My Dual-Lands: Cycle 2

Here's another concept I have. These aren't perfect, but you'll get the idea.

Bitchin UW Land

Legendary Land

As ~ comes into play if there isn't a plains or island card in your sideboard, sacrifice ~.

~ comes into play tapped.

When ~ comes into play you gain 2 life and target permanent doesn't untap during its controllers next untap phase.

Tap: Add U or W to your mana pool.

Bitchin' GR Land

Legendary Land

As ~ comes into play if there isn't a Forest or Mountain card in your sideboard, sacrifice ~.

~ comes into play tapped.

Creatures you control have Bloodthirst 1

Tap: Add G or R to your mana pool.

Bitchin' UB Land

Legendary Land

As ~ comes into play if there isn't an Island or Swamp card in your sideboard, sacrifice ~.

~ comes into play tapped.

When ~ comes into play Fateseal 1 and Scry 1.

Tap: Add U or B to your mana pool.

So as you can see, there's a lot going on here. You use your sideboard as a resource, but get a nice effect. Its legendary, but late game you can play multiples just for their effect. The effects could be anything really this is just what I first thought of. I'm not really sure how good an effect you should get for using your sideboard as a resource. However, I as a rule I don't think they should provide card advantage and CIP need to be relatively weak, since they can be comboed with cards like bouncelands.(And obv you get an effect from both colors, or somethign that represents both colors)

Edit: Weakened.

The UW one isnt that broken, but the GR and and UB ones are both busted in half.

I think only the r/g one is realy realy good, though the u/b one is also great. The problem is that they already used backdraws to make duals worse... And then you add an useful ability to it Wink

that seems a bit too mutch. How about this idea.

Name

Land Dual(just a random land subtype)

When whatever you want would comes into play return a non Dual land to your hand, if you dont Name doesnt come into play.

T: Add x or y to your pool.

When name comes into play/is in play, do something good.

I think that would be better thatway you have an huge drawback by setting you back one turn or need to mull with 2 on hand. (i worded it would come+ non dual(just a random land subtype) to stop going wild with their cip effects.

If you do it like this they could work as posted above, but the r/g one is still powerful. I think i would do it like, cip 1 damage to target player.

using your sideboard like this, that's pretty clever. This gives me an idea for a card... a land card that can produce the color of any land you have in your sideboard.
