Potatoes, turnips, and other root vegetables. Dwarven farmers tend to the crop at night and harvest it by pulling it down gopher-style. Hence why dwarves are pests of root vegetables.

Those only exist around the surface. Dwarves deep in the mountains would have to get potato shipments from a far above, and may as well trade with humans for food at that point. Unless they have a system of farming root vegetables near the surface and shipping them to the cities below. That works if there's a peasant class. But it makes the city dwarves' food supply quite vulnerable.Sporegorger_Dragon wrote: ↑1 year agoPotatoes, turnips, and other root vegetables.

Running D&D games has taught me that it's difficult to make underground ecosystems and cities logically sound. I've used various contrivances to force the logic, and the easy answer is "they gots magic, yo". Still, it's a major question to put to the whole concept of underground cities.

Dwarven settlements living near the surface are their equivalent of rural areas. Dwarves deep in the mountain would be like our big cities, dependent on food shipments from farmland.

That's a pretty cool interceptor. Like, single-target lures are nice, and this takes a reach blocker out of the equation for fliers to dive overhead. Nice one.Sporegorger_Dragon wrote: ↑1 year agoDwarven Lumberjack
Creature - Dwarf Warrior (U)
Haste
When Dwarven Lumberjack enters the battlefield, it deals 1 damage to target creature without flying. That creature loses reach until end of turn, and blocks Dwarven Lumberjack this turn if able.
3/2
"Why do dwarves carry axes?"
"Elves live in trees."
IIW: Runeclaw Bear for blue
Arena's spellbooks are among my least favourite mechanics but I think this is at least the second time you've made me go "actually that's pretty great". Given the random chance goes as high as Akroma's Memorial, I'd want to see this cost a little more or the power level be brought into a closer band, so this isn't win-or-lose-on-resolution levels of swinginess.Megiddo wrote: ↑1 year agoStrange Mood
Sorcery {R}
The next time a nontoken artifact would enter the battlefield under your control this turn, instead exile that artifact. When you do, draft a card from Strange Mood's spellbook and put that card onto the battlefield.

2/1
IIW: The summer 2025 Zendikar set is WEEEIIIRD.
The mines are following similar lines to Vivid Creek et al, except the depletion relates to getting colored mana at all! This could be interesting in a set with spells costing , like a Depleted Golem .
There's a significant consideration that these are lands you can keep activating the abilities of, but that's probably fine — your trade-off is that these are colorless utility lands after one or two such activations.
Greedy Overseer and Deepmountain Jeweler are nice too. I like Jeweler's effect in particular.
I'm not sold on the mechanical process of Mine—that's a lot of narrow restrictions that would seem to make it difficult to accomplish—nor am I sure its specific behaviour corresponds well to its flavor. But a dwarf king who gains me life and mills cards, or gives me back some cards, is overall just fine.Juancu wrote: ↑1 year agoBlor, Gully Dwarf King
Legendary Creature - Dwarf Peasant (R)
When Blor enters the battlefield, choose one:
- You gain 3 life and mill up to three cards.
- Mine a card from your graveyard. (To mine a card, exile three cards from your graveyard. If one shares its mana value, another its color identity, the third a card type, and none its name, put the mined card in your hand.)

I appreciate that the first ability doesn't give you all the fuel for the second; you still need a second ability. Red-black would like all these effects, and the demon is nice.
Little bit concerned this might warp Standard around whether you can beat a 10/6 turn 5 flier though. I might add an additional cost of "sacrifice a creature" to that firebreathing ability to tamp things down just a tiny bit, plus it'd be flavorful.
That's some nice flavorful removal, yeah. I might cost it more colored pips (like 2WW).
I think I see the second ability being used more than the first, but for that seems fair. I'd put a cost of red mana somewhere in here though.Mergatroid_Jones wrote: ↑1 year agoDwarven Oven

You know, this might actually work at that cost as a one-off, and I like you can elk the cervumancer itself if you just want to drop a 3/3 into an empty board.
This also made me realise we could have a Banisher Priest-style variant of this with a rider of "until (name) leaves the battlefield."

I get the idea that this thing takes itself out, but I do wonder if "other" on both abilities would be good. It's already a 4 mana typhoid rats, I think letting it survive the massacre is fine.

Since both of these cards are the same thing I've harped on already, I'll just judge them together: I like the idea of a scarecrow society, that sounds freaky. It's a dark mirror of our own, fed by straw and a penchant for bird murder, apparently.spacemonaut wrote: ↑1 year agoField Sower

this card suggests that the token exists in multiple colors. commence argument about whether this token can be created by nonred cards. i'm sure this has been litigated before. maybe i'll revisit this.

Good tribal. My only notes are I think we could afford to make these 1/1 Caribous. Also that I think it'd be a slam dunk for flavor if you could fit giving the Caribou flying in here but that's a separate design and this one is also fine.
