I am the loving type of person. So I always {donate} stuff to other people. I just wanted people to make sure they have their minerals after the {Armageddon}. >:D

I lol'd so hard at this!!
It's a build around me card. Basically use mana ramp or other ways to cheat lands into play until you have all the lands you need. Then drop this and start drawing gas...
Guess what Markus Persson is famous for...
{Walking Atlas} and other similar abilities that let you put lands out.
It's in my Zedruu deck. How I see it playable beyond that is in one of those really long game running UWR decks where you drop it, sac a couple lands, then blow it up

Now trading {Aggressive Mining}x2...
Sorry, I already have my foil playset
I feel like this card is this set's version of {Satyr firedrinker}
Edit: wrong satyr. He's sweet.
But I think everyone knows who I'm talking about. I can't think of the name.

Does not work. Once {Aggressive Mining} is on the field, you cannot play lands via any means, including spells and abilities.
Unless I'm wrong... which i may be lol
It's super good! In red, you do t even need four lands! Get to about five or six lands, drop {aggressive mining}, sac three lands to draw six 1 drops, smash face!

Playing is putting it from your hand onto the battlefield as the rules say you can. Atlas is putting them into play, not playing them. It works.
{Aggressive Mining} says you cannot /play/ lands. {Walking Atlas} does not have the word /play/ on it therefore {Aggressive Mining}'s restriction doesn't care.
You can't /play/ more than one land a turn. {Walking Atlas} does not say /play/ so the restriction of one land per turn doesn't care about tapping {Walking Atlas} to put out an extra land.
However {Kiora, the Crashing Wave}'s second ability says play an additional land. {Aggressive Mining} says you can't play lands, so it'd cancel the extra land drop from Kiora.
The original purpose of {Walking Atlas} was to let you put out more than one land per turn. If it cared about playing lands then it'd be redundant as you'd be tapping a creature to do something you weren't allowed to do, or could do tap free anyways.
