Random Generator gave me Congregate and Bog Wreckage... and, oh, look at that! It randomly fixed Gaea's Cradle in the process. I'm going to be going through all these lands soon, and slipping something into the alpha file. Not sure how to go about doing it, though. I've got two choices:

­

Argoth != Yavimaya. I don't understand the flavor text.

Argoth is the island that was split in half at the end of the brothers war. Yavimaya is the Jungle at the center of it. The flavor text is a reversal on Gaea's Cradle's flavor text and takes place after the events of Timespiral, assuming that Yavimaya makes a resurgence on 'New Argoth'. The island is still there, after all, but it's been ravaged something fierce throughout the years. Though, I will admit, I'm not sure what state it has been after the events of the Urza Block. I would have used 'New Yavimaya' instead... but that just didn't sound right. Forests aren't 'new'... they just resurge.

I just finished reading the Artifacts Cycle, and the way I understood it was that Yavimaya was a different forest than Argoth. When Urza visited, Multani/Yavimaya got revenge for when he nuked Titania/Argoth.

Heh. It turns out that our confusion exists for a reason. Just lifted this off of MTG Salvation Wiki:

"With the release of Future Sight, Yavimaya was mentioned as being located where Argoth once stood. This has lead to some confusion with readers, due to the fact that this information hasn't been given prior to the book and that Yavimaya has another fixed location on several maps of Dominaria."

It also mentions this, which seems relevant: "A few small, scattered islands seem to have remained in Argoth's location where the few remaining elves eked out a meager existence, until migrating to Fyndhorn many centuries later.".

In theory, The Artifact Cycle books are a bit old... but I'm pretty sure they are post-revision. I don't really know what to make of this information, but I changed 'New Argoth' to 'first new seed of Yavimaya'. Since it's a quote not locked in any time period, there's certainly nothing wrong with that.

Changed the first line to colorless. So it didn't break the cycle (and gave all the other colors access to something very green for no commitment), I added an activation of one .

Ah. This one, on the other hand (by contrast with (((Viashino Caravan)))), does add to your mana pool, so it's okay for it to have the green land frame...

Oop. I'm not paying attention. Unfortunate, but I guess this and the white one will have to have color.

Way to powerful :(

Mmm. It's crazy how powerful Gaea's Cradle used to be. It makes a card like this look tame... though this card is pretty boss.

The skeleton tells me that I still have space for a Mythic Land. I could ignore the power problems on this card and just promote it to Mythic, if the land seems splashy enough to you?

Alternatively, the activation could just be increased. I'd rather not, if possible. It's very good, but it's hard to guage how good. It is, after all, just Battle Hymn.

Battle Hymn just adds red, and is not a land. You can drop a Sun Titan in with this land, get the land back, and then use it again to drop something else, filtering the mana if you have to.

In a limited format, its ok. But beyond that it would be a wallet buster.

"Broken with Sun Titan" is no more of an argument than "Broken with Tinker" is. The problem is Sun Titan, not this card. This is fractionally more recurrable than Battle Hymn, but not enough to matter, I'd say.
