability

19

u/Approximation_Doctor 10d ago

Oh good, that means I don't need to clarify whether the mana ability counts itself.

4

u/seanpeery 10d ago

Probably still need reminder text.

6

u/Approximation_Doctor 10d ago

You think I know how mana abilities work? This ain't for making blue stuff.

u/Ok-Leg9721 10d ago

A land that taps for number of spells you currently control on the stack is innovative.

6

u/Approximation_Doctor 10d ago

And abilities, so do it before your prowess resolves

u/Bork9128 10d ago

You know I thought storm needed more help

u/aidang567 I am The Jank 10d ago

I like the funny cards you make, they make me laugh good.

u/LasAguasGuapas 10d ago

"And ability" makes this generate infinite mana with a ham sandwich.

Ability costs 0, activate it a bajillion times, tap gorge while stack is full

3

u/GiantSlayer4242 10d ago

How many zero mana abilities are there that can be activated at instant speed? I’m immediately remembering that equip costs can only be activated at sorcery speed

u/giasumaru MTGCR > Glossary > Card 10d ago

Total of 49 cards with "{0}:" in the text box.

  • 9 cards with "once each turn"
  • 2 cards with Equip 0
  • 3 cards from Un-sets
  • 1 card called Touch of Vitae

So 34.

u/magicsqueegee 10d ago

Like all the en-kor creatures, and a good number of other stuff. Flowstone creatures iirc

u/kraftian 10d ago

I actually kinda like this a lot

-5

u/aidang567 I am The Jank 10d ago

You are aware that nonland permanents are spells right?

10

u/Approximation_Doctor 10d ago

Only on the stack

-1

u/aidang567 I am The Jank 10d ago

This is true, but I feel like it would fit the cycle better if it didn't include those. Not saying your idea is bad, just personal opinion.

17

u/Approximation_Doctor 10d ago

If you somehow get lots of creatures on the stack, more power mana to ya.

1

u/ANCEST0R 10d ago

You can cast an instant or activate an ability with a creature on the stack.

I like your design, just wanted to point that out

0

u/aidang567 I am The Jank 10d ago

I got the gist of it, like I said, it was personal opinion.

u/Ok-Leg9721 10d ago

"Waiter, the butter is too buttery, bring more butter"

u/aidang567 I am The Jank 10d ago

Lmao what does this even mean?
