Playing with balance here a bit - but white likes things to build up, doesn't like land destruction so much - and Stream of Life is venerable but unused.

I'm not sure if it's over or under costed, so it's probably about right.

on 28 Oct 2011 by Alex:

Costing looks okay. Unfortunately it's far too wordy, and when properly templated would be even more wordy because "Landfall" doesn't actually mean anything.

on 28 Oct 2011 by Vitenka:

Grumble. Can it be done? I really quite like this semi-cycle.

on 28 Oct 2011 by Alex:

How about:

> Diverted Irrigation, {x}{w}
Enchantment
~ ETBs with X charge counters on it.
­{1}{w}, Sacrifice ~: Target player gains life equal to the number of charge counters on ~ plus the number of lands you control.

Although that double-counts your lands... so as an alternative:

> Diverted Irrigation, {1}{w}
Enchantment
Sacrifice ~: Choose one - target player gains X life, or prevent the next X damage that would be dealt to target creature or player this turn. X is the number of lands you control.

on 28 Oct 2011 by Vitenka:

Oh, I was wanting to count opponents lands entering too.

on 28 Oct 2011 by Alex:

Oh. That's not landfall then. (Khalni Heart Expedition would be far better if it worked like that.)

on 28 Oct 2011 by Vitenka:

Yeah, true. This is a card I really should have put my thoughts on, rather than going straight for wording.

made shorter and workier, I hope.

on 31 Oct 2011 by Alex:

Yay, that's much nicer.

on 16 Nov 2011 by Vitenka:

This card worked pretty much as intended.

on 16 Nov 2011 by Alex:

Remove the word Aura!

Otherwise, yes.
