Fun with storm: Dark Ritual into three more Dark Rituals into Skeletal Scrying into Yawgmoth's Will...
Yeah, this is a bit crazy with rituals. I'd suggest "a lower CMC" rather than "the same CMC or less".
Made it less than, but am still unsure to the wording. Any help here?
Just like you've got here except "a card with a lower CMC than that spell" or "a card with CMC less than that spell's".
Is it worthy of mythic?
Let's compare to Maelstrom Nexus:
+it can trigger more than once a turn
+it always gets the card you want it to get
+it can fetch lands (and nonbasic ones at that) if you really need it to
+three and a half paints cheaper
-it only triggers on instants or sorceries
-the card only goes into your hand, instead of being played for free (which completely nerfs going for Hypergenesis, too)
The last one is the big one. You can still do something like Channel the Suns -> Seething Song -> Cabal Ritual -> Dark Ritual and turn 4 mana into 12, and Nourishing Shoal + big blank card is still a roundabout tutor, but it really doesn't seem that flashy anymore.
Is that a yes? Lol.
You make some excellent points, either way.
