Testing out the new "get mana" format.

"you get" -> "it produces"

Too much text. I really like the idea to put flavor text on basic lands - liked it since I first read about the idea on the MtGS forums - but you don't want to throw aesthetics into the wind.

This is a wall of text. As a rule of thumb your basic land with flavor text shouldn't be red-flagged for text size for commons (knowing that flavor text usually would be ignored for this).

In this case I'd say the last part "[A]nd while Angband [...]" would be enough.

or stretch the flavor text over several cards. since it's assumed multiple versions of basic lands per block.

That works; assuming you didn't alreayd have another two nice bits of flaour you wanted to put on lands.

This one even conveniently splits into three parts.

Shortened the flavor text.

"This produces" -> "produce"
