Raging_Squiggle on What are mana abilities? Golos …

4 years ago

An activated mana ability is defined as:

1. An activated ability that produces mana.

2. The ability does not target .

3. The ability is not a loyalty ability.
   

A triggered mana ability is defined as:

1. A triggered ability that triggers off an activated mana ability.

2. Produces Mana.

EX: Mirari's Wake has a triggered mana ability. Carpet of Flowers does not.

Golos, Tireless Pilgrim 's second ability is not a mana ability because it does not satisfy the #1 requirement for activated mana abilities.

As for casting spells without paying their mana costs, any additional costs that are required must still be paid. Gaea's Balance has a mandatory additional cost of sacrificing 5 lands, it doesn't matter if you cast it without paying its mana cost.

Silverseas on What are mana abilities? Golos …

4 years ago

I'm building a Golos, Tireless Pilgrim Deck and wanted to make sure I was 100% sure on his ability.

If I use his ability and Gaea's Balance is one of the three cards, I still sacrifice the 5 lands? A mana ability is only when the ability requires mana to be spent? Not, for example, a tap ability?

X in card costs will be 0?

Do I reveal the cards exiled with Golos or do I simply put them face up in exile and people can choose to look at them?

How does this play with the 5 colours? Is the rocks enough? What about an Urborg Elf , a Quirion Explorer ? or a Shard Convergence , Seek the Horizon or Gaea's Balance for mana fixing?

Of course Birds of Paradise is better, but depends on your budget :)

Great deck +1How about Overlaid Terrain, Gaea's Balance, or Natural Balance

Overlaid Terrain is great if you have a Backup Plan to hand.

Gaea's Balance sac 5 lands and gives 3 lands back

Natural Balance, great if you can sac you lands.

Please let me know what you think :)

This reminds me of Gaea's Balance. I'm confused why it's an artifact.
