Well, this one is simple enough, but it probably belongs in the uncommon slot as well. That effect probably shouldn't be encouraged in a draft. I wasn't sure if I should even bother to give this one a fortify cost... it's so unlikely you would ever want to fortify this to your own land... Is Fortify necessary?
Just about conceivably you might want to use this, in cases like Mammoth Support Beams. But I think it's fine to make people work for this. I also agree this sadly shouldn't be common.
What about the more-universal effect of "Fortified land has "At the beginning of the end step, this land deals 1 damage to you.""
Oh, yes Dude, that's much better. Switched.
Also, yes, Mammoth Support Beams is reason enough to give this a Fortify cost. Someone is bound to complain if we didn't. Added absurd Fortify cost, so that people don't accidently do it, then read the card.
Also, I've been thinking about this card, and realized that maybe it is a common. It isn't really better than Onyx Goblet after all. The way the mechanic is built seems contrary to the needs of draft... but, the end result probably won't be as dramatic if the card isn't achem good. I don't know. Maybe it needs to be tested. Changed to Uncommon anyway (and will probably shave a off the cost when it hits the file) but if we need common number 10, this may be okay.
