The Nerd-o-meter

Hiya, kids! It's a handy-dandy chart that helps you check the acid test for how much of a nerd you are. Just grab your single most prized deck, and check at what level of nerdiness you are based on the state of its basic lands.

All the basic lands are:
1. Purposefully from the same set
2. Snow-covered, purely for show
3. Foreign language
4. Foil
5. Unglued/Unhinged
6. From Alpha     *
7. Euro/Eurasian lands
8. Foil Unhinged
9. Guru lands
10. Proxied on top of moxes
BONUS: Add two points if they are signed by the artist, Richard Garfield or Jesus.

*: By about this point, you're a bad person!

Dollar Menu Dynamite, Part 6

Another day, another dollar. Er, this is true if "day" is the shorthand way you refer to powerful and unusual cards that take your deck design to a whole new level. Wait, you don't? Huh. Regardless, I'm sure you know the drill by now - I've pulled together ten unusual, underplayed cards that have something to offer even a relatively competitive deck but cost one dollar at most. Think of your favourite builds, peruse the list as follows and keep an eye out for anything that might improve or at least spice up your games!
