I'd almost written off Zendikar Rising!
These two are powerhouses!
Artifacts doubling artifacts from the Lithoform Engine! Then our very own mana multiplier!
So excited to test these out!

Forsaken Monument only makes permanents tap for 1 extra mana, not double. So Sol Ring taps for 3 and Thran Dynamo would tap for 4. Still good, but slightly less impactful for things that tap for multiple mana already.Rasputin101 wrote: ↑3 years agoSol rings would tap for 4, thran dynamos for 6.... Its be ridiculous.
You got the Covids? Wishing you the best man!Rasputin101 wrote: ↑3 years agoI bet that was a fun game of waaaaaay too many counters.
I've not really been able to get very many games in with it.
Covid's got me down and away from anyone who plays!
Nah, not got it but it's putting a downer on my local games!Runnin wrote: ↑3 years agoYou got the Covids? Wishing you the best man!Rasputin101 wrote: ↑3 years agoI bet that was a fun game of waaaaaay too many counters.

Yeah, I feel like it can be such a backstabbing card. Then again we have to take what we can get. Otherwise check out this oneRasputin101 wrote: ↑3 years agoI know it's not in the vein of this deck and I'm highly unlikely to run it, but I've gotta show some love for Bladegriff Prototype.
Political masterpiece and a relatively decent piece of removal if it lasts a rotation
Yeah, I'm thinking in the same vein. However, LED is far better in my build with The Distortion. For me, the reaction to the card is more that it just seems absurd. The ceiling can be superhigh but its quite narrow. I have the same experiences when it comes to workshop. Sometimes its that last mana that you lack, and you even have a WORKSHOP in play. You should be set.Rasputin101 wrote: ↑3 years agoSince they spoiled Jeweled Lotus I've been testing how it runs early mid and late game and its kind of a weird one to call because it can only be used to cast Kozi.
We rely so hard on chasing the rocks together to keep up the tempo but this, like Lion's Eye Diamond doesn't allow us to progress with dumping rocks onto the field. It's gonna take some more testing before I know exactly if I'm going to run it but face value it obviously looks really strong but I can't find any way to abuse it other than using it alongside Clock of Omens and Inspiring Statuary, then it can be used for more than the one shot its designed for. Other than that I can't see any way to make it do more than It does at face value.
Just thinking it terms of Mishra's Workshop and that it can't tap to cast kozi. Although it helps ramp up I've been left at nine mana numerous times and haven't quite been able to get him cast that turn.
War Room is the draw land I've been waiting for. They've been on the line before at something like 4 or 5 plus a tap but at its bang on the money!
I agree with you on all points. Especially 4 cmc planeswalker commanders will be a force if they get them going early.Rasputin101 wrote: ↑3 years agoLED has an infinite combo with it so it's strictly better, plus it's good for mana of any kind so when you're top decking with mystic forge it's great.
I think the new lotus is better for 4cmc commanders coz they can be dropped three turns early whereas ours maybe pushes it to a turn earlier than usual.
When it's good it's amazing, when it's not it's a waste.
I'm still on the fence about it but it is a game changer for the decks that can T1 their commander with it!
I'm right there with you on war room though. Great card!
Glad thought vessel's seeing a reprint plus a foilyboi version!
Nows a good time to be getting into playing colourless with all these colourless staples being reprinted.
