I noticed I'd put in a white avatar; but no other colours.

And I figured a nice unusual bit of landsearch would work and provide a possible safety valve for the set (which has gotten a bit land explody recently)

And hey; it can even safely be cheap, since there won't be much land in graveyards early on - which then lead me to also making it a punishment card, for a nice bit of in-card tension.

I wish wizards had templated +X/+X as 'X might' or something; so I could just give this card "burned-land might"

(art. TIL there's a comic/cartoon by the name 'soul land')

how dare you call a manga/anime a comic/cartoon :O

(lol)

For that effect, I would expect this to cost a lot more.

Also, they ARE cartoons, eh?

By that logic, Furry Fart Erotica is also 'Art'

I'm calling the Japanese PM

I guess it is very aggressively costed. Hard to work out how much an effect like this should cost though. Probably more than 2, I guess, since you're not likely to run it unless you know there's land destruction going on.

I also point out it's Chinese; not Japanese. So, uh, that might not go down well :)

This would be killer in dredge/mill, though. Land destruction would hardly enable this at all compared to those.

Also, @Froggy, 1) that's clearly not a Japanese name, and 2) all art is art, regardless of your disdain for it.

That's a fair concern - upcosting from 2 to 4.

Vitenka, I can't find the comment about it being Chinese, I guess I'm blind. I'll be the first to admit I often can't tell the difference between Asian languages and just assumed it was Japanese, which was a mistake.

Link, On '1)'; I'm pretty sure Soul Land is a translation, in which case it could be either Chinese or Japanese, considering neither language is that similar to English where "Soul Land" would directly mean something in that language without being translated first. But yeah, now I know it's Chinese, because I was told by Vitenka (and apparently sometime earlier)

By the way, I wasn't serious about anime not being cartoons either, they are. I don't know exactly what the joke was there, but I thought it was funny at the time.

On '2)'; Also, I never meant to sound like I said Anime /manga isn't art, it think they definitley are! I don't personally like most of them, but they are definitely artistic.

The thing I said wasn't art was Furry Fart Erotica, which was the most silly thing I could think of at the time. I still don't really believe is art. It wasn't a good parallel to anime not being cartoons (which was a joking statement) so it might have been confused as me calling anime not art.

I guess technically that very weird stuff is art... but I don't know why anyone would stick up for it when it's called not art, unless to be pedantic ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fifth comment pointed it out. Or; you know, search engine?
