Cards and mechanics from your reports

September 30, 2026

New mechanics

• Adventures, split cards and Rooms use both halves. An adventurer is cast as its adventure first, then later as the creature from exile (Fertile Footsteps, then Beanstalk Giant). A split card is cast as whichever half you can pay for, so Ice gets cast when there's no red for Fire. A Room's second door is unlocked on a later turn.
• Explore: a land on top goes to your hand, and a spell stays on top only if you can cast it soon. With Captain Janeway out, every creature explores.
• Landfall payoffs that make mana, Treasure or cards trigger per land: Lotus Cobra, Tireless Provisioner, Omnath, Locus of Creation, Tatyova. A fetch land counts as two landfalls. Landfall tokens and damage aren't counted, since there are no opponents.
• Lands back from the graveyard: Life from the Loam, Cartographer, Wrenn and Six's +1. A spell that only returns lands waits until there's one to return.
• Prosper, Tome-Bound: the card he exiles can be played on your next turn, and each card played from exile makes a Treasure. Count on Luck and Outpost Siege exile a card the same way.
• Burgeoning, Prismatic Geoscope (domain), Growing Rites of Itlimoc and similar cards that flip into lands, and Exploration Broodship's station, using each creature's printed power.
• “Look at the top cards, put one into your hand” counts as drawing a card (Sea Gate Oracle, Impulse). Looting draws, then discards your least useful cards (Faithless Looting).
• Spree costs include the cheapest mode, so Three Steps Ahead costs {2}{U}.

Fixes

• Only instants and sorceries are held back as interaction. Mother of Runes, Giver of Runes, Reconnaissance and Dauthi Cutthroat are cast like anything else.
• Faeburrow Elder makes two mana. Zell Dincht no longer counts as an extra land drop. Nykthos, Three Tree City and Baldur's Gate make colorless. Urza's Cave and the Panoramas enter untapped. The Warring Triad is a mana rock.
• Color-swap suggestions keep at least one basic of each type, swap one for one when you only have two, and no longer recommend a swap that hurts another number.
• The report button copies the game report and gives you an email link, instead of trying to open a mail app.

Deck links and a smarter goldfish

September 28–29, 2026

• Deck links: paste a public or unlisted Moxfield or Archidekt link instead of the list.
• Faster runs: games are played in the background on all of your device's cores, so the page stays responsive.
• Land order plans ahead for the turn your commander can come down, so a tapped land goes down on the turn it costs nothing.
• Commanders and cards that change your mana: Kinnan, Birgi, Urza, Glóin, Chulane, Vivi and other mana or Treasure makers, plus mana that only pays for some spells (Somberwald Sage, Ancient Ziggurat).
• Looks wrong? Report it: any sample game can be sent in exactly as it played, so a bad play can be fixed.
