I made my own version of this in Card Name Reinterpretations, although it's not very different: Rise to the Challenge #2
This card was created as an alternative to Magma Rift, because I didn't want to just reprint a card. I said over on the Facets of Sienira page "This set would have really liked Plated Geopede and Magma Rift, and perhaps in development I'll swap them in for the cards that have those slots at the moment."
Design philosophy has shifted a lot in the past 6 years, and this would very likely now just be a reprint of Magma Rift... Either that or perhaps the new Devour in Flames, which further demonstrates how massively underpriced this card was.
Hm. Maybe because History Sculptor was blue, and I wanted to differentiate them? I... agree this looks just as blue as white, looking at it now 5 years on.
Why did you choose white over blue?
What about granting the triggered ability? "All creatures have 'When this creature attacks and isn't blocked, etc.'"
formatting
minor templating tweak
remove broken art link
I like this a lot, but I do feel that it should only include basic land types.
Might be a little late on the commenting, but have you thought about making its type just "Land" and then having somewhere in the text box: "This card is all permanent types at all times." or something to that effect? i.e. the 'changeling' ability?
I over-fixed it in the image version, which does need the two abilities in that order to work.
Vigilance is cleaner. People often don't read reminder text.
I had the same problem when I designed the same exact card for an older set of mine (Except mine was a 5/6 for
and was a 'Creature - Angel Beast'. It was also a super-relevant creature in set, since the setting was "tapped/untapped matters" and there were a pile of Master Decoys in set). The reminder text told players they could attack... but despite the reminder text which clearly spelled out what the card could and couldn't do, players would sit there asking each other if the creature could attack. So I added Vigilance. Problem solved.
or you could just add that to the reminder text which is already there.
I'm with Dude here. I do think Vigilance should be first, though: keyword abilities come before most other effects.
It is, except how many people think tapping is required to attack? By explicitly having vigilance, you don't have to worry about whether its first ability is pseudo-vigilance or defender.
vigilance is redundant
I don't really know what you mean. The Import Data function can be used to make mass edits to a large number of cards, yes.
Hmm, image size seems a bit wrong. Don't suppose there's a way to bulk include the image links?
Heh!

This is great, I really really like this design. No reason Lifelink couldn't be on an enchantment really. The rules could be updated to reflect this even if they prohibit it currently. My only concern is that this needs to cost more. Without the lifelink it could be costed at
reasonably, but with gaining 4 life I do believe that it should be costed around 
or 
, or alternatively moved to uncommon, as this is quite the beating in limited.
