This reminds me of some weird fusion of Stormtide Leviathan and Lorthos, the Tidemaker.
Oh, of course they do! Ha, that's delightful. And it's probably worth comparing this to Stormtide Leviathan, which was a Moat as well as an unblockable 8/8 (and not even mythic).
Well, they have the blue - all lands are islands now. But even then, it's a 7/7 unblockable on top of whatever creatures smacked you unblockably last turn.
I guess it's only a conditional win (Muahaha. Fog) but it's 7 not 8...
This doesn't have haste, so opponent only scoops if Naya Charm / Cryptic Command would make them scoop. Next turn they could, um, leave 7 blue up. Should they happen to have 7 blue. OK, next turn they scoop. (Well, take 7 unblockable damage, anyway.)
Well, Mythic. That said, I love all that blue in the cost that someone has to pay. That's very cute.
Pay 7 mana, opponent scoops. (Who the heck keeps 7 mana up?) Doesn't seem very fun to me. But, well, mythic.
3 ---> 4
-2 ---> -3
Moving original ability; changing this one
I really dislike lands lurking as semi-hidden "I win" buttons like this.
I really wish there was a term for "Dry forest that has seasonal wildfires". Yellowstone National Park seems like a perfect
land... but it's just a forest. A geothermal forest with a volcano underneath it... but just a forest, ultimately.
-> Salt flats? Dead sea? (Though that's named dead, sadly) Flooded deltas?
The classic
is of course Taiga. But how about Valles Caldera? (An isolated jungle in the top of a volcano. In actual physical earthly reality, not just Hollywood. Though there's better, still more isolated ones, I can't think of the names.)
I was trying to cost more on the safe side.
On a side note, does anyone have any good ideas for the WU and RG dual lands in this cycle? I'm not asking for card designs, but places on Earth that fit into those colour pairs.
The cost markup for repeatable vs oneoff is incredibly varied, based on a number of factors. Most of them I don't understand, but potential for card advantage is one.
(+2/+2 and trample for
sounds familiar: Selesnya Charm :) )
for an Air Elemental you can cast at instant speed, every turn? Probably not quite that much, no. But the "Use this every turn" is pretty nice and important part of the cost.
I wonder if you can determine power level by looking at the man lands, versus a sorcery that would have a similar effect. For example, what would you pay for a sorcery that put a 4/4 flying creature with haste that sacrificed at end of turn? I don't think anyone would pay
for that, like on Celestial Colonnade, but would 
be a fair cost? Likewise, +2/+2 and trample seems fair (if not underpowered) at 
. Does that mean that 
for a repeatable activation is also fair? Or is Celestial Colonnade by its very nature an unfair card? Or can one even derive proper information from this analogy? I'm not really sure on any of those counts.
What?! dude, are you serious? These are spell effects - good spell effects - coming for free on a dual land! Sargasso Sea looks absurdly expensive for a creature removal effect, but I rather suspect it's priced correctly, because it's creature removal that doesn't take up a deck slot, and doesn't even deprive you of coloured mana like Quicksand did.
The costs are indeed expensive, and development might tweak a couple of them down, but overall they look pretty sensible to me.
Does the ability really need to sacrifice the land? It's quite expensive and not that oppressive. This goes for the entire cycle, really.
Activation cost reduced by 1.
