Having another go at Challenge # 085, I randomed up... Terramorphic Expanse. The budget staple mana fixer. How on earth do you make a mythic Terramorphic Expanse?
It's hard enough to make a mythic land at all - Eye of Ugin was rather dubious. I've tried before, with Summit of the Wyrm.
But Terramorphic Expanse is all about fixing your colours. How can you make that mythic? "Mythic" and "manafixer" just don't go together. Well, except perhaps for Lotus Cobra. That was mythic because of the potential for explosive starts. But "potential for explosive starts" is a hair's breadth away from "broken".
I'm not sure if this works. On turn 1, it invites you to set back your mana development for acceleration; like Remote Farm but much more so. On turn 6, it fixes the colours of all your other lands first. And also more subtly helps you strip all the basics out of your deck.
I tried this challenge and got Llanowar Elves, which was helpfully iconic, but I wasn't sure I could make it mythic except by reprinting Lotus Cobra :)
You could just delete "basic" or "tapped" from Terramorphic Expanse. That would be mythic, albeit completely broken :)
Hmm. A mythic Llanowar Elves. How about an
creature like Mikaeus, the Lunarch who taps for X green mana? Is that in the right mythic spot on the boring-to-broken spectrum?
Yeah, I couldn't think of anything non-boring, but that's a reasonably good idea.
