ALTERNATIVE MANA COSTS FOR THIS SPELL CANT BE PAID.
Each opponent must secretly choose a number. Each opponent exiles all but X permanents, you gain twice Y life, and all costs are increased by Z. Any opponent who chose the same number as another opponent skips their next beginning phase. If all opponents chose the same number, they lose the game and you win the game.

If you don't like a certain strategy, build decks to deal with it, and as a last resort know the decks your playing against and tell them you don't want to play against it or bring out your stronger deck to deal with it.

The problem is that Landfall's only counter is MLD.
So if you can't MLD, Landfall is just an uncoutnerable strategy.

>>98163764
Problem is that unless you can win the turn or next with MLD, Landfall is going to just ramp back into the same spot.
This is why I run Zo-Zu. Little nigga just punishes greedy land decks. Play a land? Take damage. Play a non-basic land? Take damage. Doesn't win often, but certainly makes people re-think their land strategy.

There's targeted MLD like Acid Rain.

>>98163856
There are some that equalize, but generally the play isn't land destruction, it's stax and interaction to keep them from playing stuff that lets them slam lands on board; and on the other hand it is also playing a deck that can keep appropriate pace. Sometimes I hear stories like "landfall is unfair, they just dumpstered us turn 11" and you just kinda have to stare.

ah thanks seems accurate.
>>98163932
man watching it played was like they did some ramp and then they'd spend all their mana on one X spell. like draw 6 cards or make a 7/7. it looked pretty rough.

Just did an EoE draft at the LGS, managed to pick up a shock land and some fun commander cards while going 2-1. Magic is fun lads.

It's not for free. You have to tap him. Whereas this just has a mana cost, which is far more easily abused. Especially in Green. I can think of multiple ways to have this go infinite, off the top of my head.

not talking about money but Yugioh does its classics and its characters better than MTG does
as a kid you remember blue eyes, exodia, dark magician
as an adult you see these tournament level decks that play those cards, yeah most of the format is random fuck off maids and anime things but every single time an OG thing gets support it calls back to the classics
my fav is skull servant

and then you come to mtg, you have commander decks where you dont even want to play every single version of your commander in name, old modern archetypes go by the wayside so much splitter twin got unbanned and nothing changed, blue red storm? that shit is dogshit
standard never has anything OG happen anymore
there is no soul of mtg, its just cards with text replaced with cards that have better text

Any Cryptolith Rite effect is infinite once you have 4 squirrels. The biggest issue is haste, but you're in a green so worse case scenario you sit out for a round casting protection spells and wait to swing your bajillion squirrels.

Your opponent is, presumably, spending cards to get that ramp. If my opponent plays a Rampant growth on turn 2 and then an Explosive Vegetation on turn 3 they spend two cards to have three additional lands in play. If I then cast Armageddon and blow up everyone's lands the ramp player is now down two cards to be in the same position as everyone else.

>>98164385
This is why "MLD counters green ramp" is genuinely the biggest midwit take out there. Green has the best recovery from MLD and if they're running an optimal land ramp package you're handing them the whole game by doing that.

Deadass green and blue are the best colours as you can make almost anything work with them, Simic is ultimate baby mode.

Black would be the best if blacks draw and ramp weren’t so heavily conditional, often asking you to pay with life or a sacrifice, and staples for black didn’t cost a lot more than staples for other colours except white.

White is unironically the worst colour in mtg, absolutely abysmal card draw and ramp and most of your staples cost a shit ton of money. I’ve only ever seen blink, token, Voltron and Angel strategies work with mono white, you try to do anything else and it’s an uphill battle.

>>98164421
Green is the strongest in a vacuum.

Blue is an extremely close second with the gap narrowing every set due to wotc's love of artifacts.

Black is okay but disjointed and lacks a clearly defined advantage of any of the fundamental mechanics. It gets draw and ramp but worse than green or blue.

White is wotc's whipping boy. It does nothing well due to being nearly locked out of the essential mechanics of draw and ramp outside of some very few efficient cards.

Red is a special case: it's extremely strong in every other format but suffers due to needing to remove 120+ life instead of just 20.
