Hunga Thank you for the feedback! I always appreciate it. I have been struggling a bit lately gettin the "W" on Arena Standard Ranked since the new set released. Need to make a few changes to keep it fresh for sure. My creatures are pretty easy to nerf, and I don't have enuf burn to finish em off, and no protection, so a lot of it is about timing and tempo. I am So Anti Blue and hate getting counterspelled that I usually glom onto a "good can't be countered" card, but yeah, they usually just kill the poor Squelcher before he even gets a chance to shine. Same story with the Firebending Student. I have cards to give her haste and trample in there to get the damage across, and same for the fliers, but yeah, running out of gas is real. Opera Love Song helps a bit with the gas and also provides prowess. I'll try out the Demonic Ruckus and see if the menace helps.

Hey, just checking out other Ragga decks for ideas, mine is Raggadragga Mana Saga and it consistently delivers a stream of fatties by turn 5-6. I see you have a great selection of power-scaling mana dorks in Heronblade Elite, Kami of Whispered Hopes, and the others. Rainveil Rejuvenator is out there, worth it I think for 1 more mana, considering these guys run the engine of the deck. You can also cast things off the back of another creature's toughness via Arbor Adherent... not self-scaling, but if you cast a big fatty as the first one, you can riff off that while your dog druid gets bigger as well.
I have some excellent ideas about the 7+CMC spells that trigger the Ragga goodness as well, if you want to have a look. Summon: Bahamut and Tyrranax Rex are great ones, and Etali, Primal Conqueror is better in this deck than any other, arguably.

Finally, a Raggadragga man who gets it! Power-scaling mana dorks and 7+CMC fatties! I made Raggadragga Mana Saga focused as tightly on that as I could, and it is a pleasure to play.
Couple of power-scalers I found: Cradle Clearcutter, Rainveil Rejuvenator, and newly-minted Mona Lisa, Science Geek! Also as far as regular mana dorks go, Biophagus is amazing, Torgal, A Fine Hound boosts Ragga or Heronblade, among others, Tender Wildguide is cute(!) and powerful, Spider Manifestation, Wandertale Mentor, Somberwald Sage, Bugenhagen, Wise Elder... all fantastic!

Raggadragga has recently become my favourite Commander of all time. My deck is Raggadragga Mana Saga, and it is focused on the best mana dorks and 7+CMC creatures. It consistently goes off with some insane fatties on turn 5-6, and it's an absolute pleasure to play. It's even bracket 3, no Game Changers.
I see you have an Elf Tribal thing going on, so the way you value mana dorks is different than mine. I do have a couple of elvish suggestions though, like Fyndhorn Elder, Gilanra, Caller of Wirewood (if you got some higher CMC cards going), and Selvala, Heart of the Wilds.
Non-Elf dorks I think are especially potent are Biophagus, Cradle Clearcutter, Heronblade Elite, Spider Manifestation, Mona Lisa, Science Geek, and others... but some of them are about my deck's goal.
To me, Ragga's greatest power is one you are not taking advantage of - the third ability! If you take a look at my deck, you'll see I did custom categories, check out the 7+CMC Stuff and tell me you don't want to slam those fatties down!
It's all about the power-scaling dorks, like Kami of Whispered Hopes, which you already have. Casting one 7CMC thing untaps them and grows them enough to cast the next, and the next, it's the funnest! :)
Also you can get an easy infinite damage combo with Fanning the Flames and one of them, or Temur Sabertooth and something like Summon: Bahamut or Terastodon.

As far as I'm aware I don't think there is a way sorry, this would be the first time I'm hearing someone capable of doing it if it is possible. Yes, the format searching except the 100 card formats would be the way to do it, so no highlander or its variants nor edh or its variants.
It would be cool though, but I don't think that feature is happening anytime soon. There's a looot still to work on and fix.

So the way Expropriate works is, when you cast it, you vote for time or money. You should almost always vote time to get a free Time Walk, but if you vote for money, you could regain control of a permanent your opponent stole. Then, each opponent votes time or money. Each time vote copies your Time Walk effect, which is basically game winning, but each money vote lets you STEAL their best permanent. Its kinda like casting a Time Stretch with half of a Blatant Thievery attached to it. Most of the time it plays like a Time Walk with a full Blatant Thievery attached to it. By the way, you should also add Blatant Thievery, its awesome in this kind of deck. May I also recommend the newly unbanned Worldfire as another bigger badder explosion?

It counts colors and each color only counts once. In your example you will have a total of 4 colors represented among the permanents you control: White, Blue, Black and Green.

I mainly play 60 card decks, whenever I use the search, most decks are EDH.
Is there a way to search for any deck that is 60 cards instead?
I think the best way to do this right now is select within "format" every option except edh?
likewise, what if I wanted to search for decks with 3x copies of a card?
DrawnCanary on For Each Color Among Permanents
1 week ago
In regard to the wording of my questions title, "For Each Color Among Permanents", using Bloom Tender as an example, does that check individual permanents for each color or the total amount of colors based on all permanents I have in play.
By that I mean, if I have two creatures, a Bane, Lord of Darkness and a Betor, Ancestor's Voice, do I have 4 colors among permanents (White, Blue, Black, Green) or 6 colors among permanents (White, Blue, Black, White, Black, Green)?

As others have said, your term “ mana acceleration”, while not common, and being a bit overly wordy, is still obvious enough what you’re talking about.
However, imo using the term “mass destruction”, it is not obvious or intuitive at all what you’re talking about. I would have to ask for clarity on what you were talking about. And I would immediately assume you were a newer/less-experienced player who wasn’t aware of the correct terminology.
Words matter. While language is flexible, there’s still limits where you create more confusion-than-clarity in trying to convey an idea. Imo, word-choice should primarily prioritise clearly getting across the idea you mean express, as opposed to choosing words arbitrarily in the hopes that you’ll sound more interesting.

There was a period of time where "Ramp" referred to land-based acceleration, while acceleration itself generally referred to artifacts, with creatures being used interchangeably
Then ramp started to be used for the static permanents, with acceleration referring to one-shots like lotus petal and wild cantor
And I think that's where my old fogey brain has settled. I'll refer to treasure tokens as "acceleration", while signets, dorks, and extra lands I usually refer to as ramp

Hunga on Firebenders Always Lie!

Okay, your biggest issue is that anything that can block will negate all your efforts to pump your creatures. Also you run out of gas fast, like really fast.
I'd recommand that Demonic Ruckus so you got some evasion and can get a hit trough.
Overall Hexing Squelcher is overrated, immensely and there is a reason it dropped so hard in price. You'd rather pay 2 life and avoid getting hit by a 6/x for example and counterspells aren't that relevant in the meta really.

Rielle, the Everwise seems very viable. As does Runechanter's Pike, Glamdring, and Think Twice. Desperate Ravings seems more reliable that you'd think. Crackling Drake gives you a heave hitter. Desolate Lighthouse and Geier Reach Sanitarium seem good too. Anvil of Bogardan is reliable and gives you no max hand size. Oona's Grace lets you filter out mana flood situations. Drownyard Temple is ramp from the graveyard. Burning Inquiry is pseudo mill. Academy Ruins can get stuff back if you discard it. Niv-Mizzet the Parun and his variations seem solid. Reliquary Tower is awkward but viable. Goblin Lore means you have a heavy hitter for a turn. Exalted Flamer of Tzeentch and Charmbreaker Devils gets you stuff back... as does Revolutionist.

"Everyone talks about Cars, while I think Automobile is a valid substitute to mention the very same thing. Discuss."
They mean the same thing; Being able to spend more mana in a turn than you'd be able to just by playing your land for turn.
However, Ramp is shorter to write and say, that's why it has preference from the masses.

Ramp comes from Rampant Growth. It's mtg game lingo as much as saying Murder for any single-target creature kill spell.
I use ramp and don't see mana people use acceleration. Though, it doesn't really matter one way or another as long as every knows what your referring to.

When this card enters create X enchantment artifact tokens called (they have : Sacrifice this artifact gain 2 life and add .
Whenever a angel dies create a halo token. Creatures you control gain +1/+X where X is the number of halo tokens in play.
So we have Gaea for Yavimaya and Yawgmoth for uraborg make a Shivan god/avatar that represents it.

I think "ramp" is a pretty common part of the MtG, given how widely it's used among most players I've encountered, as well as a good amount of MtG content creators. The Command Zone uses "Ramp" as one of the categories when evaluating new pre con decks.
Ramp is also widely used enough by players that it has its own Scryfall tag.
There's no hard and fast rule as to what's Ramp vs Acceleration, but I think of them a bit distinctly when I brew decks. For me, Ramp is generally spells that help with mana accumulation in turns 1-3 (in the context of EDH). I view "Mana acceleration" more as mana accumulation for mid game and beyond, generally spells that aren't really possible to play in the first few turns. Usually I look at Treasure generation or some more mana intensive ritual effects as acceleration in mid game and beyond.
Some cost reduction effects like Pearl Medallion and the others in the cycle can be a bit of both. They help with getting spells ahead of curve in early turns, & have an acceleration effect by increasing game actions that can be made in later parts of the game once you have additional mana to play multiple cost reduced spells.

I brewed a few decks some years ago with Rosheen Meanderer, so after checking this here brew out, I had to go back and review when and what I did - it was 6 years ago, lol! Been a minute I guess. But one of the three brews wasn't even finished. So I took that as an opportunity to revisit the concept with a "wizened" mind lol. In my playtesting so far, this brew of mine slaps. Maybe you'll find stuff in it that's useful, but if not, I owe you my thanks for inspiring me to go back and think about the Rosheen creatures and the X cost mechanic. X-ing

Most players use the terms "mana ramping" or simply "ramping" to describe increasing the amount of mana that they have available, but I prefer to use the term "mana acceleration," because I think that it sounds much cooler (similar to how I prefer to say "mass destruction" over "board wiping," because it, again, sounds cooler), so I am wondering how many other players use that term, as well.
What does everyone else say, about this? How many other players use the term "mana acceleration?" I certainly am interested to receive your feedback, on this matter.
