[Oversoul]

Maybe we should rename it NON-LAND card count for you... my intent was to count non-lands... mana producing lands are not something I'd count when counting non-lands, while Maze of Ith would be in my non-land count...

You can call it whatever you want--as long as it's couting what it says it's counting.

 

[DarthFerret]

Can I add a Dissension card to this?

 

[Spiderman]

Sure.

This helps even out and gives us a nice early attacker/blocker, if I am reading the mana symbol count correctly...

[Spiderman]

It's actually from Ravnica... I added the link.

 

[BigBlue]

I'm going with a simple utility card...

(Our CC is off.... when oversoul corrected I don't think he did it right... Are we counting all lands as cards or just some? There are 33 non land cards and the 2 lands) And I have 1 more card I want to add... but this is a chaos 5C with not much seemingly going on...

Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[BigBlue]

For deck 7, are we going dual color again? I think it'd be interesting to do a highlander tribal deck.... maybe B/W Clerics?

 

[Ransac]

Yeah, B/W will still be an option to vote on. I personally want to see an Artifact-Based deck next.

[Ransac]

I've counted that list four times now and I'm getting only 35 non-land cards instead 36. Plus, we should start focusing on mana (Like TomB has done these last two days).

Quick question for all: I'd like to retract my submission of Last Stand and replace it with Unnatural Selection. I just feel that Last Stand won't be that effective, since I imagine we won't be using a whole of basic lands. Plus, Unnatural Selection would make Sliver Overlord much more powerful.


Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[Spiderman]

Maybe someone else forget to quote the most current decklist when they added their card?

Fine by me.

 

[Mooseman]

There are only 35 non-land cards.
When the 2nd land was added the card count went up also.

 

[BigBlue]

It got off when Oversoul "fixed" it, but he added a card as well.... It's different interpretations of card count.... I am in the group who views card count as "non-land" count... where he is in the camp of any card counts....

When building my own decks, I would even count mox diamond as a land, but that's just me...

 

[Ransac]

No one answered my other question. Anyone object to me switching my submission?


Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[Mooseman]

Change away

 

[Oversoul]

It's different interpretations of card count.... I am in the group who views card count as "non-land" count... where he is in the camp of any card counts....

I don't consider it to be an "interpretation." Lands are cards both in reality and in the rules of Magic.

If you need a shorthand version of "non-land count" then perhaps "spell count"?

 

[TomB]

That was prolly my fault...sorry Oversoul...Like BigBlue, when deckbuilding I usually divide the cards into mana producing cards and non-mana producing cards for the purposes of determining land/spell ratios...I would count Sol Ring, for example, just like a land.

I usually count the mana producing creatures too, as half a land's worth of mana production (i.e. 2 BoP's = 1 land), though I think I'd recommend against doing that in THIS deck as they may be needed as chump blockers...
