Decided to go back to Challenge # 031 and add a new type of card - Terrain.
Terrain cards use the land frame and replace your land drop for the turn (if cards allow you to play more than 1 land you can still only play 1 terrain).
cards like Maze of Ith, etc etc could be reworked as terrains.

As they replace your land drop, terrains need to have abilities that make them worthwhile.

An alternate idea is to have them not replace your land drop but you can only have 1 terrain in play at a time and either if you play a new terrain the old one is sacrificed or you have to abandon the old one before you can play a new one (a-la Archenemy Schemes).

I suspect that a lot of terrains would end up with "When this terrain comes into play..." to help balance them. Sounds good to me.

Well, they need something. Right now they're just lands with "Cannot be targeted except by things that destroy permanents"; and it's pretty odd that land destruction can't destroy terrain, so why not make them just land?

That's the thing It's not a land, it just uses the land fame. I suppose it could e a Land subtype

But why is it not a land? In what way in gameplay does it play differently to land, except that things that say "land" don't see it?

It could be a land I just haven't developed it that far yet, just a seed of an idea that I threw out for our little community to play with.
