See Challenge # 120.

I wanted to do the worldwake half of zendikar even though it's really the same plane. The ability has to be something like this to me.

However, I'm not really happy with it. The sorcery-restriction is ugly. It's too fiddly with lots of small creatures, but I don't want to fix a size because I need the idea of the lands growing. And there's no clear reason for it to be legendary.

Suggestions?

Dear comment system: Just because Feburary has less days than most months doesn't mean that 18 Feb. is a month ago from 17 Mar.. By my logic, I'm being timely with my response. :p

Maybe if the ability was permanent it would feel more Legendary, while still giving the feeling that the lands are constantly growing? That would means the activation needs to go up, yes. Or maybe only allow the ability to be activated when you landfall?

It's unfortunate that a land that's supposed to represent Zendikar ends up colorless, but I don't know how to solve that one.

I think it's common to use "a month's time" to refer to "the same date in the following month", even if it's not what you'd logically like...

Hm. Yeah, more expensive but permanent could be a thing. Maybe it needs to use +1/+1 counters (or level counters) but that could be ok.

Certainly, the same date in the following month is a month's time. This was a day earlier on the calendar, and only 27 days total.

But it occurs to me now that Alex is probably using Greenwich Mean Time, which means it was technically the 18th in England, while I sat confounded in New England. Stupid sun.

I think my library offers "a month ago" for anything between 20 days and 45 days ago, and "two months ago" for 45 days through 75 days ago, etc.

I've been confused momentarily by "two years ago" on something that's just about 18 or 19 months old, for example.
