This is just for keeping record of all cards with a mana cost not seen on any other card. I have been compiling and updating it for a long time by hand, so there is room for error but I think it is presently completely accurate. If you see anything that looks like an error, please let me know.

Here is a link to a more visually pleasing presentation of the cards, with statistics on distribution of colors/CMCs.

I have chosen to sort them here into 3 categories, and within each category they are sorted first by increasing mana cost, with generic mana being considered a lighter cost than other types and {x} ignored. In the case of split cards, I am considering each half to have its own mana cost and ignoring the combined cost, even if it has Fuse.






Scars of Mirrodin Update: Only change over the last two sets is that Genesis Wave meant Chord of Calling no longer makes the list.

Mirrodin Besieged Update: Same total number of cards as before. It that Betrays came off the list as it now shares with Blightsteel Colossus, and White Sun's Zenith took its place.

Commander+New Phyrexia Update: 16 new cards to add to the list from Phyrexian mana alone. I've grouped them with hybrid mana for the purpose of this thread. Geosurge removed Elemental Appeal from the list of monocolor. Surprisingly, Commander actually took off almost as many cards as it added. Guided Passage, Fervent Charge, Fungal Shambler, Lightning Angel all got removed thanks to new legendary wedge creatures. The only new addition in the form of "real" monocolor this update is Dread Cacodemon. With all the black fatties and mega-sorceries ever printed, I'm a little surprised there wasn't already one at this cost, but that's why I keep running the thread.

M12+Innistrad+Dark Ascension Update: The only change is the new addition of Archangel's Light. Maelstrom Wanderer has been spoiled at this point, but I'll wait to add it to the list until it's playable.

Avacyn Restored+Planechase 2012 Update: -Reiver Demon, -Phytohydra, -Firestorm Hellkite, +Bruna, Light of Alabaster, +Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, +Maelstrom Wanderer, +Krond the Dawn-Clad, +Primal Surge, +Entreat the Angels

M13 Update: Diabolic Revelation added and that's it. I almost feel like I ought to have waited because the Return to Ravnica spoilers reveal huge updates to come.

Return to Ravnica Update: 1 new monocolored added, 4 new multicolor added, 1 new hybrid added. The biggest change this time around was all the cards taken off (7 multicolor and 8 hybrid). I'll list them here for record: -Enchanted Evening, -Torsten Von Ursus, -Double Negative, -Fulminator Mage, -Odious Trow, -Cloven Casting, -Izzet Guildmage, -Sapling of Colfenor, -Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, -Zealous Guardian, -Rakdos Guildmage, -Kaervek's Purge, -Morbid Bloom, -Azorius Ploy, -Augury Adept

You forgot Invoke Prejudice.

What is the point of this thread?

To get people to help me when I miss cards, like Invoke Prejudice (Fraternal Exaltation doesn't count).

You forgot (or, I guess, ignored) B.F.M. and Gleemax.
And Mox Lotus nixes Emrakul, (unless you're still ignoring them).

What sets are you calculating? Just vintage legal sets? (so, no Un- sets or special promo's?)

'cause if that's it, I have a database of such cards, and should be able to run a query or two to find a definite list for you.

Yes, Vintage-legal, and please do. Compiling this by hand leaves a lot of room for error.

Okay, here's what I found:

You have listed Vitalizing Cascade - but Supply (Supply/Demand) has the same casting cost (XGW).

As far as I can tell, you are missing:

Absorb => WUU
Bringer of the Red Dawn => 7RR
Chorus of the Conclave => 4WWGG
Jerrard of the Closed Fist => 3RGG
Novablast Wurm => 3GGWW
Punish Ignorance => WUUB
Reiver Demon => 4BBBB
Voidslime => UUG

Hope that helps ^_^

Ends up with a total of 232 cards with unique casting costs. I wonder what kind of EDH deck you could make with this as a restriction ^_^

Zodiac Dragon



Gabriel Angelfire, Lady Caleria

Ok. Zodiac Dragon: Apparently my database doesn't have portal cards in it (unless they have been reprinted). I should work on that.

As for missing the others ... weird.

I see -- Gabriel Angelfire and Lady Caleria have (on their physical cards) a different mana cost .. the G and W mana symbols are in a different order than on Novablast Wurm. And the database put it in as it is written.

Yeah, I had the same problem with Soltari Guerrillas originally.

Nice.

Bump for MBS update.

Bump for NPH and Commander update.

This thread is still neat.
