Someone pointed out this card from the Dominaria leak out over in the MTGLegacy subreddit:

(Spoilers, obviously.)

Damping Sphere

2

Artifact


If a land is tapped for two or more mana, it produces C instead of any other type and amount.

Each spell a player casts costs 1 more to cast for each other spell that player has cast this turn.

Looks like a great replacement for Sphere/Thorn?

I think so! It is also great against Red Stompy, Eldrazi and other City of Traitor/Ancient Tomb decks.

Damping sphere seems so good for turbo depths! Gaea's cradle tapping for one seems pretty good lol

[solnox]

the sphere looks worth testing. lock rocks are always worth trying

I think it will end up being a sb slot. Turbo depths being a land based combo bodes well with damping sphere imho

Hey guys, this is my list:

Hymn doesn't give you information nor hit relevant interaction from a decent sized hand with any consistency, not sure why you'd play it. Name of the game is not card advantage but bash you with Marit Lage ASAP after you have no answers if you ever had any.

Why Leyline of Sanctity? It's fairly useless vs Storm who's bringing every bounce effect they have for the matchup anyway, you can't brainstorm extra copies away, and if you want protection from turn 1 decks you're better off running some split of Surgical Extraction and Mindbreak Trap. Burn is a bye and you don't care about Cabal Therapy a decent amount of the time. Fetch Dryad Arbor and hardcast ESG in addition to Safekeepers are all the edict protection you need.

When and how were you planning to resolve Primetime?

Choke seems redundant since DRS+cantrips.dec are already among our best matchups.

1-of Steely Resolve seems unnecessary given you have no way to tutor for it or card selection besides 2 Libraries, just run 3 Safekeepers.

Deluge is fine if you're facing lots of DNT, but I'd run 4 Decays/3 Decays 1 Krosan Grip if you ever want to win through a Blood Moon.

[solnox]

what are the leylines for?

Prime time seems super slow in any Matchup you play it in.

choke doesnt do enough even vs miracles

Steely Resolve is hot garbage and you're better off with safekeeper

deluge being 3 mana hurts a lot vs dnt's taxing effects. try out golgari charm/marsh casualties if you want a sweeper effect


I've 5-0'd twice in the past week with the following SB

2x Surgical Extraction
2x Rite of Consumption
1x Marsh Casualties
1x Library
3x Abrupt Decay
1x Boseiju
1x Karakas
1x Mishras factory
1x Pithing Needle
2x Thorn of Amethyst

[solnox]

a note to all who are playing snow-covered basics w/o into the north.

There's no reason to give up free information to your opponent with those lands.

[Nathan_Hsu]

Has anyone extensively tested and/or have an opinion on:

1. The usefulness of Dryad Arbor? I see more and more lists dropping it, but I was under the impression that it was a good hedge against edict effects. Is it purely a meta call? Or is it just bad? I hate top decking it for sure. Maybe a sideboard slot?

2. Sylvan library. The old paradigm was likely 3 in the sideboard, now some lists are 1:1 splits.

3. 3rd Exp map vs 4th lotus petal? Again, is it a speed vs consistency thing?

Any opinions on this weekend's 9th place deck from SCG Open: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/972116#paper?

I can kind of get behind the maindeck Dark Confidants, but... Rancor? Really?? Did he win any games with Vampire Hexmage beats with Rancor? That kind of blew my mind.

I think Rancor was to go over flyers

Oooh, I see! OK, I like it much better then. Because it can help with the single-turn kill to avoid an edict, but it also helps with the Vampire beatdown plan. Interesting! I'm still not sure I'd cut a map for it though.

I just liked that Hymn could hit problem lands, if ever it came up.

I sniped the important cards in their hands with TS or Duress and rip the rest apart with Hymn but I can understand what you mean.

5-0ed with 74/75 solnox's list, except golgari charm over marsh casualties. I think we did it.

[malekith]

Any advice for sideboarding against Spiral Tides deck?
Yesterday I was confronting it with bad results. In fact it plays ethernal turns using and re-using (playing Time Spirak) almost all the deck. Even I had created the ML token fast at the start of one of his turns but during this same turn he filtered all his deck and sideboard (using the blue wish) until find the proper card to unsummon ML.

You're talking about the list with Rite of Consumption, right? Is there a reason to play Boseiju and Rite of Consumption other than Miracles? I know you're preparing for the GP in Kyoto. If you take a look at the deck database on Hareruya (minus the MTGO data), does Miracles seem like enough of the Japanese metagame for you to want to devote slots to it? It might be a bit of a deviation in terms of playing an optimal deck, but since it's a team event I'm just planning to depend on my teammates if I run into white decks since Death and Taxes is in a bad spot at the moment and Miracles doesn't seem to be a huge part of the meta. Honestly, I'm more afraid of running into Depths mirrors or Lands.
