I'm not even saying if you do any playing with lands. Just if we've each got 7 lands, you have a big 6- or 7-mana creature, and I have this, this will keep your creature off the board and all your mana occupied for at least 4 turns. Which is pretty massive.
Nonononono, you can't have just "Counter target spell" with less than two blue mana in the mana cost. But or perhaps with that cost reduction would be fine. (And obviously should be common, not rare.)
The specific ability doesn't matter, I'm just saying if I give a 2/2 deathtouch (or intimidate or vigilance etc) with one of this cycle, and then you use a kill spell on that 2/2, I'm three cards down: the 2/2, this, and the land I sacced to get this.
Cantrip would be interesting. It'd balance the land-destruction element quite nicely. I like that idea. It does make the card do sortof nothing, but the detail is in the "sortof": it still powers up your things that care about lands dying or lands in graveyards, and so on.
Bury is, what (Destroy, they cannot be regenerated)
And yes, it's self mill. Possibly too much. Was tempted to make it exile.
Grumble. Can it be done? I really quite like this semi-cycle.
When you say "bury", are you meaning "put into your graveyard"? If so, then that's some seriously strong self-mill. Good for the cards that care about lands in graveyards, I guess.
Costing looks okay. Unfortunately it's far too wordy, and when properly templated would be even more wordy because "Landfall" doesn't actually mean anything.
Intimidate instead, maybe?
Or are you just saying that crafting with these things is just too rubbish?
Maybe these things should all cantrip?
Hummm, cost it as and reduce cost by lands in your graveyard?
Yeah, this is a pretty big incentive to play with lands. Which green and black will then do horrible things to you for having done. Which seems fair in-format.
Will monitor, I guess.
But it's an 8-cost that horrible that you can probably drop for 4 if you're using minerals.
Uh no, I meant you can play it from hand at either sorcery or "When a land happens" speed.
Reminds me of the recent Revoke Existence.
What does "You may also cast this" mean? If it's in your hand and you play a land you get to cast it for free? If it's in your graveyard you get to cast it every time anyone plays a land?
Hmm. I'm reminded of Protean Hulk. But this isn't as strong as some other rare 8-mana artifact creatures like Sundering Titan or Platinum Emperion. It'd be a lot worse if Emrakul, the Aeons Torn was an artifact, but she isn't, so the worst it can get is only something like Blightsteel Colossus or Inkwell Leviathan.
Hmmm. Sorcery is certainly sensible. But it's possible this could stillbe problematic along with anything saying "Sacrifice a land: Some effect". Which this set naturally has a few of. It'd give you quite a few turns of "Bounce that dragon. You recast the dragon? I rebounce the dragon."
That said, a set needs some format-defining cards. Just be aware that's what you're risking creating here.
Heh. It's probably not actually utterly forbidden. I mean, it's more reprintable than Channel or Balance.
But if you want to be slightly more in line with modern standards, how about a variation on Stoic Rebuttal?
I think that works. However it is horrible, in that it's double card disadvantage when used as a deathtouch source.
This guy is probably way too good. Especially the exit trigger letting you get him back. Thoughts?
Possibly slightly too weak out of format, so I made it equip 0 - which with the minerals is possibly slightly too good.
Argh.
Moved to the rare fey slot.
Decided I didn't like the original (which landstripped opponents decks until they ran out, then got bigger)
This is simple and the world needs more terrors.
