This seemed like an obvious cycle for our set, since it seems to be popping up automatically in every large set. Unlike other sets, though, I would assume we would want 5 signets that encourage monocolor, instead of smoothing mana bases. May I suggest either one of the following texts?:

­{2/r}, {t}: Add {r}{r} to your mana pool.

or,

­{1}{r}{r}, {t}: Add {r}{r}{r}{r}{r} to your mana poool.

I like that second one, but it may be harshing a bit too much on red fast mana. {r}, {t}: {r}{r} is probably too weak, though, {r}{r}, {t}: {r}{r}{r}{r} is probably too strong, and {1}{r}{r}{r}, {t}: {r}{r}{r}{r}{r}{r} is probably too situational.

I like the first one. We will need mana base smoothing though, as it is also a multicolored set. Maybe, if the monocolored group ARE the invaders, maybe these are artifacts they brought, and a cycle of lands could be from the plane that the multicoloreds are from.

A cycle of lands affiliated with one half and signets affiliated with the other half sounds sensible.

I agree with Alex, having the signets affiliated with one half & lands the other is a good idea.
I agree with Rourke that, if the aliens end up monocolor then the first idea above is the way to go {2/r} as an activation cost is fantastically flavoured if we go that way - they either enhance their own mana or convert the lesser/tainted mana of the other colours into their own 'Pure' mana.
