Created for Challenge # 145 using Cave.
The Cave ability is mechanically simpler than Ishiki, Akki Spelunker's. I wanted some other line that would fit with the orochi; eventually I remembered that Kamigawa had Lifegift and Seed the Land, the latter even orochi-flavoured, so another landfall ability made some sense.
("Tsuchi" = Japanese for Earth. This one didn't have to have a Kamigawa flavour, but after I'd made Ishiki with a Kamigawa flavour I thought I'd be consistent.)
This is fun. I could see people playing it in EDH.
I definitely like the flavour of this and Ishiki! And it makes cave tokens seem a lot more plausible as a mechanic than I'd thought before.
I'm concerned, is one land a turn too good?
It might be. It's certainly meant to be pretty good. Compare Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury, who can +2 to make Elvish Mystics.
