ancient tomb has wheeled before. what is an ancient tomb with variance getting you?
crypt is closer to mishras workshop than ancient tomb

it gives you three mana turn 1 not 2
it is banned in legacy
it is not a valid comparison

with that said i see why youd want ring not crypt, im just surprised it hasnt gotten a mention, that card is the nut in more than just edh
banned status in legacy
has stone nothing to do with cube. yawgmoth's will isn't a card in the wizard's cube and that card is banned in legacy and restricted in vintage.

you take 1.5 damage a turn every turn (on average) versus 2 damage only when you need to.

this is not EDH/vintage where i storm kill you turn 1 (unless i misread the current list and most of the storm kill cards are all still in). this is also not EDH where random 3 damage is incredibly relevant.

i'm not saying it is a bad card, i'm saying there are many reasons i would not take this card and that it is not as good as you are playing it up to be for your own reasons and other "not valid" reasons.
i mean im pretty sure it is a moot argument because we are both smart enough to realize the obvious pick is a call.
there are enough times where crypt has outshined sol ring for me that i was just expecting it to get recognition. /shrug

that 1 mana gets relevant enough imo. i guess i dont prefer crypt to ring, im more just surprised that ring was being mentioned a lot but not crypt

also it is 1.5 damage a turn learn2expectedvalue :)
