Mana dorks galore!

General forum

Posted on June 29, 2013, 9:01 p.m. by JoeMama

A simple, yet interesting question for those that have played for a while: how many modern 1-2 mana mana makers can you name? Bonus points for typing them all down in this forum!

you mean Llanowar Elves variants? And 1-2 mana cost?

Arbor Elf Birds of Paradise Avacyn's Pilgrim Zhur-Taa Druid

I don't play modern, and I'm not going to cheat by using gatherer, but I'm sure there are more

Would something that sacs itself for mana count, like Wild Cantor ? Because it's a two-drop that produces mana, technically, but it only does it once, so it ain't much of a mana dork.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Noble Hierarch . It's arguably one of the best dorks in modern.

Noble Hierarch , Birds of Paradise , Deathrite Shaman , Wall of Roots , Llanowar Elves , Heritage Druid , Lotus Cobra (if that counts), Bloom Tender , that other wall that adds G for each defender you control, Pili-Pala , Avacyn's Pilgrim , Elves of Deep Shadow , Radha, Heir to Keld , Gyre Sage , Zhur-Taa Druid , bit stumped but I'm sure there's more.

Wall of Roots was reprinted in Timeshifted, it's legal.

@Tempest: That'd be the one. :)

Oh, I was suggesting it. I didn't see that you had, emrakool.

Ah ok. :)

Also forgot Standard's least known mana dork, Deranged Assistant . I remember using it during a Dark Ascension draft after I pulled Havengul Lich . Unfortunately everybody else snagged all the UB draw and removal before it got around to me.

I made a cool lil unreleastic combo :)

Devoted Druid + Power Conduit + Corpsejack Menace

Too bad I can't figure out a card like Voltaic Key that would let it loop infinitely :/

Same thing with Magewright's Stone + Moonscarred Werewolf  Flip but it has a 2 spell limit. :/

Why not just do Zhur-Taa Druid + Orochi Leafcaller + Freed from the Real . It's infinite damage :D
