Challenge was "Design a card for this art whose rules text includes the words "can't" "don't" "doesn't" or "didn't" exactly twice."

I very nearly submitted Pacifism, but decided it was worth trying a green version that more explicitly turned a creature into a hillside. I wanted the green version to be worse than white removal (both pacifism/arrest and journey to nowhere/oblivion ring) but not strictly worse, so I made it hit all permanent types, but give the controller slight upside of G instead.

It's still a lot wordier than I liked, more like faith's fetters than pacifism. Not a staple common, alas, but green probably shouldn't get removal at common anyway. But no simpler version seemed to convey the same story.

I also considered it might be simpler to directly have "enchanted creature/permanent loses all abilities and is a forest land (instead of its existing types)" but (a.) it's a bit stronger because it removes static abilities and mana abilities and (b.) it didn't meet the terms of the challenge anyway.

I think this rules text is actually equivalent to "loses all abilities" anyway. For the same reason that Spreading Seas works against Mutavault / Kessig Wolf Run etc.

So this is pretty similar to Utopia Vow, except hitting any permanent.

Oh, and I can't see any reason for the "can't attack or block" line if you're removing the type creature...

Oops! No, the version I submitted was "Enchanted permanent is a forest land in addition to its other types. (It has Tap: add G to your mana pool.)" (Now edited.)

The other version would be "loses all abilities and is a forest land (instead of its other types)" which is so much simpler, but not sure if it's perfect.

But I accidentally copied a half-and-half version here which made no sense.

Oops! I accidentally copied this a little bit as Sylvan Rebirth.

Cool. Anydria is a good place for it :)

Thanks. :)
