@fsecco Yep, it's not great, but it's an option. If you're building a Shop deck that hates null effects, this seems better than praying you can build up 7 non-artifact mana for Meteor Golem or Spine of Ish Sah even if you have to dodge Wasteland.
Interesting to note that this is the cheapest way for a shops deck to remove a Null Rod or Stony Silence, though definitely slow.
Turn 1 Ancient Tomb,
Turn 2 <this>, tap to add 1 counter
Turn 3 Wasteland/Mishra's Factory/whatever, activate
This card is fantastic, but doesn't look like it slots into existing Shop decks very easily. The fact that it has an immediate, powerful impact on the two most powerful decks (other Shops and PO) makes me think that we'll see Shop pilots taking a wrench to their manabase to make it work.
@fsecco My Rock deck cost less than $40 to put together and that's using 'real' cards. If you're looking at using gold borders, all decks are fairly cheap. Not sure how much cheaper you can get.
Really looking forward to putting together my old Rock and slivers decks. Gonna be a bit painful without dual lands but I'm sure the mana is there!
@stuart said in Brian Kelly is actually responsible for the Unrestriction of Mishra's Workshop:
Please no. Vintage Highlander would just be Blue.format.
Mission accomplished.
This thread went into the dumpster for a minute, glad to see we're still able to recover without mod interference.
On topic, it's kind of funny thinking of @brianpk80 as the grandfather of all shops players while being known for playing oath. Very "I brought you into this world, I'll take you back out".
Are there any other notable ways to generate thopters other than Hangarback Walker and the above-mentioned Tezz? I don't think this is a good card, but it is a neat card.
