Hello all.

I was goldfishing my Kuja deck and I used [[Improvisation Capstone]] revealing [[Lindblum, Industrial Regency]] and [[Return the Favor]]. I had a few questions about this specific set of reveals for Capstone.

1. For Lindblum, can I choose to cast its adventure spell ( Mage Siege) without paying its mana cost? Or not because it’s a land?
2. If so, does that count as a 0 cost spell or a 3 cost spell for Capstone’s 4 mana value check?
3. For Return the Favor, can I use the additional spree cost to copy a spell, or does this work like X spells?
4. If I can cast spree spells, will that count just the mana value in the corner, or the mana value in the corner + spree cost for Capstone’s 4 mana value check?
5. If I reveal a copy spell off of Capstone, can I target the Capstone with the copy ability to make an additional copy of Capstone to use?

I‘m not super familiar with the subreddit, so I’ll try to do the links thing, but if I can’t, I’ll post pictures for card text.

Any help is appreciated!

Clarification on the title:

Oftentimes on this subreddit, you’ll see an interaction of Poster A states something like, “The game would be better if all the Handtraps were banned,” and Poster B will rebuttal with, “That will just make turn 1 combos too powerful.” You can substitute HTs for anything that you think is making Yugioh worse.

With all the access to free simulators, online communication like discord, and a sizable community that shares these sentiments (at least according to this subreddit), I wanted to see if anyone has tried making one of these “No X“ formats and ask about their story. I want to know if it worked out how they wanted it to.

If anyone’s willing to share, a few specific questions I have would be the following:

1. What did you change about the format?

2. How many people were involved in your customs format?

3. Did the format’s rules change after the initial inception?

4. How long did your custom format last? (Was it just something fun for an evening, or was it played for a while?)

5. What decks did you end up playing in this custom format?

6. Was the format as good/healthy as you wanted it to be?

7. Did you or someone in your group try to “break” the format?

Also, just to try and get ahead of a few things, please do not talk about a format where you removed or added 1 or 2 cards. I’m trying to look at broad strokes changes. Additionally, I know it’s tempting to just not tell your story if you made a format and it wasn’t as good as you wanted it to be. Please be open to talking about your custom formats, even if they didn't turn out how you wanted.

Any responses are appreciated.
