Delphen7 on Cultivator Colossus puts in Gond …

1 month ago

Say I have a resolving Cultivator Colossus ability, and the first land I put in is Gond Gate. Say I then put in a Rakdos Guildgate.

Now for the most part, effects that put multiple gates on the field will have them all enter tapped, even if Gond Gate is one of them.

But Colossus is sequentially based (if...then repeat), so assuming I applied replacement effects in the correct order, would Rakdos Guildgate enter untapped?

If it does, what order do I have to apply the replacement effects (first in, first out or first in, last out)?

I’d recommend either the Pathway lands  ^Flip or even Dragonskull Summit over Rakdos Guildgate and Cinder Barrens. They’re both very budget friendly and are faster and more effective than any ETB:tapped land.

Hey, well done so far on a budget.

Some advice to consider is how to improve the manabase on a budget.

• Command Tower: staple land for two or more colored Commander decks.
• Exotic Orchard: staple land when playing three or more colors in multiplayer Commander
• Path of Ancestry: can make any color of mana.

These three lands are called Rainbow lands. Crumbling Necropolis is the Grixis Tri land, it can make any one color of mana you need.

• Grixis Panorama
• Ash Barrens
• Evolving Wilds
• Terramorphic Expanse

These are budget Fetch lands to search for any basic land.

• Shivan Reef: budget Pain land.
• Sunken Hollow
• Smoldering Marsh

These two are Tango lands which care about lots of basic lands.

• Frostboil Snarl
• Choked Estuary
• Foreboding Ruins

These are Reveal lands that also care about basic lands and have interaction with Tango lands.

Some lands to consider cutting:

• Temple of the False God: will not be able to tap for mana until your turn five or after since you're counting on only land drops to get to five or more lands.
• Dimir Guildgate, Izzet Guildgate and Rakdos Guildgate
• Some basic lands

---

Updated budget manabase example (38 lands, 24 blue mana sources, 21 black, 20 red):

• 9x Island
• 5x Swamp
• 5x Mountain
• Command Tower
• Exotic Orchard
• Path of Ancestry
• Crumbling Necropolis
• Grixis Panorama
• Ash Barrens
• Evolving Wilds
• Terramorphic Expanse
• Shivan Reef
• Sunken Hollow
• Smoldering Marsh
• Frostboil Snarl
• Choked Estuary
• Foreboding Ruins
• Darkwater Catacombs
• Shadowblood Ridge
• Temple of Deceit
• Temple of Epiphany
• Temple of Malice

Good luck with your deck.

What's the budget for the deck? Because first and foremost, before you start adding tricks n' pranks, I would suggest upgrading your manabase by taking out the tap lands such as Rakdos Guildgate, Akoum Refuge, Tresserhorn Sinks, Bloodfell Caves, and maybe even Temple of Malady for Blood Crypt, Bloodstained Mire, even some basics would probably be better. That said, some fun and funny cards are Magus of the Mirror, Indomitable Creativity, Imp's Mischief, Deflecting Swat (or some version thereof), etc. Good luck with the deck!

Thank you for doing this, saved me a bunch of time! I think the Dimir Guildgate should be a Rakdos Guildgate though

Portcullis maybe? Barbed Wire, Tainted Remedy

Vampiric Link on a creature is good cheap life gain. On Heartless Hidetsugu its a wincon.

Ditch the Vivid lands for a Rakdos Guildgate and damn near any other red/black land.

Possibility Storm won't hurt you much because almost all your cards do similar things but it REALLY screws over a lot of decks.
