Are you ready for the Fifth Dawn?

Not sure if Joiner Adept is the way to go in that deck; sure, you can tap your Urza/Cloudy stuff for colored mana, but only one colored mana rather than 2-3 colorless. I'd be more tempted if you used Vernal Bloom instead for the more mana; that way all your Forests would tap for G+whatever.

Also, why 4 Doors? They aren't really useful early, and with all your land thinning, you should be able to draw into one eventually. If you're worried about Shatters, put in Eternal Witnesses. If they blow up your Door, you can fetch it right back; and early game, the Witness can refetch a Reap & Sow to get more mana.

Who do I complain to about the fact that the contests are all "For Europe only"?

New Card:

[Mr. President]

Wayfarer's Bauble is cool. But why does it look like a sea urchin?

Where did you find that Wrath of Mods ?

[DinoDoc]

It was a joke card someone made. I thought people would like it here.

[Urban Ranger]

Wrath of Mods

[DinoDoc]

I thought that a Mod would get a kick out of that.

[Mr. President]

So, the Fifth Dawn is June 4, and the pre-release is over. Did anybody go? And did anybody who go form an impression?

(Don't forget to read the unqualified civilian designer's testimony.)

Edit: Is anybody else gonna confuse the names Raksha Golden Cub and Rashka the Slayer?

[Mr. President]

Impressions

Been looking at the card list (which for some reason only appears when I view Fifth Dawn, and not when I view the Quinto Amanecer version of the page ).

The artwork is simply incredible, and more of the cards are interesting than I initially thought would be. But I do get the impression that a higher proportion of them fall into the "narrow-use broken combo enabler" than I usually like to see.

[DinoDoc]

What does everyone think of this deck?

4 Urza's Tower
4 Urza's Power Plant
4 Urza's Mine
12 Forest
4 Steel Wall
4 Composite Golem
4 Darksteel Gargoyle
4 Bringer of the Green Dawn
4 Paradise Mantle
4 Channel the Suns
4 Pentad Prism
4 Clock of Omens
4 Door to Nothingness

[Urban Ranger]

I think it's a good time to stockpile on cards that changes mana colour, such as Celestial Dawn

[DinoDoc]

I have to get 2 Sunburst decks!

/me drools over Suncrusher

I could even make it better with older mana fixers like Harrow.

[Urban Ranger]

9 mana? You might as well go with the Colossus.

[Mr. President]

Think Green! Just get four Birds of Paradise. (Actually, don't, because if you did I'd have to come and kill you and take them.)

I'm actually more partial to Etched Oracle myself. Neat effect and brilliant artwork!
