Hmm. I was working on common land ideas for cards that have casting costs like
, stumbled across this and thought "too confusing and good for common". Too good for common is a bit odd in non-basic lands, but, whatever. The question is "Is this too good/too confusing" for uncommon? Or does this need to bump to rare?
(Oh, and if this bumps to rare, does this need to tap for
? I really don't want to make this tap for 
...)
(Also, also. This land qualifies for "A terrible place to sneak in the type line: Land - Forest Plains".)
Oooh, gives you the OTHER mana. That I didn't notice on first reading. Fiddly!
Too confusing for common ... probably. Too good? It doesn't let you get to cc, but does push you automatically to cd and dc whichever you didn't get yet. I like it as it is. Painful as it would be to draw nothing but this kind of dual in a starting hand and have to mulligan them, I don't think it needs to tap for 1.
That's good to hear. This might be right on point for uncommon. Solid, but a bit temperamental.
You could reduce it to common I suspect by making it: 
:
which is a nicely minimal piece of card text. Might make it a bit too good then, though.
That design has been on my mind. I've kind of been dodging it... I'm pretty sure I've seen something very close to it on Multiverse, and it hovers rather close to Graven Cairns. It seems so doable, that I wouldn't be surprised if it popped up next block, or the block after. I've been trumped by Wizards before, and I don't like setting myself up for it.
It is funny, though, intentionally obsoleting yourself. When I made Magic 20XX, I chose Hellbent as the ability that returned because I was pretty sure Wizards wouldn't put that in a core set for a while. H:HH is otherwise a good plan. Had I worked for Wizards, I would have promoted it.
This is just Nimbus Maze but without the tap-for-colourless, isn't it?
Damn it, you're right. I knew it was too good to be true. Thanks for the heads up, Alex. I'm going back to the drawing board.
I thought you were making Nimbus Maze into a cycle when I first read this.
