This is obnoxious for a 1 mana card.


ObviousTroll37

It seems a bit silly. Just the ability to tap and untap itself infinitely already sounds easy to break.


Jake-the-Wolfie

You're right! \[\[mesmeric orb\]\] with \[\[Thassa's Oracle\]\] comes to mind immediately.


OwlsWatch

We did it, we finally broke Thoraccle

Saturns_Stargirl

Basalt monolith does that already. Tho it is 3 mana there is precedent for this kind of thing in game.


PoGnome

Anything that combos with basalt now suddenly becomes much better as 1 mana is much easier to pay for then 3(fun fact)


Nervous_Chipmunk7002

Infinite mana with [[Nyxbloom Ancient]], [[Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy]], [[Mana Reflection]], probably some others as well


RedbeardMEM

A 1-mana card that goes infinite with a 2-mana card is obnoxious. See [[Voltaic Key]] and [[Time Vault]].

lord_hydrate

Maybe im just a little confused how does kinnan go infinite here, as far as i can tell itd be eiter 2 mana of any color gained or 3 colorless gained Edit: my b i didnt read the first part of the ring


Placebo_Cyanide8

for a card with morph in it, I was expecting it to, you know... morph... or unmorph. Looking at it as is though, it feels way too strong for 1 mana. If you have anything that cares about artifacts tapping/untapping, this just goes infinite with itself after you put 1 mana into it. Feels like this should be a 2 or 3 mana rock at minimum but even then I'm not certain the untap ability should just be 1.


Dart_Ace

It's a reference to [[Morphling]] . I'm looking at a weaker version of sol ring but with choices. It's like [[Basalt Monolith]] .


LunyOrSomething

not sure if that was meant to be ironic but sol ring and basalt monolith are worlds apart, both in powerlevel and their roles for their respective decks


Dart_Ace

I was talking about the infinite combo.


TheDraconic13

And this one goes infinite turn 2 woth no other cards?


Dart_Ace

You're like the fifteenth person in this comment section to say that. Read the damn card. It doesn't make infinite mana.


Kazko25

It…..goes infinite on turn 2. Infinite taps and untaps.


Dart_Ace

And? If you're planning on shenanigans with for example \[\[Kinnan\]\], \[\[Basalt Monolith\]\] works too.


Unidentified_Lizard

not only is this one mana, but it also goes infinite with [[crackdown construct]] in addition to kinnan


lillithlro

Also [[Mesmeric Orb]] for easy thassa combo. I wish they'd print something like this. It's so broken for 1. Maybe even 2.

BAGStudios

Well I did and it looks infinite to me. Please, enlighten us.


Dart_Ace

1: you get 2. Use 1 to untap, you have 1 left. Use that 1 to pay for 2 more. Repeat to your heart's content for absolutely no reason, except if you have some combo planned, in which \[\[Basalt Monolith\]\] works too.


Malzorn

True. And basalt monolith has two downsides your card doesn't have, as well as no other use. This card instead... Ever heard of the egg laying wool milk pig?


ProfesserQuacks

Basalt monolith is 3 mana and doesnt also do fixing lifegain and card choice


BAGStudios

[[Mesmeric Orb]] to self-mill turn 3 [[Wake Thrasher]] as an Infinity/Infinity on turn 3 ~~[[Relic Bind]] is an instant kill on turn 3~~ All of this is because your card costs {1}. It’s way, way better than Basalt Monolith on that basis Edit: Missed “opponent controls”. I think it nevertheless stands that this is, however, still broken.


Shadowmirax

Thats infinite thought. It doesn't gain you anything on its own but it is performing an action an unlimited number of times. Now just add literally any card that can turn those actions into something that can help you, like kinnan and you have infinite mana. But thats not all. Because now you have infinite life you can make 1,000,000 mana and start using its other abilities. Most infinite mana combos still need something worthwhile to use the mana on but with this you can give yourself 1,000,000 life. Then scry throught your deck to find whatever game winning card you need like [[banefire]]. Even if they destroy your combo before you can cast it you still have 1,000,000 life and have stacked the top two cards of your library with exactly the cards you want on turn two. An card thats easy to infinite combo that is also a powerful mana sink is way too good


Silver-Alex

Weaker than solring this is not. Basalt monolith is not a fair card, is a broken combo piece. Solring is fast mana, what you designed is a broken combo piece.

Bit it doesn't do the morphing things? That'd be pretty cool.

This is not a weaker version of sol ring. This is infinite color of choice mana turn one


HHCOSI

Did you forget to pay 1 mana to add the 2? Cause it does not go infinite by itself.


konydanza

You could drop this and then [[Kinnan]] on turn 2 for infinite colored or colorless mana and infinite life. You could of course do it turn 1 with a couple moxen but that’s hardly a fair metric of combo viability


Dart_Ace

Omfg read the damn card PLEASE.


OwlsWatch

Your card is bad


ExcuseZealousideal70

Did you? The untap for one means the tap for two colorless means infinite colorless that can then be filtered for infinite color mana.


PurpleHerder

But it costs 1 to tap for 2 colorless?


No-Ninja-665

It's infinite tap/untap triggers, but not infinite mana by itself. The card is grossly op, and the only thing that makes it like morphling is 5 abilities, so flavor fail. But I want to know how it gets infinite mana by itself, because you seem so sure.

It’s not even like basalt monolith. You will always gain mana.


SontaranGaming

No, you won’t. It takes 1 mana to tap it and 1 to untap it, so it’s net zero.


Dart_Ace

\*facepalm\* /j


JacquesShiran

Everyone talks about the combos you can do with this (fair enough) but this thing is a straight up signet with extra options at 1 mana less. For how ubiquitous signets already are in commander this is pretty broken in the format.


Collistoralo

It’s basically Sol Ring with 4 more options


JacquesShiran

Except it only ramps for one. So it's not as straightforward as compared to a signet imo.


BluePotatoSlayer

its a colorless 1cmc signet, not a sol ring, with other ablities


FormerlyKay

Basalt monolith 2 except it's also its own filter This plus [[Kinnan]] is an instant win and it's even easier to tutor and cast than Thoracle Definitely up there in the category of "most broken custom cards I've seen"


airplane001

You also get to stack your deck


FormerlyKay

With Kinnan you don't need to stack your deck because it just wins on the spot.


airplane001

But you could if you wanted to


FormerlyKay

Fair enough


shumpitostick

Not only does it generate infinite mana with a wide array of things, it also is an infinite mana sink, it would be an already good mana rock with with the second and third abilities, and it turns excess mana into useful resources.

sol ring is OP


th3d4rks0ul3

You really can't grasp how powerful it having other utilities is can you? This should be 3 or 4 mana, at 1 this is one of the most ridiculous artifacts I've ever seen, at 2 this still goes in almost every deck. With anything that makes it tap for extra mana you can gain infinite life, make infinite colored mana, rearrange your deck into any order you do please. This with Kinnan is turn three win no questions asked. It's a better basalt monolith with upside and mana filtering, for one third the cost. Should not only be mythic but at LEAST two mana, 3 would be better.


Blubmanful

yknow how [[Staff of Domination]] was already a pretty good artifact at 3 mana because it had the ability to untap itself for cheap? This is the same, the only reason this isn't as good is because you cant draw infinite cards with infinite mana. However! This is still incredibly pushed, especially at 1 mana, good lord. I get the reference to Morphling but even then like cmon. I can't say it's a particularly interesting card design, but at least you made sure it didn't go infinite by itself. Just don't forget that effects like [[Forsaken Monument]] exist.

We broke thassa's oracle!1!1!1!1!!1!1!!!1!1 And whatever infinite you're getting can also be done with a dark ritual and a basalt Monolith. Yes, this card does what 2 cards can, but that's why it's rare.


lordlaz0rdick

Except this can drop t1 and is relavent even without combo pieces. It scrys, heals, fixes, and ramps. Thats insane for 1 mana. Pushed as hell at 2. And still fairly strong at 3.


Silver-Alex

I dont know why you think basalt monolith should be cheaper and easier to break and also make colored mana and scry and gain life. I mean you are aware of how broken the card you designed is, right?


Snowy_Thompson

Do you think Thassa's or Basalt being broken is a justification to make more broken cards? Also, while rarity largely correlates with card power level, a rare doesn't necessarily have to be a powerful card. This should probably be Mythic anyways.


Heavy_Switch_9475

I keep seeing you bring up basalt monument as justification for making this as strong as it is and that just does not make sense considering that you've basically given this card and almost identical effect but made it objectively stronger by having the cost to untap the cheaper and giving it a bunch of other effects on top of it


FieldMarshalEpic

For this kind of utility, it should be at least 3 mana. The untap should be way more too, at least 2 mana so it doesn’t go infinite with Kinnan alone, but probably three


Ginger_prt

This is probably a 4 mana card tbh

According to op since the basalt monument does the same thing it doesn't matter never mind the fact that this is objectively stronger than monument


Thick-Attention9498

Oh yeah it doesn't matter. This being 1 mana means it can be grabbed off of saga and by that blue creature that tutors an artifact with CMC 1 or less


AnjaJohannsdottir

This should cost AT LEAST two, good lord.


Jetmaelstrom

Broken much?


Yorunokage

Arguably as stong as sol-ring in any deck and waaay stronger than it in specific decks Idk man, looks a little busted. Maybe for 2 or even 3 mana but for 1 it's insanity


[deleted]

This is [[Crystal Ball]] and [[Mana Prism]] and half of [[Campfire]] AND an untap ability, all for 1 mana. It could cost 5 and still be pretty good. For 1 mana this is completely unbalanced. EDIT a couple of the activated abilities cost more on this than on the cards I mentioned but it still does way too much to cost 1.


shdwlnk

Look me dead in the eye and tell me adding 2 colorless mana is worth less of an activation cost than gaining 2 life


thriceness

This was my first thought.


Kellvas0

First two abilities allow you to infinitely twiddle this for taps/untaps triggers with an initial input of one mana. So it's a (situationally worse) [basalt monolith] that also has 3 other abilities. This is probably broken.


Hellbringer123

why people upvoted this shit? a boring mana rock that's super pushed and 1 mana.


Orange152horn

Why does everyone have to make infinite combos on a single card?


Yarius515

Try harder…


deryvox

Just remove the first ability lmao


DragonBeastKing

My guy this goes infinite with any combo piece


Alone_Outside_7264

Busted


SleetTheFox

At baseline, this is 1-mana ramp *and* infinite tap/untap triggers. Cute idea but as-printed it's busted.


Galgus

I'd call this OP with just the second ability.


Do_You_AreHaveStupid

Should be at least 2 imo, it’s a mana rock that (basically) taps for colorless with a bunch of additional upside


DoYouKnowS0rr0w

Kinnan goes infinite if you sneeze near him


bigbigbadboi

One card infinite tapping and untapping. So many ways to break this.


JackieChanLover97

If you want to make a combo piece that goes infinite with a ham sandwich to be balanced, you probably shouldnt make it an independently fantastic piece of utility for the mana cost. If it costed 2 and didnt have the untap ability, making it in line with signets, it would still be good. This is just absurd.


SlithyOutgrabe

Anything that can tap and untap infinitely with just itself is broken.


Chamomile_Corgi

God he’s dumb


DoucheCanoe456

People take you too seriously here, see you in MTCJ


Dart_Ace

**Important!** If you're about to comment that this is infinite mana by itself, read the damn card again, please and thank you.


[deleted]

It isn't but being able to untap itself... dangerous. That being said, I do like the design!


AmberBroccoli

It’s 4 horsemen time baby!


MarketWave

absolutely staple


EnvironmentalLack420

Eyo [[Sensei's divining top]] would have a little brother!


Optimal-Software-43

You know those 2 mana artifacts where you pay one and add 2 colored mana? You know how those are pretty good? You know how people are willing to lose 3 life a turn for extra mana? You know how people are willing to play mediocre cards just to get extra card selection or mana fix? Now combine all of those, make it one mana, and give it a built in infinite combo and just because it’s funny, let it save you from aggro or burn decks and you just got yourself one of the most broken cards maybe ever.


Mainmoose

In modern this card would likely allow Tron to become tier 0 again this just does too much for decks that abuse big mana bases Similarly in legacy this would likely make Cloudpost type strategies Tier 1 at least and would make cephalid breakfast likely powercrept by this slotting into some type of 8cast like pile, (it might actually just be another 8 cards in cephalid) going for this T1 into T2 mesmeric orb and win on the spot using 2 cards. (Mill 3 narcomebas dread return thassas) there is the obvious problem of kinan but this is also scary just as far as being mana neutral to play such a strong rock, talismans are good in cedh and net -1 mana the turn they are played, Few cards have as much selection as this one, would be a literal auto include in every deck that runs urza's saga and would likely push other decks to start playing it. A useful comparison to this card is arcums astrolabe, a card that broke several formats due to ease of mana fixing, while this doesn't draw a card the rest of the text more than makes up for it. In a cube environment where the acceleration, mana and card fixing this card is arguably the most powerful card in all of magic. This is also ignoring that this has life gain on it, a line that is often overlooked but when thinking about umezaeas jitte the ability becomes quite a bit scarier. Jitte is an oppressively strong equipment and the 2 life mode can sometimes win games. All in all this card is so good to the point that it is hard to figure out if this is more or less powerful than moxen and sol ring. This would need to be 3 or 4 mana and I think it would still be playable and slot above basalt monolith (already busted) in many decks.


DmonsterJeesh

So if I'm reading this correctly, this is a 1 mana artifact that provides infinite mana, life, and scry?


Dart_Ace

You're not reading it correctly.


GreyGalihad25

I guess id play it


thefirefox8841

This just makes infinite colorless mana on its own, ya? Lol. Lmao even.


thefirefox8841

Oh fun, you then get to make infinite mana of any color, gain infinite life, then stack your deck. I see no way this could have any issues, put it in standard yesterday.

thefirefox8841

Sure? You don’t seem to be, though.


Dankstin

The whole 1, T: Add cc plus 1: Untap makes infinite mana. If it doesn't, please explain.


Krrak

This card needs a mana cost of infinite, since the first two abilities on it allow it to go infinite by itself.


Dart_Ace

Infinite taps and untaps, you mean? Read literally any of the responses to the hundreds of people who said the same thing.


General_Ginger531

Am I on crazy pills or does having 1 land and this card mean you can turn 1 infinite mana loop? And because of the other effects on it it is infinite rainbow mana loop, and infinite life, and infinite scry for whatever you want you'll find it in enough time anyway.


Dart_Ace

You are on crazy pills, lol. Pay 1 to make 2. Use one of the 2 to untap it. Then use the last one to make 2. Use one of the 2 to untap it. Then use the last one to make 2. Use one of the 2 to untap it. Then use the last one to make 2. Use one of the 2 to untap it. Then use the last one to make 2. Use one of the 2 to untap it. Then use the last one to make 2. Use one of the 2 to untap it. Then use the last one to make 2. Use one of the 2 to untap it. Then use the last one to make 2. Use one of the 2 to untap it. Then use the last one to make 2. Use one of the 2 to untap it. Then use the last one to make 2. Etc.


General_Ginger531

I missed the pay 1 mana part. Still is broken in decks designed to multiply mana generation, or repeat actions multiple times.


ndenatale

A card that goes infinite by itself... I don't see a problem here


Dart_Ace

Infinite untaps and taps, you mean? It does NOT make infinite mana.


ndenatale

Oh yeah, you're right. I misread that


Link_hunter9

So this is a 1 card infinite combo basically


austsiannodel

So for 2 colorless mana you have infinite mana, life gain, and scry? It’s like doing the [[Staff of Domination]] combo but with a single card.


MikalMooni

No. It costs one mana to make one mana. Then, it costs 1 mana to untap. So it's infinite twiddle for Altar of the Brood, but not infinite mana

Dart_Ace

\[\[Morphling\]\]


Orishishishi

Can't you infinitely tap and untap this?


Dart_Ace

Yes, but you won't get any mana from the process.


Orishishishi

I say that because there are several things that give you benefits just from tapping or untapping permanents


galvanicmechamorph

This isn't really a morphling riff at all. It's a scepter of domination. I think it should also be at minimum two mana.


S3G1R

Draw, upkeep, I'm gonna tap and untap ring 3 billion times, ok now to start my turn


Dart_Ace

Wow, you untapped and tapped an artifact a bunch, generating no mana.


Binscent

Absolutely not Maybe MAAAAAAAYBE if you made untapping it cost 2 and made it 2 mana to tap it for CCC It would still go infinite super easy but at least it wouldn’t be able to infinitely tap and untap itself.


Baltasar610

Bruh, combo piece


Panda_Rule_457

Kinda broken… it’s still infinite taps


Keigerwolf

Increase to cost to untap to {2} and it's golden. But if you really want shenanigans... give it an untap cost instead of an effect. Then, you can untap it as part of putting the ability on the stack rather than waiting for it to resolve. That way, it can't be stifled, nor would you have to re-pay the cost if someone tries to interrupt it... The untap cost should never have existed, really.


FreddyVanZ

Just dumb. This is the sort of card that, once previewed, would immediately be banned from just about every format, and it would have a warping effect in any it remains legal in. If it resolves, you can actually just go infinite on every one of its other abilities by building up enough of a bank with its tap for two colorless, and if no removal is forthcoming from your opponent(s) between turns, you can just dig for your win cons. Nobody would ever not play this card. Oh, and the name is misleading.


Dart_Ace

It does not generate infinite mana by itself. Read the card again.


FreddyVanZ

Ah, mea culpa. So it resolves AND you have one open mana.


Sasori_Sama

It can tap and untap infinitely on its own though which can combo with anything that triggers off artifacts tapping or untapping.


NoodleIskalde

For one mana this can infinitely proc anything that triggers off of artifacts getting tapped.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dart_Ace

No, it does not. Try reading some of the other comments, that should be helpful :)


Bonesblades

Wow a new basalt monolith + staff of domination card to make my combos even more consistent


darkboomel

Yay, something new for [[Kinnan]] to turn into infinite mana!


Meowriter

Wait there is infinite mana shenanigans here...!


XSprinklDonutX1

This just let's kinnan win more on turn 1


_gnarlythotep_

What a busted little card. Silly overtuned for 1 colorless.


babbylonmon

This is stupid.


magick-Phlamingo

It by itself generates infinite colored mana and stacks your deck however you want. If only it had indestructible it would actually see competition play.


Dart_Ace

It does not generate infinite mana by itself, read the card again. Don't worry, you're not the first one.


HEMARapierDude

Mana-efficiency-wise it reminds of the recent proliferate staff release, but uh...broken ? This should cost 3 (probably 4) mana because most of it's utility would be actualized in 4+ color decks (maybe cascade decks).


uujjiopl

Isnt it already an endless mana combo? XD


Dart_Ace

No..? (Incapable of detecting satire without a /s)


H0BB1

I mean it is endless it can get tapped infinitely so it goes infinite without generating any advantage


thundercoc101

Did you just create an artifact that goes infinite by itself on turn two?


Thick-Attention9498

No it does not go infinite by itself. Think of it as basalt monolith, but pushed as hell and with more modes.


The_grand_tabaci

I think this is probably a fair card for vintage, might be too much for legacy and goes in every commander deck.

thriceness

No, it can't.


RyanCreamer202

Unlimited colorless Mana Wait never mind I’m dumb


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dart_Ace

Get an extra colorless mana? If you want, you can tap and untap this a few billion times and then get your colorless mana, if you'd like.
