Artifact mana acceleration options in Legacy

Legacy forum

Posted on Jan. 26, 2013, 8:01 a.m. by Apoptosis

What are the viable options for artifacts that provide mana in legacy? For sake of discussion let's forget about color. I know Sol Ring , Mox Pearl , Mox Jet , Mox Sapphire , Mox Ruby , Mox Emerald , and Black Lotus are all out...

I have 2x Mox Diamond

are there 1 drop artifacts that generate mana?

Specifically it's for this deck Poking your doll, which currently has 2xMox Diamond and 2x Darksteel Ingot , but I feel like I can do better than the ingots.

I know there are the diamonds from Mirage (e.g. Sky Diamond ), Sol Grail from alliances, etc. but the new Prophetic Prism in Gatecrash beats both of these easily. So what else is out there that's worth thinking about? Mox Opal ???

Thanks!

Oh wow, I didn't realize that Lotus Petal and card:Lion's Eye Diamond were not banned, I had assumed that every card on the Vintage restricted list was banned in Legacy. They might not fit in the particular deck I'm building atm but I do have some to work with in other legacy decks. Great to know.

Looks like it's time to bite the bullet and find 2x Mox Diamond on eBay. Thanks everyone!

Sidneyious I don't know whether it will work or not, but am playing with the idea to see whether it's possible. The current version of this deck is here: Poking your doll v2

Grim Monolith, Ancient Tomb, and metal worker are all legal in legacy if you're looking for more fast mana.

You may not realize that Prophetic Prism does not ramp, its mana ability costs 1 to activate.

Most of the best ramp has been mentioned already, but Chromatic Lantern is a decent Darksteel Ingot alternative.
