What are your thoughts on The Mycosynth Gardens?

Pros: Comes into play untapped everytime. Can become a duplicate of any of our equipment at instant speed. It helps us keep a copy of a legendary artifact in the scenario where we copy one that’s under targeted removal. Proves useful during those times when we are mana flooded. Still capable of adding white. Does not use up a nonland slot. It improves the experience during those times when we only draw one equipment the whole game. Can also copy artifact creatures. Total of 13 targets that are not legendary and not mana rocks. Making it a copy of Sol Ring or Mana VaultGC can ramp us too though. It’s a land that has the opportunity to add more power to end games faster.

Con: Two lands care that it does not count as a plains. The effect is not repeatable after it successfully resolves. We risk losing a land since it’s more susceptible to removal as an artifact. It tempts the opponent to kill whatever we try to target with it. Legend rule can make legendary artifacts feel irrelevant. We currently gave 8 legendary artifacts. We would have to think of what to take out for it. Abstergo Entertainment maybe? We do not get any ETB abilities, like equipping for free. Can feel “win more” since it requires us to have an equipment to begin with. It’s not as resilient compared to our other lands that get us equipment back from the grave.

Mana VaultGC has no etched version. You sure you don't mean Mana Vault *f-etch*GC?

[[Mana Vault (2X2:560)]]

Oh hey the image is wrong, you should see the fix show up sometime tomorrow.

Mana VaultGC is not actually a mana rock at all, it's really just colorless Dark Ritual :) legendofa

Where exactly does Mana VaultGC fall on the Sol Ring - Mana Crypt scale? It costs {1} like Sol Ring, adds a net {C}{C} like Mana Crypt, but has a pretty notable usage cost. It's a game changer, so it's more restricted than Ring but less restricted than Vault. Also, I've never actually seen one in action, so I don't want to make an uninformed judgement call. Is Mana Vault the "best available" fast mana rock? Or is it not worth the $100 price tag?

I like the idea of bringing back "Banned as Commander." Yeah, it's an extra list to keep track of, but it shouldn't be a big list, and the cards on it wouldn't be too obscure. The article brings up some points that support this. Iona, Shield of Emeria, Golos, Tireless Pilgrim, Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary, and Leovold, Emissary of Trest are my biggest nominations for this list. None of them are really broken by themselves (Iona against a mono-color or near mono-color deck, but I put that as "bad matchup" rather than "inherently broken", similar to something like Rule of Law against Spellslinger), but the problems come when you have free and permanent access to them. If you have to work for your Golos payoff or Rofellos ramp, they become a lot less punishing.

cEDH interaction staples I would suggest:

Flusterstorm, Silence, Force of WillGC, An Offer You Can't Refuse, Borne Upon a Wind, Veil of Summer, Force of Negation, Swan Song, Fierce GuardianshipGC, Into the Flood Maw, Mindbreak Trap

combos you can utilize:

Valley Floodcaller + Retraction Helix + any mana positive rock like Sol Ring or Mana VaultGC resulting in infinite {C}

Devoted Druid + Swift Reconfiguration resulting in infinite {G}

Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy + Basalt Monolith resulting in infinite {C}

popular dorks in cEDH

Noble Hierarch, Birds of Paradise, Delighted Halfling

(effects like Neoform and Eldritch Evolution are good for turning your dorks into protection with Grand Abolisher or Voice of Victory when trying to combo)
