Alright, but once it's face-down, it's not a land anymore. Anything face-down is a 2/2 creature.
I'd make an argument that the rules can handle multiple different permanent types behaving differently when face down. In this case, however, you can solve the problem by putting tokens on the lands. Seems like that's a better way to go.
Like how Obsidian Fireheart uses blaze counters to change the nature of a land.
putting counters on the lands seems dicey given the widespread use of growth counters (multiple counter types is a moderate no-no), also i might want to use growth counters on lands in the expansion or something
i guess technically they're going to be depletion counters if anything, and in that way i can make them yin/yang like +1/-1
that's not a bad idea actually, food for thought. thanks for the feedback guys
btw the explanation for this card is that i'm considering adding a colourless element to the set to represent the vast expanses of scorched earth from the mending. so this is just a possible example of how a mechanic might push a certain colour towards colourless cards
I don't think Fireheart is comparable to morph. I guess since morph isn't in the set it works logistically, but I don't know if the comp rules could handle it.
