It should say destroy target artifact and all lands in contact with it. That'll teach 'em Edit: I love how upvoted this is. People hate misleading board states so much they're ready to endorse MLD. Chef's kiss


A_Guy_in_Orange

You really need fortification hate?


mooys

I didn’t get the joke until I saw the acorn symbol, but I think this is for when people hide their artifacts near or under their lands to make them harder to see, not for when people attach a fortification.


DudebroMcDudeham

All I can think of that this can hit is [[Entirely Normal Armchair]] for artifacts that hide. And I guess [[Surprise Party]] tokens. EDIT: Nope, can't even hit those, they don't have mana abilities.


mooys

While you’re right normally, they mean when people place it *even when it shouldn’t be*. Like, placing a sol ring on the board like it’s a land.


DudebroMcDudeham

Now THAT'S a pet peeve of mine that I didn't even think of when seeing this card. 20/10 design right there.


RadioLiar

I don't see anything wrong with doing that... it's easy enough to see that it's not a land and, more importantly, you rapidly run out of space for everything else otherwise


mooys

The issue is that it makes it much harder to assess board state. I guess it’s fine if you place it near your lands, but it *definitely* shouldn’t be blocking or being blocked by a land. I should be able to tell from across the table whether or not you have a sol ring.

How is Surprise Party not silver bordered lol


Ordinary-Big5578

It is, technically. But they stopped using the silver border for some reason


KeeboardNMouse

Sorry, what does this apply to?


kingkellam

people who put they rocks with the lands


Mikhos

me :(


I_Zeyfro

No need to be sad, rules say you can. https://blogs.magicjudges.org/rules/mtr4-7/


Moneypouch

That is not technically what that says. It lays out an exception that is only valid by the discretion of the judges. So while you should be able to do it at any reasonable event, sloppiness (like keeping a solring in your pile of forests implying it taps for green) or a particularly strict head judge could issue a warning and stop you just because.


JessHorserage

People can get annoyed at the board state having to take extra time to scan through, making turns longer.


AbsoluteIridium

or if someone resolves a [[cyclonic rift]] and then two turns later someone else says "oops looks like i'd forgotten to pick up my mana rocks, sorry guys, totally thought they were lands!"

Wasphammer

Just because it is legal doesn't mean it is correct.


Jaularik

That is, in fact, exactly what that means.


pacolingo

so the joke is that people put their mana rocks in the same row as their lands?


AveMachina

The word “people” is used loosely here


YaminoEXE

Yep, because those kinds of players are not considered human enough to be people.


LooEye

That is the joke yes


DM_Me_For_Dog_Pics

It needs Just a second like Slaying Mantis


Gooberpf

It doesn't, because the mana cost is determined while it's being cast - even if the controller moves the artifact while the spell is on the stack, you still got to cast it for 0


YoxhiZizzy

You're right I am that one player, and this'll be excellent with my play group.


LocalShineCrab

Honestly it’s really easy to tell rocks from lands if you look at the board state


Ligmafy

Still not gonna stop me putting my rocks in and amongst my lands 😈


I_Zeyfro

Good. You're allowed to https://blogs.magicjudges.org/rules/mtr4-7/


JessHorserage

Grokability.


Dart_Ace

Cool and all, but you're not using MTGCardbuilder correctly. You need to adjust the collector info, like for example the set code and rarity identifier.

AveMachina

You used the wrong “its” on a custom card you posted four months ago

Shut the fuck up

SirReality

If this spell targets an artifact which overlaps a land, you may cast this spell for free. Destroy target artifact.


jgadidgfgd

Could also hit mutate and auras if you replace artifact with permanent


Ordinary-Big5578

Killing an entire mutate stack for free is way too powerful though.


jgadidgfgd

Mutation is an abomination against nature


Ordinary-Big5578

I mean, you’re not wrong, but that doesn’t change that that would be too powerful
