But why would you run this when you could just run a talisman or signet instead? Its 3 mana to tutor and then the cmc of the tutored card... all in all far too slow. Its onyl good to tutor very specific cards like you showed but most of those cards just arent worth tutoring.

This game has been powercrept into a husk of itself

Nope, the card works as written. You don't need if you do. Because, like with basic programming, the X is only a number equal to energy spent. You're welcome.

I can't believe this discussion is even around. The whole "pay X" is in the brackets of "may", meaning declaring X and paying X is part of this condition, it's not a choice between either

IMO there are not 3 missing words, there is one word to much. If they simply remove the "may" from the you may pay X", then I think the card should work just fine?

in the end the rules around lying have to be specific to be robust, but they're kind of... exactly what you'd expect. dude was just salty he got got.

Did it get programmed correctly on Arena and MTGO?

Sevinny 😭

this just will not see play in legacy (which you mentioned). this costs 1 more mana than hexmage, and is not a land (like thespian's stage), which are the two things it competes with. furthermore, the mana cheating clause is near useless unless you're putting uncastable cards in your deck like ulamog or whatever garbage doesnt work without this card, where youre unnecessarily adding a c to your a +b combo.

It would’ve been hilarious if it was a 0 mana artifact

This is why Stifle is cheap.

I tought somebody checked the cards before printing

My ugin is gonna be a happy boy

This is just obviously people being ridiculous.

uh as written if you don't pay x energy you draw zero cards because x is zero no where does it say you can just draw as many cards as you want

he didnt mention the most busted combo. ulalek can clone copies made by echoes of eternity. so as long as you have colorless mana to spend. you can get a horde out. you can also clone echoes of eternity. i once got 40 eldrazi ravagers on teh board

Black lotus into channel. Bring the aeons torn out on turn 1. You can't afford it, too bad.

Vexing Bauble shuts down Moxes, petals, free counterspells, Evoke elementals, ... Good list, but CVexing Bauble should be at nr1.

people have to learn to put inside the decks spot removal.

The soyface on Matt Tabak's profile picture is insane

Definitely not broken. This is a 3 card combo that requires 2 of the 3 pieces to be dark depths (a land that taps for 0 mana) and this guy who sucks without depths, and the third card being something 8 cmc+ you couldn't cast without the combo. It's way easier to just run Cloudpost...

Hell! Yeah I'm doing this

Nope.
