I fucking hate this card. Lost every game I've ever drawn it in. Lost every game I've played it optimally. I just won't ever give it another consideration outside of complete colorless
Yeah a niche card for decks that primarily ramps by getting more lands into play. What’s the name of the ability it goes with?…. Oh landfall. Yeah it’s pretty great in your landfall decks. You can create infinite mana loops with artifacts as well with it. I hate takes like this. Be objective and direct with what it does well and the reason it’s not generally good. I implore everyone to really dig into cards to make things work. Best people with your $20 jank deck and laugh 😂
Great in lands matter decks. I still run it as a secondary Ancient Tomb with my Crop Rotation and (newly added) Archdruid Charm. Even have Yavimaya as backup so it can tap for mana. I love it.
Ever since I heard Nitpicking Nerds first explanation on Temple i have no joke, every day since then, destroyed every copy that’s unlucky enough to come in to my collection
I hate when people make this stupid argument. There is nothing wrong with this card. Temple of the false gods is fine in a colorless or mono colored deck, but most people arent going to try to run this in a deck that runs any ultimatums. Yes its bad in your opener, but its a dine draw at any point in the game after. Dont let NPN tell you how tonplay the game. They are probably bad at it anyway.
I use it to decent effect in Gishath. I try to ramp early consistently so I should have enough lands quickly, and I need all the help I can get to reach 8 mana asap.
The odds of this being in your opening hand is so low. None of these argument’s made me want to replace this land. I only need 4 lands in play for this to work. That’s easy as fuck. And it gives me 2 colorless. Sol ring is busted but this is trash? Makes absolutely zero sense
The same people who complain about temple of the false gods are the same people who will turn 1 mana crypt then sol ring, arcane signet and play a land and maybe some other things. Plus its good for paying taxes.
I dont wanna say that TotFG is an auto-include, but I honestly believe that it is very much deserving of a spot in many decks. Just having the extra mana on a card where you would normally need to include another land is quite cool for some decks. you need to have the lands ofc, but when this cards sits around a lot because you dont have enough lands in play, then the land total is the problem, not TotFG. And the best part about it is, its cheap. Casual EDH players dont want to spend 200 Bucks on a mana crypt or 30-50 Bucks for nykthos or field of the dead.
Temple of the false god: $0.06 Ancient Tomb: $88.84 ($25.08 for gold border) Yes, it isn't as good as some other lands, but budgets exist for most people
Look up the frank Karsten math article in TOFG. Its a good card, people just play it in the wrong decks. A lot of decks that play it should maybe consider chrystal vein instead, and some could consider both
Ok, but what scenario do you get to fetch for a land and think "oh damn! I've got nothing to fetch for"
Like, pretty sure, the majority of players aren't THAT deep into the EDH, that they have the budget to have consistently awesome fetchable lands anyway
Y'all may have cool fetchable lands in every deck since it's your job/main hobby
But most players rarely fetch for something else than basics / only have bawler lands in a few of all their decks
Hard disagree. I cut pretty much all alternatives listed here because they are too expensive to purchase. Sure, there are better options out there – but not at this price point! If I'm bringing a slow deck, this goes in.
"If you're playing Mana Crypt" Oh I am very much not. Temple isn't competing against that. It's competing against Mind Stone and Myriad Landscape.
I'd rather keep temple of the false God then lose a possibility of three life every turn

Like prerty much every card its only good in specific niches

🥱 whenever anyone says temple isn’t good. I know they’re just talking just to talk
I will not play it. I have precons that are "pure" precons with the one caveat that I put in a basic in place of the TotFG. This is real.

This card is good. Ignore her.
Honestly , it never cease to amaze me the opinions of this channel. 😂
This means I'm putting it in every deck now
If that extra mana is important, Crystal Vein is a good substitute I recently learned about.
But I don't have Ancient Tomb so I use Temple of False God.
The same people who complain about temple of the false gods are the same people who will turn 1 mana crypt then sol ring, arcane signet and play a land and maybe some other things. Plus its good for paying taxes.
"Mana crypt” XD

Love it
Temple of the false god: $0.06
Ancient Tomb: $88.84 ($25.08 for gold border)
Yes, it isn't as good as some other lands, but budgets exist for most people
To me this video lost credibility the moment she mentioned Mana crypt
I've started ripping them in half when I come across them in my collection lol

This is the kind of card that will only be as good as the deck builder.
