Counter up to one target spell.
Tap all lands target player controls. That player loses all mana.

Shortened the flavor text

"you get" -> "it produces"

"Tap all lands target player controls and empty their mana pool." Mana Short

Yeah, uh, uhm.

This set is trying out some alternative/updated wordings and such that I really don't where I would stick them as to make them clearly apparent. The idea is that I'm not introducing all of these here, but that they would have already been introduced before so I don't really dwell on them or pronounce their presence here.

  1. No longer referencing mana pool (link to the thread): Final Flowering & Drown in Darkness & Curufin the Crafty & Mountain
  2. Auto shuffle clause: Shepherd of the Trees & Elvish Harbinger
  3. "Bury" ~ "Put into its owner's graveyard": Pouring Melancholy & Enter Door of Night & Chthonic Pourer
  4. "he or she, his or her" into "they, their"
  5. "Stealth" used as though it was evergreen (link to the thread): Reaperwraith & Host of the Eldar (I'm also thinking of maybe having {u} common with this ability since a somewhat troublesome slot opened up for that again)

Some of these were (briefly) mentioned in the "Introducing new Wording" thread here.
