to your mana pool. Activate this ability only if you control two or more cities.
Changed from rare to uncommon.
The wording could maybe be "control another city"? Anyhow; I do kinda like this cycle.
In 2 colours they probably aren't worth going for; the chances of getting 2 are too low. But in three you can run 12 of them and now you're cooking with some serious nearly-real-dual gas. Whilst (probably) avoiding it breaking and being too good on turns 1 and 2.
Yeah, I like these. They sortof ETBT in that they can't provide coloured mana on turn 1, like the Glacial Fortress cycle. This does depower very quick aggro strategies to some extent.
A two-colour deck would have to consider the colourless one (City) or the rare one (Witch's World), which is interesting in itself. Good job.
@Vitenka I modeled the "Activate this ability only if you control two or more cities" restriction on the Shadowmoor lands (Leechridden Swamp and the rest of that cycle).
Yeah, but Leechridden Swamp isn't itself a black permanent. Not invading rules-poland, just thought it might sound better :)
@Vitenka I just did a search of magiccards.info and I couldn't find any cards to template for "only if you control another~" so I'm still not seeing a point of consensus we can reach on how this ought to be officially worded.
Yeah, these are really interesting. I'm not sure when I should play them and when not. They may not be very playable in limited, since you need several to be worth it, but they're good if you can get some of the common land. And in constructed, you probably don't have a high reliability of hitting your second land drop -- but OTOH, when you do get one of these, it works immediately without waiting a turn. So they may well be about right, I'm not sure.
And of course, very cool for a five-colour deck :)
Hmm, there's "as long as you control another" and "unless you control another" which was what I was thinking of. "Do not activate this ability unless you control another" is... clunky.
Oh weird. This is rather like my Lair cycle, that Tanglewood Nest is a part of. There are big enough difference that they feel like different things, but if they were printed in back to back blocks, players would be scratching their heads, neh?
