Picked for what they do in D'Vana Tendi's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit D'Vana Tendi's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three. Wizards renamed this from "converted mana cost" in 2021, so older cards and articles may still use the old name.Open the full glossary
Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryUGPlayers write colors as letters: U for blue, G for green. Blue is U because B was already taken by black.ComboCombo decks hunt for a few specific cards that win the game on the spot once they are all together. Many repeat an action over and over without end, which players call an infinite combo; the rest of the deck searches for the pieces and protects them.Open the Combo pageGame ChangerCards that warp the game disproportionately around themselves, requiring immediate answers.What the brackets meanCard SelectionImproves what you draw rather than how much: you look at the top few cards of your library and decide what stays on top. Ponder lets you rearrange the top three, Serum Visions lets you scry, and Consider lets you surveil. It makes your draws more reliable without giving you extra cards.Open the Card Selection pageMana SinkGives you somewhere useful to spend spare mana, usually through an ability you can activate again and again. Rogue's Passage, Mind StoneOpen the Mana Sink pageLibrary ManipulationCards that let you look at, rearrange or play from the top of your deck, so you control what you draw next.Open the Library Manipulation pageUntapperUntaps permanents. Untapping a land or a mana-producing artifact effectively lets you spend that mana twice in a turn, which is why untap effects turn up in so many infinite combos. Seedborn MuseOpen the Untapper pageTap / Untap LoopsCards that untap your permanents, so a creature or land can be used twice in one turn. Some untap effects create endless loops that win the game.Open the Tap / Untap Loops page
