Mana System Unchanged

the main complaint I hear about magic's game design is mana screw/flood. what if you could play a card facedown as a basic land that's types correlates to it’s color, if it’s 3 or more types it would entered tapped, every turn you make a chrome mox esque choice that adds depth to gameplay, and you could still play lands so players could transition at their own time but they would gradually transition to swapping them out for optimal gameplay.

I have friends who have designed other trading card games. Heck, I’ve designed other trading card games. Everyone who tried to fix the mana system (again, myself included) has come to the realization how important the mana system is. It’s not a flaw in the system, it’s one of the three genius ideas Richard Garfield created when he designed Magic (what I call the Golden Trifecta). I have a whole podcast in the topic.

Imprint Mechanic Query

how would it affect an imprint card if the card that it exiled was returned from exile? for example, I cast chrome mox, and then someone else uses an eldrazi processor to put the exiled card into my graveyard

Double check with a judge but I’m pretty sure imprint stops working without an imprinted card.
