Heee. Yeah, perhaps a fortification is a slightly more sensible take on the Uniscape Bracers idea :)

It seems that a lot of these fortifications have a decidedly Aeran flavor, which I'm fine with... except that we want to be careful with that, since we wanted fortifications to be our theme.

Maybe in the story the black factions have invaded a number of Aeran locations?

Wow. I think this card requires the reminder text (The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain and Forest). I don't think that's ever been necessary on a common before.

Hmm... Terraformer and Elsewhere Flask didn't need that reminder text.

Fair enough. I suppose I shouldn't assume that beginning players are idiots. ;)

Looking at common Fortifications. CMeister2's card is up against CMeister2's card. I'm either adding this card or Exploration Outpost to the file to help smooth over mana bases. Anybody got a preference?

Oh, and I'm planning on dropping the fortify cost to . That should be more than enough for something that only smooths over your base, but doesn't accelerate your curve.

This could certainly come down to (1)/(1). It really works like Mana Cylix, which was kinda okay but certainly not exciting. Accordingly I prefer the other. But Mana Cylix was reprinted so I assume it's useful in decks that want it; and this would also be useful in black fortificationy decks.

Reduced!

Added to file. Also switched from 1/1 to 0/2, because it occurred to me that you can move the attachment around to make multiple colored mana. That seems pretty cool, but I don't think we want this to make the fortified land say

­: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.

Hmm. I accidently gave this the code of "CA)9" and now it appears I can't edit it. Alex?

Wow. Hahaha. Yes, I can see why that happened. Manually fixed it for the moment; I'll get the site fixed so that that doesn't happen again.
