DOTP 2013 land count bypass?

[kevlahnota]

I managed to make a deck that contains no basic land but the problem is with the deck manager. I have no problems with the deck but only the display in the deck manager.

screen:



does anyone know other way to bypass land count?

Did you try to write something like

Code: Select all

  <LandConfig minPlains="-60" minSwamp="-60" minMountain="-60" minIsland="-60" minForest="-60" />

inside the deck XML? I really don't know what will happen (maybe nothing), but when I made the undying green deck in DotP2012, I brought the islands to 0 even with Simic Guildmage in the deck, thanks to minIsland="-1".

It didn't work for me..

Is someone able to create a deck without basic land?
I tried TheFiremind's advice but it does not work. The game add about 45 lands.

I don't know if it will help with what the game engine is doing, but adding ignoreCmcOver="0" to your landconfig will tell the game to ignore the mana costs of all the cards in your deck. By itself that just means you end up with an equal spread of basic lands, but maybe in combination with what you're doing it will work. Who knows?

I've created a deck without basic land (and I'm not the only one, if I remember correctly both kevlahnota and thefiremind have been able to create decks without basic land as well). You simply need to create a deck with 60 cards in it (you can either make a landless deck or simply specify the non-basic lands in those 60 cards) and the game will usually not add any lands as your deck will already have "enough" cards (the game auto-adds basic land to get the deck size up to 60 cards.
