A triple search-land {b}{r}{g}, and - oh gubbins. One of Alex's mad artifact-equippage things.

Anyway; this one puts a counter on something when it's used.

So, sure; that seems like a thing we could turn into a land. Pretty sure it exists - isn't there a forest with a +1/+1 counter you can move onto a creature?

A land that adds +1/+1 every turn (the way this artifact does) would be.. mighty.

But plausible, if as a land it wasn't very good. In fact, I think this is a case for a "Not a land"; no ability to tap for mana.

Ugh; not a nice card at all. I should rethink this.

"isn't there a forest with a +1/+1 counter you can move onto a creature" - Yep, Llanowar Reborn.

This is actually very similar to Novijen, Heart of Progress, but removes the 2-mana cost to make up for also losing the ability to tap for colourless. Which is a big problem - this isn't really a land.

To be honest, I know the arguments, but I wish they made a few more lands that don't produce mana, since I like the stress they provide. But only a small sprinkle, though, because of... well... stress.

Yeah, Maze of Ith ot reprinted, so we know it's allowed sometimes. This still feels a bit unsatisfying.

Maybe: "{t}:Add {1} to your mana pool, and put a +1/+1 counter on a legendary creature you spend this mana on" or something like that.

It didn't really get reprinted. Just in Masters Edition which is "get all the weird old cards into MTGO" and in a From The Vault set which was "foils for the collectors and EDH players".

It's not been reprinted in an actual paper set with modern design principles, is what I'm saying.
