[CON] I think we need more mana fixing...

[urzassedatives]

Lots of new things today, woah. I am trying to piece together all the threads, and would like people to read before posting on threads. I have seen lots of posts where people...are way behind the card discussion.

At any rate, we have tons of mana fixing and the like for Conflux spoiled already...but there are still more cards out there, over 2/3 the set to be exact.

Here are two enablers that we will see in the set.
Yeah nevermind, I remember why I don't like riddles here.


Shard Convergence
Sorcery (U)
Search your library for a Plains card, an Island card, a Swamp card, and a Mountain card. Put these cards into your hand, then shuffle your library.


Armillary Sphere
Artifact (C)
, , Sacrifice Armillary Sphere: Search your library for up to 2 basic land cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

(I don't get why it would tap when the twig doesn't, especially with the twig being snapped in its art...)

Also, do we have any new information on that burn spell posted earlier today?

[Endoka]

Limited and draft is going to be insane,(sees futur difficulty in making choises).

[kenkong]

So two Wanderer's Twig would be:
2
artifact
2, Sacrifice: Search your library for up to two basic land cards and put them into hand.

Sounds pretty solid. Good CA.

Got it! It may or may not tap to sacrifice...I don't see why it should when Twig doesn't. *shrug* And...it is a common, because fixing is tough cookies to find in this set.

My original clue for the other card should have been...

CC of that Fifth Dawn card, mix Farseek and Twig gently, serve.

I forgot about Gaea's Balance, but my clue would have involved that card. :/
Neh. It isn't the same card. It sets up domain, but not in the same way, and not in a disadvantageous way.

[gilrad]

Does it have no effective mana cost like Gaea's Balance? i.e. you pay , get 4 of any at your disposal? If so, with no card disadvantage, sounds nice.

I'm thinking...

the way he wrote it, it would be 1 extra land next turn... so it's really unline explosive vegetation.

This card seems like it could be useful late game definitely, but i'm not sold on it. might help when we know the whole card...

Thank you.
Added to first post, 'riddle' edited out, multiple posts deleted.

Discuss.

[Endoka]

The reason it taps is to make Root Maze more viable.

[gilrad]

In sealed (or other 40 card limited formats), pulling out 1/4th of your land with one card sounds like a really good way to ensure you're pulling gas.

[jeaok]

ok wow...shard convergence is extremely solid. man, both of these cards are great mana fixing for limited

[Tranquilo]

Seismic Assault is loving domain's comeback.

[Devout Blue]

I love them both in limited. Even more in five color limited. =)

[Machius]

Shard convergence- good mana fixing, and paying 4 to search for 4 cards is pretty strong. Limited good, constructed probably not.

Armillary Sphere- double twig, not bad it filter's your deck and fixes your mana. Limited solid, constructed iffy.

[Hellbent4hollywood]

WOW... the applications for shard convergence are rather awesome. and like a poster said earlier, grabbing four lands in a go in sealed is the epitome of deck thinning. Can't wait to put this together with seismic assault. 8 damage for 4 on turn 4 potentially seems snazzy.
