Balance Thread

I haven't actually tested out MC yet, so I could be wrong about how this works but...

If I play two Financium Ores (cost gen ) and a Glowerite Ore (cost gen ), then the allying would kick in and they'd generate a total of 33:, entirely possible to turn 2? Or due to the color mix you could even get three down on the first turn to generate 6 mana? If so then hit them with nerfralagama₄ now!

But even if they don't, yeah, mixing them with normal gens would ridiculously accelerate the early game, I mean you could play three generators of a single color (including one basic gen) on turn one. Aside from it completely changing the game by making early turns much more deadly, it much further widen the gap between a good opening and a mana screw - rather than how it currently is where you can often recover from a mana screw at the beginning.

I'd recommend that they cost a minimum of X1Y1, before even considering the allying bonus generation (as they power other allying cards). With the bonus generation, I'd say X1Y1Z1 or X2Y1.

In fact, that 'limited' or 'restricted' (or whatever the CMC:GG term is) would also be nice, it could go on these gens (and other cards) just to stop you from easily hitting the allying threshold on turn 2 or 3.

The either/or ones costing one mana would probably be fine too with the into play penalties as they are. They'd probably want a corresponding sac reduction too.
