I don't understand WotC's design decisions for MtG.

Last set they put all this emphasis on specific cards that produce and require anus mana and then they release cards like this in this set, which allow you to produce that sort of mana whenever you like. Why do their decisions always seem to be self-destructive?

Nice b8

In case you're serious, you cannot produce colorless with that cryptolith rite. You can only produce one of the 5 *colors* as it says on the card. As to wizards' retarded design decisions, who the fuck knows, 90% of the time they're retarded

I'm sure the guys who run the company knows better than some raging basement dwellers.
>>
>>46370057
What do they accomplish by making colorless mana exempt from this? Also, assuming you're right, it doesn't mention five colors at all. It says 'any color' which has to include the new mana symbol as well.
>>
>>46370096
The new color symbol does not represent a color, it represents colorLESS. I don't even know why I'm doing this
>>
>>46370096
>any color
>anus mana is colorless
Colorless is not a color
>>
>>46370096
>colorless is a color
People like this are why we got a new mana symbol in the first place.
>>
>>46370096
Then what would it have to be written like in order to add anus mana as well? 'Add one mana of any type to your mana pool'? Why bother giving colorless mana a symbol if you're not going to treat it as a color of mana?

"or {C}" would work, as would "any type", though that would include snow I'm pretty sure. {C} in costs was a theme for a single set and will rarely be used in future is the reason for this. Not everything has to synergise
>>
>>46370211
I'm not sure any type would work, or at least they would never print that on a card for fear of being unspecific.
>>
>>46370211
There's only six types of mana. The five colors and colorless.

Snow is a cost like hybrid mana. It just means "this mana can only be paid with mana that was produced by a snow source". A Snow-Covered Forest still just makes green mana.

People were literally calling this troll thread in advance during the spoiler threads. Come on, guy. Have some pride in your work.

I thought it was against the rules to have 7 cards of the same name in a deck

I'm disappointed in you, Anon.
>>
>>46370096
Colorless is not a color. Come on /tg/. I know these basic concepts of MTG can be hard for you but I believe you can do it!
>>
>>46370430
I like how you think
>>
>>46370354
Set that pile on fire, then build Faeries.
If you're on a budget, then build Rogues.

>>46370155
>but people on the internet are WRONG

>>46370108
But White isn't a color either
>>
>>46371618
And black can be considered an amalgamation of all colors.
>>
>>46370108
Maro... is that you?
>>
>>46372226
I don't know what you're implying?

Colorless is not a color. This enchantment cannot produce colorless mana. Ezpz
>>
>>46370096
>"any color"
>thinks it can make colorless

>colorless
>literally means something that has no color whatsoever


You would figure that someone so retarded wouldn't even be able to play Magic at all.

>>46372345
I suspect he is merely pretending to be retarded to get people to respond.

It's from the first game.
I was going to find the spot in the video using their life totals,
but both player gain and lose like 50 life over the course of the game.
They only cast 6 rhinos though.

Jesus, i know we call shit decks "piles of cards" but this takes the cake, i genuinely believe this person just picked up a handful of blue and black cards from a box and decided to run it.
>>
>>46374844
It's called a 'toolbox deck', a pleb like you wouldn't understand
>>
>>46374959
But where are the tools?
>>
>>46377411
it doesn't a toolbox with like hammers and things
it is a metaphor
