>>46156469
splashing a third colour to force a minor lifegain subtheme really isn't needed, and frankly those cards are a little slow when you can easily be attacking with a transformed heir of falkenrath and incorrigible youths on turn 3.
>>
>>46156305
Past rotation, available cycles will be:
>Enemy painlands from Origins
>Ally Battle lands from BfZ
>Enemy manlands from BfZ and OotGW
>Dual taplands, ally cycle in OotGW and enemy cycle in SoI.
>These reveal lands posted above.

Out of all of these, the only cycle that has a pairing of land types is the battle lands cycle. Otherwise, the others are just generic 'lands.' And seeing how these new lands don't contribute to battle lands entering the battlefield untapped, I'm not sure about that synergy.

So after rotation, be prepared for diversity of color to die the fuck down.
>>
>>46156515
You seriously contemplating competitive tactics for a meme deck?
>>
>>46156560
Exactly this. The mana fixing will be notably less consistent. 4 colour will be a thing from the past, and 3 colour will take some serious commitment. As standard (and really, all formats) should be.
>>
>>46156637
Also considering khans is gone, so the 3 color power cards no longer exist in standard. There's less reason to go 3 colors without them.
>>
>>46156560
The battle lands are going to go up thanks to these new lands. Two and three color decks will have consistent mana bases, but four color midrange was always going to die out.

Still, there's no incentive to run with more than ten to twelve basics in a three color deck, and that's pushing it since you only need two for your battle lands and one of the primary color for your new lands during any game.

I'm honestly starting to get sick of multicolour sets. They always seem to result in super pushed mythics, ludicrously expensive mana bases, and less individuality in decks. The better fixing basically makes them 'jam all the good cards in one deck' formats. Playing two colours is almost always wrong, because the only real cost to adding another colour is money.

>Moon-niichan, I cant help it, my waves are moving on their own!
>>
>>46156751
Do you mean sequencing in a game? Depends on your hand and how many colors you're running. Holding a battle land in your hand will guarantee your shadowlands coming in untapped, but if you can't find two basics, your battle lands come in tapped.

The thing about these lands is they require you holding up land in your hand, and sometimes you need to hit your curve.

There's going to be a lot of trial and error figuring out the best sequencing for these lands.

>>
Handlands sounds alright.
>>
>>46156848
Twelve basics, four battle lands and four show lands of appropriate colors for your deck should lead to an okay distribution. Battle lands can always be slapped down first turn if you don't have a first turn play.
>>
>>46156889
>inb4 Emrakul assimilates Marit Lage in a world-spanning tentacle fuckfest
>>
>>46156565
The B/R vampire deck looks pretty aggressive, and there are still more cards in the set to be revealed
>>
>>46156751
The only synergy is that you can reveal a battleland with a showland to make your first turn reliable.. After that, synergy falls off pretty quick. The only other helpful interaction I can see is that it encourages shard tri-color decks, since both duals are ally cycles.

They don't change much; battlelands were already hard to balance. I never ran more than a couple in any deck since they want as many basics as possible. Outside of standard, these won't make a splash anywhere. Maybe commander, but then what doesn't make a splash in commander?

Battle lands suck in opening hand.
New lands are rough when in topdeck mode.

Best sequencing I guess is Shadow's new land turn 1 w/ reveal, basic, basic, battleland.

Both want you to play more basics then anything,

I'm thinking shards, with a primary color in the middle that you use basics for, and then battlelands/ newlands for "splashes" into the two other shard colors, with maybe 1-2 enemy manlands.

Painlands are irrelevant to ally 2-color decks and Battle/Show are irrelevant to enemy 2-color decks.
Battlelands want as few non-basics as possible, so you're better off running 3-4 battles and nothing else but basics in 2-color. Fixing is not that hard in 2-color if you know how to mulligan.

In tricolor, I wouldn't even touch showlands. Maybe a 1 or 2-of.

I think for 2 color allied decks, either 4battle+4show will be the most common configuration unless you're running a very aggro deck.

Now for 2 color enemy decks, 4 painlands is a must but you probably have to adjust the amount of manlands. On 2nd thought i'd probably run 4 each too.

The card just means you start drawing every other card in your deck instead of every card, so if you were going to draw the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, ..., 10th cards from your deck normally you're now drawing the 2nd, 4th, 6th, ..., 20th cards instead. The cards you're now drawing are as equally likely to be "cool stuff" as the cards you're no longer drawing.

It's the same thing with mill.
>>
>>46157159
Bant Investigate, Grixis Madness, five color Delirium and ally tribal.

That's the general theme for the set.
>>
>>46157322

They are equally likely to discard your top-decked land allowing you to draw the bolt.
>>
>>46157395
Plus you can only prevent so much drawing without dying to the burn so eventually they will need to let you draw.

I thought only of using this as advantage in double color decks. In burn:
>all my things have higher CMC than possible damage dealt and I do not use XR spells
I still say it's cool. It's cool, alright? I like it, really. It's just not THAT good.

>>46157425
If you had three mana to cast this guy then you don't need any more lands

Getting a land off the top is a death sentence.

Here: >>46157395

Pay particularly close attention to the "please kill yourself" part. This card does not in any way change the distribution of your card draws. You are as equally likely to draw lands or bolts before or after playing the card.

>>46157437
>burn
of course you don't run it in a burn deck. I said aggressive. it draws you bodies, either literally or digging for more topdecks. if your opponent denies you your efficient two and three drops then he eats it in the face. if you're playing aggro and get to the point where you're top decking you probably just need enough reach to close out the game or you're losing anyway, so that's fine.

Can't say I understand why people are focusing on burn with this. It's much better in some kind of midrange strategy, with higher cmcs. Then the choice is either take 4 damage (and maybe help turn on delirium), or they draw an extra card each turn, all while getting beat down by a 3 power menace. Not bad for three mana.

I like these cards that cause investigations and their. It's nice to see how these people are actually investigating and finding the clues, when they actually use the clues to lead up to something, they get benefits. It's quite flavorful. Too bad Investigate will be dead in the next set.
>>
>>46157521

Why is this funny? They'll just let you draw it. It's not even a hard decision like other cards.
>>
>>46157523
Yea, I don't know why people keep arguing this card is good in burn (it's not)

This card is clearly designed for a midrange shell.

You know, if they have more cards that get advantages whenever you use clues, I could see it actually adding up to a lot of value, where each clue is pretty much a draw plus bonuses.

I don't think 5 colour is viable anymore. Without fetch lands or the wedge lands, we may be back to 3 colour at most.

What we need is clue sac outlets other than Tamiyo's journal and the default sac. You could go with Pia and Kiran but that's even more expensive than the default sac.

Emergency card draw is nice but what we really need is other methods of sacrificing clues cheaply.

I'm not saying it's going to be a deck archetype, I'm just saying delirium is present in all colors, just like Clues are in Bant and Madness is in Grixis.

The issue I find with this is that Blue gets Madness and Clues, while there's no synergy between red and green beyond werewolf tribal - which is dogshit.

It's a huge strech, but, maybe it's good to play with all the clue stuff.

>>46157796
I feel like Journal's a trap, to be honest. With how many clues you get, if you just keep drawing a shitload, you'll get your combo pieces that way, rather than waiting for 3 clues.

I could definitely be wrong, and I'd love to be, to be honest. I want GW Scooby Doo to be good fun.

I'll wait and see if we get any decent two-drops from clues. But let's see:
>Turn One: Play land, Thraben Inspector, generate a clue.
>Turn Two: Play land, ???
>Turn Three: Play land, Tireless Tracker.
>Turn Four: Play land, generate a clue, Briarbridge Patrol.
>Turn Five: Play land, generate a clue, Tamiyo's Journal. Opponent's turn, sac three clues to tutor, put three +1/+1 counters on Tireless Tracker and at the end of your turn, dump Ulamog or some shit on the field.

I'll admit right now that this is super fucking Christmas and ignores the fact that you're trying to stay alive again aggro or fighting against midrange or having spells countered by control but it's feasible. Besides, even if you can't acheive on turn five, cheating any creature in your library or in your hand on to the battlefield at end of turn seems pretty sweet.

It's a total of 8G to do that and it requires having three clues ready for saccing but it's still a fun little jank combo.

Show your work, that answer doesn't even make sense. 1% chance of what? That your next draw will become a land after playing this card? You'll draw an average of 1% more lands than you would otherwise? If I was playing a deck with only a handful or even no lands would there still be a 1% chance?

You can't claim retarded shit with no proof.

Question: If you had this card in the graveyard but never transformed it, and you cast Soulflayer, would it be possible to delve it away and get the keyword abilities?

Or does the back side not exist in the graveyard? I would imagine you can't reanimate this if you didn't flip it in the first place.
>>
>>46158186
Cards only have the properties of their front face in every zone except the battlefield

>>46158186

>>46158146

Any face down card in your deck is equally likely to be any card you haven't drawn yet. You could shuffle your deck 100 times and you would not change the distribution of your draws. You could take every other card in your deck and put them through a paper shredder and you wouldn't change the distribution of your draws.

Therefore a card that effectively removes every other card in your deck cannot change the distribution of your draws.
