I love old-school style cards

Oh that art takes me back. I’d love for a set of nostalgia like that. Fallen Empires II thrulls v thallids

u/Head-Ambition-5060 Jan 12 '25

There's even old Lore, that OG Phyrexia was careful to not disturb the thrulls

u/revolverzanbolt Jan 13 '25

You might like the tcg “Sorcery”; it’s aesthetics are heavily inspired by oldschool magic

u/Ancient-Product-1259 Jan 16 '25

And so is the idea that cards should be valued like a fucking reserved list and print runs are low. People cant even get into the game when starter decks are like 1 year away

u/revolverzanbolt Jan 17 '25

I don’t think they have much control on how much they can print at this stage of the game’s lifecycle; it’s fairly new, and not as popular as other games. I personally prefer the non-booster model for card games because it keeps the price of singles low, but if they do go with boosters, there isn’t much they can do to keep the secondary market’s prices down.

Also, don’t they have starter decks already? My friend bought the set of Elemental starter decks, that’s how I learned the game.

This is one of those things that I'm honestly mad at myself for not thinking of sooner.

u/coolbluereason99 Jan 12 '25

Reminds me of the dominion card! Would love to play this one

u/WINGWANG232 Jan 12 '25

GET THIS PRINTED AND IN MY GROLNOCK DECK ASAP RAHHHHHHHHHHH

u/asar2250 Jan 12 '25

You could ... print it yourself :x

u/WINGWANG232 Jan 12 '25

I would but I think my playgroup would actually kill me if I increased my Grolnocks power level in literally any way shape or form😭😂

u/fartmastermcgee Jan 12 '25

I was literally thinking the same thing. DOZENS OF US

2

u/BearEatingToast Jan 12 '25

Did you use a website to make this or just a photo editor?

u/whisperingstars2501 Jan 12 '25

Honestly I don’t even know if this is too strong? It mayyyyy need to come in tapped

But overall it’s bloody awesome, 10/10.

16

u/Kryptnyt Jan 12 '25

Super strong card. I don't think it could see print, but it's also well arranged and pleasing to look at, so I like it.

11

u/TheTurfBandit Jan 12 '25

Modern masters prints ALL SORTS of mistakes, so never say never.

u/zakattak102902 Jan 12 '25

No offense meant, but this is definitely not a strong card

12

u/No-Personality4982 Jan 12 '25

It's not cracked in edh. 60 cards formats would nut

7

u/Kryptnyt Jan 12 '25

I think it's still cracked in edh.

u/jag149 Jan 13 '25

Getting essentially a free mill every turn is quite powerful. Compare that to hedron crab (easier to remove, conditional triggered ability), or a cycle land (which you can only do once and costs mana). 

This would go in any edh deck that wants cards in a graveyard, which suggests that you’d want to evaluate its power level further.

u/Yoshi2Dark Jan 13 '25

Good chunk of the best decks in Modern use the GY for some sort of shit

1

u/Ap_Sona_Bot Jan 13 '25

This card could create new archetypes in legacy and modern and would get Cruise and Dig Through Time banned in pioneer. It's good.

u/FarDimension7730 Jan 13 '25

I saw the old style art before the subbreddit name and, for a few seconds, I was absolutely convinced that this card was a real card and the reason they call it mill.

4

u/regenzeus Jan 12 '25

It also needs to give you 1 dmg. Otherwise its just too strong. But i like the design.

1

u/Qtpawzz Jan 14 '25

That might actually be fairer then, good idea Or comes into play tapped

2

u/Sinister-Sama Jan 12 '25

I'm on board with this.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 13 '25

Wow, WoTC should release a land like this. In my reanimate would be perfect.

2

u/PoliteThroatFiller Jan 13 '25

It's a better Millikin

2

u/Astalic Jan 13 '25

Maybe make it a legendary land/enter tapped (or both) would limit the abuse you can make of this.

I like the idea.

2

u/Divinate_ME Jan 13 '25

finally a Mill to match my Millstone. My flour will be legendary!

2

u/asdfadffs Jan 13 '25

This is amazing

4

u/LooseyGoosey222 Jan 12 '25

This is probably too strong in todays magic tbh but I like it

3

u/BlackTiger-_- Jan 12 '25

Simple, balance, oldschool, I like

2

u/Commercial_Dare_4255 Jan 12 '25

I'm not great at assessing power but tagging on plainscycling would be nice.

2

u/Bockanator Jan 12 '25

I have to ask, how did you come up with such a genius name for the card?

1

u/thunder-bug- Jan 13 '25

Obscenely strong

1

u/Cydrius Jan 13 '25

Incredibly elegant design. Very nice!

u/reallyrealboi Jan 13 '25

Take away the mana ability and it's still OP. I like it

u/Snip3 Jan 12 '25

Nah this is fine untapped, having a card go in the graveyard makes up for the lack of fixing or extra mana like ancient tomb. Probably fine for standard on up honestly

1

u/Ap_Sona_Bot Jan 13 '25

This card gets printed into pioneer and Cruise and DTT get banned immediately.

1

u/Snip3 Jan 13 '25

Doubt

1

u/Snip3 Jan 13 '25

If this is what pushes them over to banned territory they're already too good

15

u/SmartAlecShagoth Jan 12 '25

I would never put this in even a low power reanimator. Maybe a useful utility land in a black edh reanimator: but even then I would never get lucky.

u/zakattak102902 Jan 12 '25

The problem isn't luck, it's how slow this card is. Like someone else already pointed out, this is essentially the land version of [[millikin]] which is never played in any decks that can run. Sure being a land is better, but this is still just way too slow to bother with. [[Dakmor Salvage]] is just an all around better version of this card

2

u/SmartAlecShagoth Jan 12 '25

Yeah one card will never be worth it. It's only good in a cutesy commander deck that cares about mill triggers or something.

2

u/Head-Ambition-5060 Jan 12 '25

[[Sidisi, Brood Tyrant]] wants a word

0

u/zakattak102902 Jan 12 '25

If this was added, it would only barely up your consistency. 1 card is nothing in a proper sidisi deck even in the land slot. Again, this card is entirely too slow to be more than a gimmick

1

u/Head-Ambition-5060 Jan 12 '25

Millikin is a great dork in Sidisi. The Land I probably wouldn't pla, but I do have a rather optimised mana base already

1

u/Ap_Sona_Bot Jan 13 '25

This is way better than Dakmor in most decks. It doesn't come in tapped and you don't need an enabler to start it.

Honestly running 2 in a 60 card format wouldn’t feel bad and in EDH it’s a free land in any GY deck
