these elves became a staple in the
contemporary "Erhnamgeddon" deck.

Lately i've been thinking a lot about how much mana screw and going first/second are a big deal in magic. So i've been thinking about a land that could "help" this issue.
Unluckyman Taiga
Land - Forest Mountain
ETB tapped unless it's the first turn of the game and you went second.
sacrifice ~ , discard a basic forest or mountain: draw a card.
Basically a strictly better dual if you started second, and a comparable but usually bit worse dual if you went first.
Acolyte of Pain
Creature - Human Cleric
Whenever an opponent pays life, you may put a +1/+1 counter on Acolyte of Pain.
When Acolyte of Pain dies, you and target opponent each lose X life, where X equals the number of +1/+1 counters on Acolyte of Pain.
2/1
Green should get in on the knowledge-testing train of Legacy "name a card" cards like Cabal Therapy, Meddling Mage, Nevermore, Runed Halo, Slaughter Games, Phyrexian Revoker and Pithing Needle.
Tracker's Obsession
Enchantmant -- Aura
Enchant green creature
When Tracker's Obsession enters the battlefield, name up to three creature cards.
When any of the named creatures enters the battlefield, gain control of that creature and destroy enchanted creature.
Enchanted creature can't block.

Obviously decks with blue have long had the best tempo cards for a while, and some of the best early game cards, and now they have one of the best mid and late game cards in Treasure Cruise. I wanna see what cards people can come up with to give other colors tempo and early game tools, preferably ones that won't be best in a blue shell. Seems likeare lacking in the "rather than pay mana cost" and "unless its controller pays" area.
The biggest problem with Delver is that it is an evasive beat that breaks even with most removal (in fact gut shot is the only one that I know of, and it only takes care of it before it flips) combine this with Daze and Force of Will, it's very easy to suffer a massive tempo loss against an active flipped Delver.Originally Posted by Scott

However, one way to look at this is to provide the other colors removal that doesnt simply ignore counterspells, but plays around them nicely.
~ 1B
Instant
~ deals 2 damage to target creature. You gain 2 life.
At the beginning of each end step, you may pay 1B. If you do, return ~ from your graveyard to your hand.
Of course, this gets shut down by Rest in Peace, but then if theyre doing that, they certainly arent playing Treasure acruise very well.
You can also template that more simply by saying it comes into play tapped if your opponent controls no land. The opening board state can be used to create some tidy wordings like that.
Similar to this...
Oh, and if Wizards ever decides the multi-colored decks are getting too plentiful and decides to bans fetchlands, I went ahead and templated these as a possible "fixed" set of duals that would smooth out mana bases without turning everything into 4-color madness.
Make it into 3, 3, 2, 2 columns, i don' see the last cards and I'm interested in pictures...
Thanks!
Oh, and interesting idea!

I can! Nice!
Your card is really interesting, i like it a lot. The added utility as a sac outlet isn't to be underestimated too!You can also template that more simply by saying it comes into play tapped if your opponent controls no land.

Also, the template u proposed is a different from mine because it actually come into play tapped if you went first and it's your first turn, but untapped every other turn. Mine enter tapped every turn except your first if you went second. So it's actually quite a bit better, basically a dual for all intent and purposes (could be an excellent budget substitute as a 1-of since you fetch for a dual every other turn).
Maybe something like this:
Fair Taiga
Land - Forest Mountain
Fair Taiga etb tapped. When Fair Taiga etb, if your opponent control as many lands as you do, or more, untap it.
2, sacrifice: draw a card
So basically it etb tapped if you went first, it's usually a functional dual if you went second, and has added utility lategame if you're flooded. Your cards is also really nice so i'd like some other cards with that template like:
Both an anti-storm and anti-counter/heavy cantrip decks. Much less restrictive in general, but something like this would actually make MUD semi-viable in legacy as it work as its own sol land. Also i think your dual cycle would work much better if they said that the other color's spells cost 1 more instead of being literally uncastable. As they are, Shocks, Fastlands etc... are way better.
-Sorcery
Draw three cards than you may reveal two green or colorless cards and put them on top of your library in any order.
If you don't, reveal two random cards from your hand and put them on top of your library in any order.
And so on, Red-White-Black Brainstorm. I don't like too much this card, but it could be an idea (to increase consistency of non-blue decks).
Fixed Brainstorm - UU
Sorcery
Draw five cards, then put four cards drawn this way on top of your library in any order.
eh ...
Red Brainstorm - RR
Sorcery
Draw three cards, then shuffle two cards drawn this way into your library.
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may return ~ from your graveyard to the top of your library.
Maybe too strong, but actually not bad considering the cmc.

Draw any number of cards, then put all but one drawn this way on top of your library in any order. You lose life equal to the number of cards drawn this way.
Probably borked as fork, but damn that is so sexy imo.
I like it, could make a nice mechanics cycle, but this card is better in T1 combo than against it - I'd prefer "You can't play spells/activated abilities, skip your next turn" as mechanics of alternate costYou can also template that more simply by saying it comes into play tapped if your opponent controls no land. The opening board state can be used to create some tidy wordings like that.

In a conversation with Einherjer he expressed that he likes the Miracles x Delver x Storm meta but feels like Storm needs a little boost to be on par, I do not agree but kept thinking about it and I think this can significatly improve Storm while not making the deck totaly broken
