Mash-up of Fishliver Oil and Silverglade Elemental.
Ooh. Fishliver oil is iconic, if underpowered. What can I do with this.
Hm. I wanted to do "Enchanted creature or land. If it's a land, it's an island. If it's a creature, it has islandwalk", but that doesn't really take anything from Silverglade Elemental.
So I played with lots of animate land auras. I wanted it to change the land type as well so it could represent the mana fixing/acceleration from Silverglade Elemental, but it was always too complicated.
So, I have something that's 4/4, and a landwalk enchantment. I'm not sure if "shares a land type" is too fussy; ideally it would grant X-walk, but I don't think there's a good template for that.
At least, I have an enchant land which may give you a reason to animate a more interesting land. Ideally it would key off colours, not subtypes, but I couldn't think of a way of doing that either.
Nice; how DO you block an attacking island?
The name conjures up somewhat yucky images though.
"Shares a land type" is a clever reason for making this a land aura rather than a creature.
