Based on Mirroria for Challenge # 100.
I tried to think of ideas appropriate for Mirroria but hadn't been done already. This is very similar to some cards that already exist, but is hopefully worth considering.
I tried to think of a DFC appropriate for common (assuming that DFC are acceptable at all). This hopefully fills a Viridian Shaman spot in a way you can't easily do without DFC. Being a G land means you can add another land without having to waste time shuffling.
It would normally be an elf, but Mirroria has treefolk.
Do you mean Elvish Mystic?
But yes, good common DFC.
Thank you. Oops! I meant Viridian Emissary. I was thinking of cards which specifically fit into an aggressive strategy, rather than just being forests-on-legs. Which is actually fairly unusual, but I think it makes sense to have more variety in mana fixers.
Ahh. Yes, nifty. You could make this closer to Viridian Emissary by making the land side tap for mana of any colour; perhaps you'd want to up the size to
2/1 at that point, or maybe not.
Thank you.
Yeah, indeed. I didn't actually want to make a straight conversion of VE, I looked for something similar that could fill a slightly different niche. But I admit, I forgot whether Emissary was "basic land" or "forest, I think I only used it in a forests-deck :)
In fact, come to think of it, to make full use of DFC tech, I should probably make the land one you can't replace with "search for". Either a simple dual land (but what colours? does that make this card too good?) or a colourless land "

to your mana pool", or as you say, any colour.
The colourless land is most unique, though it may hamper green's colour-fixing? However, in order to make a colourless land relevant, the front side of the card should be better than Viridian Emissary. Is 1G 2/2 too good? Is G 1/1 better or worse -- the creature is less relevant, but it comes down a turn earlier.
Alternatively, I could make it "any colour", at either size. At 1G 2/1 it's nearly strictly better than viridian emissary, except that it doesn't count for "number of forests" things.
Good points.
I like the idea of a 1G 2/2 whose flip side taps for
