DreadKhan on Why Does Mark Rosewater Dislike …

Magic in general used to care a lot about the upkeep, stuff like the Fallen Empires Storage Lands are incredibly awkward to play because you have to choose before you draw if you want mana now or later. By the time we got to Mercadia they were doing Storage very differently, Subterranean Hangar is a vastly better card in actual practice than Bottomless Vault, so this isn't a new concern I'd say, it just seems like it's impossible to actually do away with a step that is referenced on numerous cards. I like complex cards like Vault, but Hangar is not only a better card, it's much more fun to play with in practice, it's too easy to set yourself back by saving mana for an extra turn. 'Feels Bad' design space is something Magic has been avoiding progressively more over time (where you end up feeling bad due to design choices, not really play choices that are your fault, other than maybe playing questionable cards), many people consider this 'dumbing down', but I'm sure I still don't know what half of Stixhaven does so you can make a card complex without giving it complicated drawbacks. Still, I'd rather Magic made more cards like Phyrexian Negator, which have a high ceiling but require skill and planning, vs cards like Oko, Thief of Crowns. Both cards were a big deal in their day, but Oko is a challenge to play wrong, Negator is hilariously easy to screw up with.
Huh, just was looking, FE Storage lands are even clunkier than I thought, you originally chose during your untap, which is frankly absurd by modern standards. One of the instances where functional errata made a card strictly better (it now interacts fine with card draw during your upkeep), usually they do stuff like Relic Bind. Maybe I just need to get a R&D's Secret Lair, the Legends copy would then work as originally worded, which is still a bad card but at least qualifies as playable.
FormOverFunction you totally ninja'd me!

Make Me A Drink (Ashnod’s Coupon Combo)*Retired
3 years ago
PrestonShilling lol So basically the combo is Ashnod's Coupon makes a player get you a drink, but the errata sticker on it says you have to pay. That can quickly get expensive, so you play R&D's Secret Lair to ignore the errata and make the drink free.
Now you keep on looping the Coupon with an unblockable Silas Renn to keep the drinks coming every turn cycle.

How to Get People to Buy You Drinks

There's an easier way to do this. Tamiyo, the Moon Sage's emblem+infinite mana+Ashnod's Coupon+R&D's Secret Lair is a bit easier to put together. Not complaining about the deck though, it's a great deck overall.

You should play R&D's Secret Lair with Ashnod's Coupon to cause opponents to be force to pay for your drink.

Rebel Rebel, How Could They Know?
7 years ago
Apologies for posting twice in a row. I had noticed this ambiguity after my first post was made.
I want to make a slight correction to what SufferFromEDHD posted. Crib Swap cannot be tutored by your commander. Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero has received a bit of errata. The text properly reads:
(X), Tap: Search your library for a Rebel permanent card with converted mana cost X or less and put that card into play. Then shuffle your library.
So, unless your playgroup allows R&D's Secret Lair, Crib Swap cannot be fetched. I would not cut the card though--it is still unconditional removal that nets you a 1/1 pseudo-rebel--a pretty good deal for three mana.
