by Jack V:

Colourless shift of Regenesis #2 for Challenge # 099.

I felt I had to remove the destruction of the original or it would be much too big for a land spell, even just copying is more like a spell than most lands. I'm still not entirely happy but I like some of the ideas and I thought it was worth trying.

by Link:

Interesting, and potentially very powerful.

by Alex:

Nifty! Might be a little bit too much stronger than Sculpting Steel / Phyrexian Metamorph / Clone, costing "one land drop" rather than {3} - {4} . I guess it arrives tapped as well.

by Jack V:

Thank you.

I think the biggest difference is that it can't copy creatures at all, not even artifact creatures. (And surely costs two land drops, not one?) But as I say, even so, I wasn't entirely happy with it. Maybe it should say "you don't control" to be closer to the spirit of the original card, and make it a lot less reliable?
