I test-played a bit and I think I got the lands to work well!Hallowed Fountainfoil seems to be a good land fix and much to my despair I think I have to remove The Ozolith to add one land in its place because the lands just were not consistent enough. (especially trying to get for a Counterspell, Sink into Stupor  Flip, or if I wanted to cast two cost cards. (this is part of the reason why I chose Metallic Rebuke over Counterspell before I updated my deck because getting double blue seemed tougher. but I think seventeen lands plus the Mox Opal and Springleaf Drum are good and the manapool seems much more efficient. I decided to keep the Darksteel Citadel because for artifacts entering and on the board for affinity I seemed to notice a considerable difference if they were not artifact lands. the Steel Overseer seems to be pretty strong especially if I have a bunch of Ornithopter or Memnite then I can buff them and make them more of a threat. I also had the crazy idea of adding another copy of Shadowspear because of the +1+1, trample, and especially the lifelink if the game is longer and I needed it. however, I am not quite sold on the idea. I would love to have one copy of The Ozolith, but I am unsure what to remove. I am considering removing one of the three Kapa Cannoneers Or one of the two Emry, Lurker of the Loch. but I am just not confident about removing those cards that seem essential for this deck. ); would love to hear from you and thanks so much for helping kamarupa! without you, I got no clue what I would have done!

Tokens do not have a mana cost unless the effect creating them assigns a mana cost (such as by making it a copy of an object with a mana cost). Any object without a mana cost (including lands and cards like Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar) has a mana value of 0. You'll notice Culling Ritual doesn't say anything about the mana cost of permanents, rather the mana value. A mana cost of is different from not having a mana cost, but both give a mana value of 0. Just like a mana cost of is different from a mana cost of , but both would give a mana value of 1. This is also why Culling Ritual specifies nonland, because otherwise it would destroy lands despite not having a mana cost, because the mana value is 0.

202.3a The mana value of an object with no mana cost is 0, unless that object is the back face of a transforming double-faced permanent or is a melded permanent.

Regarding nothing not being a mana cost, that is correct. Memnite shares a mana cost with Ornithopter, but Dryad Arbor does not share a mana cost with Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar since neither of them have one. I think the only cards that care about this difference are Killer Cosplay and Richard Garfield, Ph.D., neither of which are black boarder legal.

As an example, this list costs well-under half of the money of your current list, but will significantly outperform it by prettymuch every metric:

FormOverFunction Pyramid is a great name. the word itself helps explain the concept; will definitely be using that name for format 1 moving forward.

legendofa raises an interesting point of debate. it would be easy to have a rule for excluding promo and secret lair printings, unfortunately for Ornithopter it is specifically because of the invention/expeditions printings that i lean toward using using a highest rarity rule, this is primarily the difference between giving 4-5 color decks access to 20 fetch lands and 18-20 shock-lands plus a suite of other non-basic land options to only having access to half that, i think the mana bases are probably are already just too good. another argument for leaning toward highest rarity is specifically Force of Will which is totally fine at mythic but just absurd at uncommon. to answer your second question yes there are game play reasons for an 80 card format. the larger deck size slows the game down since the tempo of land drops changes. also it is to make it harder for storm style decks to go off without pushing them out of the format completely.

My biggest concern here is what to do with promos and Secret Lair cards, which have given a lot of cards rare printings without changing their actual quality or function. Are Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expansefoil qualified to be rares? Is Ornithopterfoil mythic? If cards are restricted in Podium or banned in Format 2 based on their highest or most recent rarity, these products create a huge amount of variance as Secret Lairs or promo pieces are given thematic rarities high above their actual value. Because of this pretty much by itself, I think the least rare print of a card should be the defining factor. Using the Expeditions and Inventions as a baseline, most of those would already be restricted to two copies each. Cards like Strip Mine or Mana Crypt can be further restricted or banned on a case-by-case basis.

Is there a gameplay reason for 80-card decks?

Hey cool, that brew reminds me of AspiringSpikes "Ninja Scam" deck. I think it's strong but personally am less interested in powerful gimmicks that work if only drawn or sequenced correctly. It struggles to deal with established boards, only really being able to draw cards; not outs (only negates+discard). I also dislike that you cannot pitch Ornithopter to your evokes, it makes a bad card even worse. Only good in ideal situations w/ Satoru, the Infiltrator.

I value flexible card choices, that apply to a plethora of situations/meta matchups. I competed in 2 F2F Qualifiers posting a Top 4 + Top 8 finish w/ prizing, Spike I believe has only went 3W/2L on MTGO with Ninja Scam brew. Though I am open to updates.

Thanks !
